Great news: if we exclude most of the essentials of life (shelter, food, energy, and the second-hand ability to get to work), then price inflation is back down to a 2% annual growth rate.

@Mau_Bastien Si. Creo que el cambio importante no sería por mes sino por años. He usado ChatGPT para textos y mas allá de su efectividad creo que su valor intuitivo radica en su capacidad de síntesis.
Environmental impacts are the missing piece in the sustainable development picture.
Is evaluation adequately incorporating natural systems in development evaluations?
What can evaluators do better?

This is an awesome thread.
100 paintings from places around the world, one from each of the years in the 1600s.
It's a great historical/cultural snapshot and an opportunity to briefly get outside of whatever industry/bubble you are currently in, as a timeline refresher.
There were only five years in modern history where global energy consumption decreased from the prior year.
1980
1981

That is why demand destruction is a really hard path when it comes to energy.

For people that get caught up spending a lot of time worrying about bitcoin's energy usage, it is worth keeping the actual numbers (and competing interests) in mind.

The U.S. 🇺🇸 is insolvent:
It collects $4.8 trillion.
Spends 4.2 trillion in entitlements/military.
If has just 400 billion to pay debt. If the 10y rate goes to 3.3% interest obligation goes to 1 trillion. The US should be considered a CCC (lowest rating in the junk bond market)
In the process of sending my first bank wire and I'm utterly confounded with how terrible of a process it is.
Currently stuck on hold over the phone with my bank and all I can think about is how antiquated the whole system is.
1/ Update: there are now more than *2 billion people* living under the extreme time theft of double or triple digit inflation worldwide 🚨

Solar power is sure to be a revolution.
More than half of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa live without electricity. Off-grid #solar systems can turn things around and reduce #poverty.

1/ The US, Canada, and Mexico have enormous proven energy reserves and the technical know-how to become the dominant energy-producing region on the planet. It can be done cleanly, safely, and domestically – all while reducing the strength of our geopolitical enemies.
