@shaunvlog_ I would add Tuscaloosa to the route through Alabama. I'm sure some locals can tell you better which places to visit.

@DanteTheDon The law is the problem, not the court. Some lobbyist paid off the right politicians to get federal preemption over the states for this regulation. The court just has to rule on the law as it is, not how you'd like it to be.

@joerussotweets Good luck...

@JoshuaYukiah I hope you get what you deserve then.

@annakhachiyan I would agree, but it isn't just the affluence, it is also an independence bias. Some of this independence is natural, preference that can only be achieved in affluence. But living atomized lives because you don't want to share will have bad results.

@hellmoneypod Was the retarded summary of the CLARITY act a bit? I feel like you covered the GENIOUS act when it passed, but you're acting like it never happened. Anyway, it is market structure, not stablecoins.

@stoolpresidente That podcast looks like it sucks. Just whining about stuff?

@hellmoneypod @rodarmor @realizingerin look up "bootleggers and baptists" I think that is a better framework than the moral majority.

@MetaMask @monad Did you test this with ledger? I can't use metamask on monad now. All I get are errors.

[plor @plor]

@monad Actually, this is broken if using proper security (hardware wallet) and you end up using a different wallet and still paying gas fees.

[plor @plor]

@mikashi This actually forced me to use phantom. Metamask gasless gives an error when signing with my ledger. And I can't turn it off to just pay the 0.001 MON.

@rodarmor The way I'm thinking about it is we are expecting AI to think and act like a human so we give it tasks accordingly. If instead we give it many shallow tasks that are set up to add to a greater whole, they will prove valuable indeed.

@theallinpod Has Jason always been this annoying? I just started listening in the last year or so and can't tell whether he is playing up some libtard role as a bit or if he has just always been this way.

@Rob1Ham @halfin I think this is overlooked in the quantum resistance debate. It is not that there are algorithms that can be taken off the shelf and plopped in. We have to discuss the trade-offs of any one and assess both security and state threats that might be introduced.

@hellmoneypod @saylor @americanhodl8 @_DannyKnowles Erin is right about technofeudalism. It isn't that no other arrangements exist, but what is the primary mode in a society. I'd put us at a 6 and increasing. If 5 is breakeven we are already there, but maybe we still think we are in the old system.

why not just raise income tax rates?

because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”.

you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens.

you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.)

the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen.

the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure.

it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking.

that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all.

i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%.

want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes.

want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…
