“Fed officials are still split about how much to cut interest rates as the government shutdown deprives policymakers of key data, with some worried more about inflation and others more concerned about the job market.” Bravo! What a brilliant way to run the world’s biggest economy. What happens when the “data dependent” Fed no longer gets data because of the government shutdown? They’re driving the car while looking in the rear view mirror but the mirror just fell off.

$1M per bitcoin will not be hyperbitcoinization. Plan accordingly.

@Marty Bent My local government informed me that they assessed the value of my house increased by 61%. My property taxes are increasing 61%. This is a tax on unrealized gains. My income has not increased. I have realized any gain in the value of my house.

This is the signal of societal collapse. Tooth flossers littered on the street. A bunch of savages in this town.

You know how I know we are going to win? Bitcoiners never complain about hard work. They relish it and wear it as a badge of honor call “proof of work.” Harvesting apple trees is proof of work.

Just did a 30 minute high intensity workout with my 12 year old. Then I gave him a copy of Animal Farm by George Orwell. The next generation of bitcoiners will hardened like steel.

What in the actual fuck is this? This is the action of governments that are about to engage in wildly unpopular and undemocratic military operations. We need nostr more than ever. The US Defense Department is requiring journalists to agree to use only pre-approved information about the military or lose their credentials to cover the Pentagon, the latest Trump administration effort to shape media reporting.

I’ve gone nostr only. My life is more peaceful and better. Feels like when I stopped watching cable news.

Thanks @HODL for the recc on WBD. @Oshi (推し) Hodl butter is dope. I ate an apple with peanut butter every morning for years but became disgusted by the amount of seed oils. I have a new breakfast. The hardest products must be bought with the hardest money, only on nostr

Your regular reminder that the majority of the federal government is unconstitutional. The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." It enshrines the principle of limited federal authority, ensuring states retain autonomy and sovereignty over matters not assigned to the federal government.

We are passing from apathy to dependence. It is not just the corrupt governments we must be vigilant against. It is the selfish voters who want something for nothing that gives these governments their power. A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage. Alexander Fraser Tytler

The main question was “how do we maneuver them (the Japanese) into the position of firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves.” Secretary of War Henry Stimson His personal diary 10/25/41 You don’t hate your government enough

@npub1zrys...8vpd #math #forthekids #bitcoin I took my father and 10 year old son to the pub for a burger. My father said he remembered when it cost $0.20. My son’s cost $10. I made my son do the math to figure out that the cost was 50x. Then I made him calculate the cost when he takes his grandson to the pub. He was shocked that it would cost $500. I asked him what he thought about the path of our society? He said it wasn’t good and couldn’t go on like this. Even a 10 year old can figure it out. WGMI
