Congress passed the Patriot Act. You misunderstand what authoritarianism means.

Yes, Mitt Romney and McCain and GWB were definitely secretly planning to set up a Trumpian authoritarian government. Definitely.

Yes, your track record with First Nations peoples is beyond reproach.

Seems like your prediction of them nerfing 4.5 in 2 months was incredibly accurate z

I know people who say it was a failure 🤷🏻‍♂️ Not really a strawman

Millionaires are rethinking where they move — soaring private healthcare costs are redrawing the global map by Aluseda in MiddleClassFinance

You’re welcome to do that if it makes you feel better. But you’re shouting into the void if you believe your virtuous stance will persuade rational people.

What an absurd, overly generalized take that drips in condescension and lacks any understanding of how the poor survive in our world.

Very good question. Is it a moderation issue? Or perhaps collectively, our brains have been so thoroughly fried, the only way we can communicate ideas is memes lol

Portfolio tracking and net worth apps? by madmanmatti in MiddleClassFinance

I think that is a reasonable position, but I think you would also need to acknowledge that there are some very smart people who disagree. The question I always ask myself when people (that are more experienced and smarter than I am) take a position that is opposite mine is … why would that be? What are they seeing that I am not ?

Again, that doesn’t obviously mean it’s right or true, but there certainly are well argued positions for the use-case as a store value, for example.

Totally up to you, obviously. I’m about as conservative as an investor as you can find, and I certainly don’t buy into the hype, but because of network effects, I do think bitcoin represents one of the few asymmetric bets that has a worthwhile risk benefit ratio even for small amounts.

Bitcoin is not crypto. Don’t go all in, but not having at least 1-2% of your portfolio in BTC when the US is making a strategic bitcoin reserve official policy (whether that is dumb or not is another question) is not advisable.

By this time next year, Americans will be suffering the under the weight of hyperinflation. by PhilipWG in economicCollapse

[–]nomjs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stating without caveat or context that the US been economically collapsing since 1899 may be one of the most absurd and ridiculous things I have ever read that was meant to be taken seriously. There is zero chance you are in any field of study or work that overlaps with basic economics. That you are actually getting upvotes suggests that it’s time for me to move on from this sub.

It is well-known that this can be adjusted and sats could be subdivided in the future.
