@BigB9501349349 @PaulSkallas US student loans literally create the inability to deal with the consequences.

The normal process for people over their heads in debt is bankruptcy, a long time of bad credit then a fresh start. In the US it's illegal to discharge student loans. No other country is this extreme

@PaulSkallas America could just allow student loan bankruptcy after certain amount of time.

In Canada it's seven years after you finish school. The problem in the U.S. is there isn't a release valve.

For the love of God stop trying to do it alone. So much of change comes from the perspective created by seeing & being seen by another.

Doing it alone, you’re liable to become far too confident and limited in your perspective. The affordances and vividness of the world collapses & you start crafting imaginary towers in the sky based on some faulty, unquestioned belief. You lose the ability to recognize that there are other options than doubling down on what you’ve been doing over and over.

It’s possible to get perspective on your own, but it is extremely difficult. It requires a lot of patience, persistence, & honesty. Much easier (and more fun!) to come to others

What once began as a noble experiment in forming a digital currency unencumbered by financial institutions, cryptocurrencies have proven to be an abject failure by every measure.

There are on the order of only 30 million bitcoin wallets whose value is greater than $100 US; this represents at best about 0.36% of the world’s population, hardly a sufficient number to provide a global medium of exchange. While there certainly exist some fringe cases of utility, most notably by individuals needing to transport value outside dictatorial countries with broken and oppressive economies, cryptocurrencies are largely an object of speculation, driven by market manipulation and the economy of the greater fool and favored by criminal organizations and countries such as Russia and North Korea seeking to avoid sanctions. The ancillary industries spawned by cryptocurrencies – NFT and DeFi and so-called Web3 - never gained traction, and indeed proved to enrich a small few at the expense of the many.

At the start of this technology, I was curious and hopeful, but it is clear that human greed has irredeemably ruined it for all.

I am not sure if Trump realizes that he has screwed Israel, particularly Netanyahu, in a way that they can’t even complain about without admitting their own lies and hypocrisy.

For decades, Israeli politicians had carefully created a fictional Iranian nuclear threat, while Israel’s actual objectives always were Iran’s destruction as functioning country, through civil war and in the best case scenario: balkanization.
And if that’s not possible, then at least the continued isolation and sanctioning of Iran, along with continued outside meddling, sabotage, and endless terror.

The worst-case scenario for Israel has never been a nuclear Iran (sure, that would have prevented them from regularly attacking Iran) but an unleashed, unsanctioned and internationally accepted Iran, which never needed nuclear weapons in the first place to become a superpower.

Netanyahu, in his hubris and with the sole goal of saving his own ass, started this catastrophe -and Trump, in his desperation to get out of this catastrophe to save his own ass, just absolutely nuked the entire Israeli agenda by giving them something they always claimed to want -in return for something they absolutely NEVER wanted.

@InVitroFuture I love when people see two groups of people trending 10% more one way over the other, then read into as if they are a total binary.

There are countless conservative women and lefty men.

@KellMorrHK Yes! You get it.

Small businesses thrive in China because the CPC controls the top 100 companies to prevent private monopolies.

They control the banks, land, energy, transport, and infrastructure. And in tech, the CPC holds golden shares in every major private tech firm.

The Communist Party of China has $125 TRILLION in assets. Their state owned enterprises generate $11 TRILLION in annual revenue.

State ownership in China accounts for 60% of assets and 50% of revenue, and you still believe the propaganda that China is capitalist.
