Politics divides. Trade brings people together. Destroy political power & set trade free.

We'll see how things go, but primaries have been stolen on both sides in recent history. And maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect we have reached a point in the corruption where the general election may never have an honest outcome again. Sure it's not a ton of effort to throw a rock at the tank once every so often, but the amount of time & energy most people spend on politics would be much better spent building useful things. Black markets save collapsing societies, new presidents can only marginally delay the inevitable.

You can't fight criminals via the channels they set up for you to fight them.

You have to stop funding them & create tools to help protect people who disobey them. When everyone can comfortably disobey then the tyrants have no power.

Democracy is (at best) lowest common denominator mob rule. And the reality is that you can't gain control of the mafia & turn it into a charitable organization. Governments can only sustained by criminal acts, otherwise it ceases to be a govt.

You vote, you don't get to complain. You want democracy, I don't.

I refuse to pay taxes & contribute to the system, we are not the same.

I don't vote because they're all criminals, but Trump seems to scare & piss off all of the worst people in politics & the media. He also didn't start any new wars & tried to take conflict with N Korea off the table which puts him lightyears ahead of most other politicians. He was such a problem for the bottom line of the military industrial complex that they made up "Russian collusion" & repeated that nonsense for 3 years & then used the emotional distaste they manufactured toward Russia in the minds of idiotic Americans to garner support for a proxy war that ultimately kills millions & just destroys Ukraine.

Our criminal govt investigated the man for years & the charges they finally brought are built on "novel legal theory" because they had to stretch to even pretend a crime was committed, & of course they waited until just before the election year to bring said charges.

It couldn't be more obvious how corrupt everything is, people who think Trump is the real problem are brainwashed morons.

The Amish didn't die from covid, one of them probably died from remdesivir (which hospitals were being paid to administer, & then they got paid again when patients died).

The Amish seem to basically be immune to autism & chronic disease, they also don't get vaccinated.

We are living through a time when the criminals in power are realizing their game is coming to an end. No matter how they lash out, ultimately it will not save them.

You don't think they are gonna need you to get money off of an opendime too? I mean if you expect them to ever hand over the whole amount like cash, the seed plate is just as good IMO.

On-chain gifts may be hard to move if not of significant size. If it was me I think a Liquid seed carved in steel for a small amount would be good, or a regular Bitcoin seed carved in steel (I'd just set either up on a Jade). You can gift them just the metal seed with the amount & instructions to recover it via the free default Liquid/bitcoin software they can download & run on any computer, or you can gift it with a Jade too which they can restore & setup for themselves. And just tell them to treat it like cash & keep everything in a safe.

Anyone got a search engine they really like?

"I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it."

This is an interesting read

This is actually better than modern "science" because at least it can be replicated.

The universe is infinite, we can always produce more of something, the question is, at what cost? Resources are only finite in a practical sense because our lives or the time available for us to access or to produce certain things is finite.

Socialists & communists on the other hand want society to function by stealing what has already been produced. It involves a total denial of any resource constraints at all.

$30 of junk from Starbucks, no problem.

$15 steak too expensive.

You can even order just beef patties as a side from most fast food places for like $2. People generally don't eat better because they are addicted & don't want to eat better, not because they can't.

Well, if you are one of those people you could help enlighten me right now, but you seem reluctant...

I am not saying that it's impossible to avoid being incredibly lonely without kids, or even that loneliness can definitely be avoided by having them. I'm not saying it's impossible to have a fulfilling life without kids. What I am saying is that everyone is going to die. And without kids all the people close to a person's age will die & become incapable of traveling & interacting in a similar time frame. Kids (if you raise & treat them right) are likely to produce a growing network of loving relationships with younger generations of people who wouldn't exist without you & as a result have some natural inclination toward loving & appreciating you, & seeing that you are cared for in your old age. What happens later in life is certainly not the only thing to consider, but it's an important piece IMO. I think the more someone tries to buck our biological programming, the harder it will be to achieve real feelings of fulfillment.

And I think there is a very anti-human cult of people trying to encourage others not to have kids & to misattribute natural feelings of awkwardness to being in the wrong body & other such nonsense.

Market anarchy with sound money which should roughly result in a meriticratic social heirarchy. But political power is basically always evil.
