@dead_baseball Is it the ignoring inflation, or the ignorance to the length of social security's solvency that leads you to believe it's not an honest comparison?
@DissidentMedia Let's f'ing goooooooooo! The last remaining glimmer of hope in a shroud of Republicans clamoring over big spending, surveillance state, and protecting diddlers
Almost a decade ago I was the Harvard economist that said that bitcoin was more likely to be worth $100 than 100k. What did I miss? I was far too optimistic about the US coming to its senses about sensible cryptocurrency regulation; why would policymakers want to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities? Second, I did not appreciate how Bitcoin would compete with fiat currencies to serve as the transactions medium of choice in the twenty-trillion dollar global underground economy. This demand puts a floor on its price, as I discuss at length in my new book Our Dollar, Your Problem. Third, I did not anticipate a situation where regulators, and especially the regulator in chief, would be able to brazenly hold hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars in cryptocurrencies seemingly without consequence given the blatant conflict of interest.

@AGPamBondi I have never witnessed a more soulless existence. Kudos to you ma'am for having the strength, or lack of moral integrity, to get up and do things like tell us you're rooting out the deep state while charging a man with a felony for throwing a sandwich in a militarized zone
@tracybeanz @matt_vanswol Oh, stop. You know that doesn't make it any better. We're supposed to believe it works when 268/270 of them are awful but that's just because we didn't participate hard enough π
A group of 5 armed soldiers with a foreign country's flag on their uniforms is coming down your street toward your property. They have committed no crimes that you are aware of, but you have heard of similar groups breaking into houses and killing people in your neighborhood. You have a gun and a good vantage point from your house. If you start shooting while they are still on the street, your family will be safe. If you wait until they are on your property and they intend to harm your family, your family will die. What does libertarianism tell you to do in this situation?
It was so easy to get by back in the day that you can be retirement age, still not know the difference between "care" and "car" ... or "expense" and "expensive" ... but still get to lecture people who get auto-rejected by a computer for such things about pulling themselves up.
@resetbasis@dig_deeper1 If you're working while you're already at the airport for work (or at the airport not for work), you are exactly the target demo for AmEx Platinum
@3YearLetterman You can tell Catturd is a boomer because he plugs his charger into the alarm clock. It took him 3 hours to charge his phone for this photo #catturdfacts
