That’s exactly what crypto does. There are no real profits. Crypto does not produce anything. It is entirely “looking for the greater fool”. The entire point is buying it in hopes that someone will buy it for more than you paid. That’s a Ponzi scheme.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

I think this gets to the heart of liberal-left complaints about the press. Political reporters think we're criticizing them for not being on "our" side. We're not. We're criticizing them for not being on journalism's side. Unplug from the DC celebrity access system and do honest independent work.

He emitted over 20 tons of CO2 on Sunday in order to spend four hours in Burbank. Come on people, we need to push for carbon taxes! Carbon taxes are wealth taxes too if you want to think about it that way. I think that $200/tonne would add like $2/gallon cost and seems like a fine start.
