My point is there's not enough water in the world for the damage 2/3 up the Great Pyramid to be wave erosion

the triumph of reality over delusion is inevitable (and not up to you)

I think there's a major bifurcation between dying Democrat megacities & the rest of the country.

I am pretty confident I could support a family of 4 on $100k/yr.

$100k per year pre-tax -> $70k after income/payroll taxes

Minus roughly $2k/mo on housing

Minus roughly $2k/mo on food

Minus roughly $1-2k/yr on utilities

Minus roughly $5k/yr on transport

Minus roughly $1k/yr on clothes

This leaves roughly $14k/yr of savings / spending

And honestly a lot of those costs could be cut if you really had to

Barebones maybe $1200/mo on food and $1k/yr on transport, freeing up another $14k (ish)

But trying to raise a family of 4 on $60k per year (pre-tax) seems... very challenging from my perspective, that would about cut out all the spending I perceive as optional or avoidable.

This is double the official federal poverty level.

Excuse me, Giza is 60 meters above sea level. So the maximum possible sea level should be less than 10% up the base of the Great Pyramid.

So the damage shown on the pyramid does not come from wave erosion.

I did a little more internet searching

You are right that the top of the Great Pyramid is roughly 200 meters above sea level

However, if all the world's glaciers & ice melted, internet search tells me it's only about 70 meters of sea level rise. The Giza Plateau is 30 meters above sea level, plus the Great Pyramid is roughly 140 meters tall, so the "wave erosion" should be at most 1/3 up the pyramid, not 2/3+

I don't think there's enough water on the planet for 200 meters of sea level rise

Also what would cause waves to break at that height? If the pyramid was actually underwater it should just be getting swells, not breaking waves.

We're in an Ice Age right now (defined as there is ice at the poles, which is not always the case), so over the next 50,000 years we will likely have melting and a few meters of sea level rise

yet another in the long line of "progressives discovering traditional society and thinking it is some new thing they have uncovered"

Don't forget about metal disks

yeah silver has been ripping

protip: don't shoot yourself

For those capable of higher reasoning, here are some safety tips:

1) Treat every gun as if it is loaded

2) Don't point the weapon at anything you are not prepared to destroy

3) Don't put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire

4) Don't fire until you are sure of your target and what is beyond your target

A small portion of the founding generation (mostly coastal elites) agreed to the Constitution, which had limited powers of taxation

Many did not agree to even those limited powers, as in the whiskey rebellion

thank goodness we have saifedean otherwise nobody would be warning about the creature from jekyll island

Stinger missiles now exist, so a country can overcome a deficit of hundreds or thousands-fold in military spending.

We don't see Russia flattening Ukraine.

I view WW2 America as a technical and industrial juggernaut that conquered the world (with the help of her Russian allies), and has knocked over undeveloped tribal peoples since. That industrial and technical power has stagnated while the rest of the world has industrialized.

Even under fiat economics, I don't believe USA, PROC, RF or any of the other "great powers" is in a position to wage total war against any of the others.

I believe that we are heading for a gold standard world again, and that this will further suppress international conflict as it becomes even less affordable than it is now.

As you know I am quite skeptical about the bitcoins
