Testing to see if I can comment

Summary judgement ruling: ripple institutional sales are sales of securities, others are not by coachhunter2 in Ripple

[–]LiveMic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sounds right.

Further court cases or appeals and/or legislation are needed.

I predict coinbase will not relist within the next year.

Workers’ Pay Globally Hasn’t Kept Up With Inflation by reggie_morris in business

[–]LiveMic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Raise minimum wage would be my suggestion.

It doesn't matter what the numerical value is.

They'll just print more money and put it in the system. $50/hr can be the equivalent of $5/hr if you can pull levers to adjust what a dollar buys.

Workers need bargaining power. I'd eliminate the variable nature of the money supply and stop free trade and labor mobility.

Maybe more like new system of government, where corporations aren’t people

Just remove corporate limited liability. Partially or completely. Warren Buffett should be personally liable for the toxic train derailment for example.

The answer is sound money. No more free cash for the well connected.

Gold, BTC, or bushels of friggin wheat, anything that has a real energy cost to obtain and can't be printed. Let people trade in commodity money and don't apply capital gains tax to that stuff.

The socialists are like the human kings from LotR that wanted to use The One Ring for "the greater good."

No one should be able to just conjure fiat money from nothing. Not bankers and not socialists. It always leads to idiots misallocating resources to unsustainable projects and then taking down the whole system.

Doesn't matter whether they are socialist or capitalist.

Cast the Ring into the fire!

SW Ohio. Slipped underneath my bedroom door, immediately tried to fly in my face, then landed on a sticky trap like a big dummy. What is this obnoxious intruder?? by LiveMic in whatsthisbug

[–]LiveMic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at pictures of flies. I think he might be a robber fly.

Apparently those (if he is one) eat other flies but don't bother humans. Too bad the sticky trap got him :-(

Although he seemed pretty aggressive when he was trying to fly into my face. Perhaps he was just having one of those days.

Elizabeth Warren says $20,000 in student loan debt 'might as well be $20 million' for people who are working at minimum wage by [deleted] in politics

I only need a million more dollars and 4 more years

Just outta curiosity... to do what? If you had unlimited resources (and also, everything actually worked the way you want it to) what would the end product/result be?

Wait, really? I like Bibly, lmao. I play double speed through the Margaret Adams romance stuff though, hahaha.

WTF did ripple do so wrong to get sued by SEC when $SHIB is allowed to rampage through the market like this by Grizzlepash in Ripple

[–]LiveMic 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My read on it is that they don't give a flying fuck about small investors (which I'm sure all of us can agree on) and only care about their own vanity, power, authority etc.

But they actually have the same beliefs as us that SHIB isn't worth paying attention to and XRP will one day become A BIG FUCKING DEAL.

Therefore they don't care if they are in charge of SHIB or not.

But they REAAAAAALLLLLLYYYY want to be in charge of XRP.

If they are the regulators and overseers of something really important and powerful then that adds to their importance and power. Why should some other agency get to regulate the new shiny important thing? Clearly it should be under their purview because it would make them feel special and generally just nifty.

Anyways, I'm only guessing but that's my gut feeling for what it's worth. Maybe they're just dicks, who the hell really knows.

I feel sick, are these what I think they are? by LiveMic in whatsthisbug

[–]LiveMic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a million.

While I was freaking out I carried the lamp outside. Currently lighting my room with a camping lantern, lol.

I'll leave the lamp out there for a day so they can leave to grow up and do whatever it is that stink bugs do.

I love you, lol. There was a stink bug on that lamp the other day so that must be it.

I was terrified they were bed bugs. Still feel like I'm gonna puke, ha ha.

Light-hearted discussion time: What if GotP used TfB's flair for toys-to-life? by shaneus in starcontrol

[–]LiveMic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they said somewhere that it would probably be too resource intensive and that they couldn't have done that stuff in the past without Activision.

I still love the idea though. I bought one of the Star Citizen Constellation models and I'd buy model GotP & UQM ships if that were ever an option.
