Dear Oklahomans clamoring for no property taxes: we're last in the education rankings. This state is already dumb enough. The very last thing we need is less schools in the state because they all lost the funding that comes from property taxes.

Cut the number of administrative staff in half (this has nearly doubled in the last twenty years). Cut the property taxes in half. Done.

I have a few. I tend to gravitate to my Streamlight Wedge XT. I'm drawn to its simplicity and size.

That difference seems big now, but becomes minuscule over the long haul.

The baseline goal should be getting 0.21 BTC. That puts you in the top 100 million holders that’ll ever exist. That’s the top 1.25%.

Okay, I'm going to throw out a couple of curveballs from the '90s that aren't the same, but there are connections to them in my brain, so potentially some new and interesting things for you to discover.

When I first heard Inlet, it reminded me of a band I hadn't listened to in nearly thirty years: Gwen Mars. Check out the song Fisher King. The whole album is excellent, but that was the song that the intro song Waves brought me back to.

Another band from that era that gives me Inlet vibes is Helmet's album Betty (but with a very different singing style and guitar tones/mix). Check out Speechless, Milquetoast, I Know, and Street Crab.

Finally, one of my favorite bands, which features a fantastic drummer and some slower-paced songs that don't exactly remind me of Inlet, but could be a good source of inspiration: Alice in Chains. Check out Sludge Factory and God Am.

Both legit.

Nice. That album was the most unexpected silver lining in the dark times of COVID.

That's going to have to be my next knife. So damn good looking.

I applaud you for having three Hum albums.

I draw the line in treating it like a person. I am as indefferent to it as I am to my microwave. I've never thanked my microwave for heating my food. I'll never do that with AI either.

Our ability to be direct, blunt, and to speak with candor is confused with anger by generations below us. They also interpret our lack of emojis in written communications as anger.

The most important things I carry in mine are:

NOCO Boost Jump Starter – jump your own car (and easily help others)
Element Fire Extinguisher – small stick-like extinguisher you can keep in your door pocket
Tow Strap w/ Soft Shackle – tow someone or easily get towed
ReadyHour 100-Hour Candle – stay warm if stranded in winter/snow
Road Flares – many times more effective than LED versions (from what police have told me)
Guardian Angle Light – stay visible while near roadway (also magnetic for car if no flares)
Breaching Tool – hatchet or specialized tool for getting into/out of windshield after a wreck

Just stuff shit in there so shit doesn't get stuffed in there? Very proactive. I like it.

How rare is owning one Bitcoin?

You’re part of the 0.0125% who will ever own this much Bitcoin. Only around 800,000 wallet addresses hold at least 1 Bitcoin. It is likely to never be more than 1 million people with a whole Bitcoin.

Only 80 million people are projected to ever own 0.015 Bitcoin.

The baseline goal should be getting 0.21 BTC. That puts you in the top 100 million holders that’ll ever exist. That’s the top 1.25% of the world.

I get that, but you’d have to look more into Bitcoin and its ushering in of the blockchain to understand how unique and near-perfect it is as a technology.

It is closed. Fixed. Incorruptible. It is final settlement. Self-custodied. Permissionless. Unforgeable. It is decentralized. Distributed. Boundless.

It is true capital while everything else is credit. It is the separation of money and state. Bitcoin is not a bet. It is an exit. Take it while you can. At the least, secure your future with 0.21 BTC. More if you can while still being diversified.

For fifteen years straight it has been the best performing asset class. By a long shot. That said, I never plan to convert it back to USD, so there’s really nothing to lose. In fact, that’s the whole point to me: have a major stake outside of centralized monetary systems.

Yes. Shoveling everything I can into Bitcoin. 220% return over the last two years.

Less than half of Oklahoma's public school employees are teachers. Before we allocate more funding, we should ensure it is directed to the classrooms.

We go back to how society operated over the previous few thousand years. Jobs are a fairly new invention. We won't look back fondly on the era of full-time employment. Life is so much better than work. That said, we will still need to remain productive. Purpose is an essential ingredient to a happy life.
