Parents are to blame for teaching their children poor eating habits. Government is to blame for making healthy food expensive and forcing taxpayers to subsidize trash food. Way to kill your children!

Social Security isn't a savings account. Social Security isn't a pension fund. Social Security is an accounting IOU. The taxes stolen from your paycheck to fund this IOU no longer cover the costs and soon, payouts will have to be reduced. If you want to save for the future, don't trust government. Government will only make you poor. Instead, look for something, like Bitcoin, that will retain its value.

There is new evidence showing that silver and gold were used as money far earlier than previously thought. The common bartering narrative is largely a myth. The use of sound money, rather than barter, has been a much more significant and enduring part of human trade. Barter might work between neighbors, but it does not serve communities well.

Thus, though his place be above men, they do not feel his weight; though his place be before them, they do not count it an injury.
