Gm nostriches, lovely morning, first time taking the bike to school with the eldest, casually pedalling away, free, independent. Mild splinter in my mind after wondering which one was worse, genocide or socialism? Then thinking about the “market intelligence” session being the pursuit of knowing so much they can plan the economy they’re selling into……. Wait, that’s socialism too! Suppose the “die is cast” for how Friday will go, also had to slip a fight club reference in there. #coffeechain @M A D E X image

Horrendously dark in places, phones getting monitored in the Uk in the name of safety, free speech being a weapon of war, but let’s give it up for Canada, those in government are not the friendlier cousins of America, they are murderers and drug dealers, selling it as a helpful service. When will Canadian Normies wale up to these atrocities https://fountain.fm/episode/lcX15LDaDpyMuLUmbJ9B image

“With more money or money substitutes around, their price - that is, their purchasing power - will diminish. And this will show itself as a rise in the prices of other goods - what is commonly called inflation.” @VonMises on the consequences of money printing in Eamonn Butler’s primer to Von Mises. Absolutely loving it and feeling there are a good few quotes a missed from a paper. Ah well, always room for improvement.

Gm nostriches, Sunday morning, time to get cracking with the roast!!! Grabbed some short ribs the other week, so attempting something slightly different. Rump on the side just in case it is only me that eats the main event. Still recovering from being obliterated in Catan, twice. The eldest does not take prisoners when it comes to board games!!!!

Gm nostriches here’s to a wet Saturday morning, reflecting on the week gone by. Fascinating stuff coming out of the by election, an Urdu language social media post from the greens. Showing the use of the labour playbook of appealing to communities that will vote as a block/ votes are control by community leaders. Vote for us and you don’t even need to learn our language, we’re kind. Reform as already watering policies down and they will likely never be able to appeal to such groups. Konstantin Kisin with a very clear review and my new favourJavier Milei, about voting for stuff you want with “government money” “we can all be a whore with someone else’s arse”, why thank you sir. Currently interested in the second order “partners of the greens”, Hannah the plumber living with an animal testing “researcher”, Zack with a palliative care worker. Hmmm, choosing to sleep with merchants of death? Suppose MAID will be arriving in the uk once they get in power. Kind? My arse, oh……. Yeah it will likely be my arse they will be looking to mess with. #coffeechain working it’s magic, with an arrival of part 4, if you know, you know.

Whoop whoop, been tipping my barber in sats for a while and he showed some interest in silver, so happily traded him a silver Britannia for sats (at a good rate because I wanted sats and wanted him to keep some of the sats he’d been building up). Sats for silver mother fucka’s!!!!!! @Hector Alvero maybe not the ideal orange pilling route, but hard money is the ultimate aim. 🫡🙌

Gm Nostriches, happy Friday for all those who celebrate. Kicking the mind into gear for some teaching today, the subject, INNOVATION!!!! Material provided is so dull, so wracking my brain for some interesting examples to get them thinking, bring in some creativity and possibly some unintended consequences, and who knows, there may even be some engagement. Wondering whether to drop bitcoin as the greatest innovation at the end of each session. 🧐 But first #coffeechain, note, that is NOT a shot of Guinness, although it’s a nice thought. image

“In fact, says Mises, monopoly would be at its zenith under socialism, where all production is in state hands. The real source of monopoly, and a malign one, is not capitalism, but government…. Governments can simply vote themselves monopolies” Eamon Butler on Von Mises. Such a clear explanation and critique of communism lite (as I like to call it) while all the timing those greedy entrepreneurs for contributing more value than they take. Covering innovation in class tomorrow, the material is so dry and dull. Going to maybe drop a little Austrian knowledge bombs!!!
