I see your point but this is just semantics. You say we shouldn't fight hate speech with hate speech and I agree. But I think we should call things as they are. People denying other people the right to escape from distructive circumstances are not good people and I will call it as such. I have lived and seen how people in Africa, Middle East and Asia are being denied the right to move around the world or worst, to seek for their children a better life than the one they have been born in. The empires, the "civilized" countries think they are entitled to occupy territories, exploit their resources, make political agreements with their leaders and not grant them visas. Politicians made life not fair for these people with their engagement in territorial conflicts and people living in confort zones get informed from tv about them which accentuates discrimination and the sense on insecurity. My point is we have gone to far with focusing so much on words that we no longer see the facts. Some people should ripe what they saw✌️💕

Not looking for a debate neither, but why isn't migration a positive concept that helps the development of the country? Because people living in it are afraid of change, racists or just haters of the Other? EU has a responsibility not only towards the member countries but also towards the people turning away from armed conflicts, poverty and corruption, at least that is one of issues on the table. I know americans build the sense of self and moral judgement on nationalism, but that is just one way of looking at things. Why can't we be sailors of the land sharing our each unique offering? I know this framed, 4d, image driven era has turned us into brands from individual level, to corporate level, to state level, but most are devoided of truth and the shitty part is that we are training the collective intelligence through these exchanges at human scale.

Hallo liebe Nostr-Familie,

Demnächst teile ich mit euch meine kurze, aber sehr interessante Reise nach Schweiz, Zermatt.

Get outta Saifedean’s way Frens 😀

Poor credit ratings and awful IMF loans, gold purchases by the US for freshly printed dollars, and France's first buying rights deflationary force are also factors to bring into this. Sheer inflation indexation is a poor measure for anything. I think the CFA is a crime and the French people are oblivious as to what their socialist society really runs on.

This hurts.

I’ve always been amazed that people go cashless, meaning they literally walk around and even travel without cash, and just rely on cards to pay.

Credit and debit cards are centralized and can be shut off or denied for all sorts of reasons, or can run into technical issues. BTC/LN is better because it’s decentralized, although it still needs power+internet and merchant acceptance. Cash as physical bearer asset money is great. Of course I wish cash was redeemable for something sound, but maybe in the future that’ll be the case again. In the meantime it’s good to have a few meals or taxis or hotel rooms worth of cash on hand.

I always have a diverse mix of digital and physical payment methods on hand, so I never get caught unable to pay.

So far in life I have only had one instance where I couldn’t pay. I was at a restaurant in Cairo a few years ago and their card machine/connection was down, and were only accepting cash. I had physical US dollars but they were part of a bigger corporate restaurant chain and so didn’t have the flexibility to accept them. My husband normally carries Egyptian currency but didn’t have any on him that day, and since he carried it, I previously did not. Neither did our friend that was with us. So we had to go on an awkward search for an ATM for a while and then come back and pay. And from that point I iterated, so I always carry Egyptian currency in Egypt as well as my other methods. And it has come in handy a bunch of times, when my husband needs some spare cash for tips or something I always have a little stockpile ready to go since I am a stickler about always having a certain amount whereas he is more flexible.

I always have a kind of “prepare for everything” type of mentality and like to be in control of my situation, and thus always have like backups for my backups in various contexts, including payment or being able to access various types of value anywhere, even when such preparation is not really needed.

What do we think? 🤔
