Dealing with banks in 2025 is a bureaucratic pain in the ass. If you have little money it's all automated. No person will help you solve a problem. If you have more, the paperwork is endless. Kyc, aml, tax, id... and all needs to be updated frequently. Neobanks at least try to have nice ux for the kyc surveillance hell. It's very clearly an industry benefitting (and suffering) from huge barriers to entry in the form of hyperregulation. No competitive industry would treat users like this.

Oldstream news does a segment on rising prices... at the end their expert explains the cause of inflation: "prices rise because things happen" 🤦‍♂️

Hace unos meses #hispano tenía menos de una publicación al día. Ahora hay varias personas escribiendo a diario. ¡Es muy esperanzador ver como va creciendo la comunidad! Imagino que dentro de unos años cuando haya miles de publicaciones echaremos de menos estos inicios en los que nos conocemos todos.

"Shouting fire in a crowded theater" Shouting fire in a crowded theater is often cited as an exception to 1st ammendment protection of free speech. The example was used in the Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States (1919). This ruling was overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969. This latter case also clarified that in most cases "shouting fire" would still be protected speech.
