    In
    Which part? Trump the "republican" signed all the paperwork to set this in motion. In March of 2020 he removed all banking reserve requirements (technically the FED did with the administrations approval). They then also appointed Blackrock to help "manage" toxic assets... which is basically 10-20% of all debt in America at this point. Blackrock got to manage another 4T in "on the book" assets between March 2020 and now - not bad eh? They already were using a pseudo AI "Aladdin" program to buy slightly controlling shares in every company and that went on steroids in 2020. Ever wonder why you have such a unilateral message coming from everyone in Corporate America? It's because most of the CEOs borrowed cheap money to drive up stock price (with buy backs) then exercised those nice stock option bonuses between 2016-2020. Then they sold out and "retired" in 2019/20 leaving the company with insane PE Ratios and no real way to pay back what they owed. This is supposed to be illegal but they can cook the books 1000 ways because no law is foolproof... plus Trump was rolling them back. So corporate boards are entirely beholden to Blackrock and Vanguard who have stepped in to buy these golden parachute stock options. Blackrock in particular is a big fan of the ESG score crap so now basically every publicly traded company is owned by the US gov through Blackrock. If we had rule of law I'd be okay with it but we don't. The literally are buying up everything with the "cheat code" enabled. Idk what you'd call it, some sort of hybrid fascism or communism. It's at least some sort of socialism, brought in by Trump, while he said "America will never be a socialist country". In fact, you could argue it's the worst kind of socialism where the elite literally cannot fail until the currency does. America is being looted the constitution shredded and as it turns out as long as you keep the people who are supposed to guard the public stupid, fat, wellpaid and happy in a bubble they won't do anything about it.

    Like Dom said, you have to grow up and stop thinking in terms of left or right. It's just who isn't going to take more from you these days. The only real political danger right now is coming from people like w8 who buy into bs narratives that allow governments to steal more from everyone. It's double hard for us gov employees because they are insulated from the fallout of these decisions because they get paid at this point by pure extortion. They use violence to get what they want. They are the largest terror organizations on the planet and need to correct course before we end up having to write yet another tragic genocide history.

    Also, to be fair most people really have no clue what's going on. Follow the money always works. The tech behind these digital currencies the us and others want are literal end-of-humanity level threats. We have to correct course or it's maybe 1 or 2 generations left for average joe.
    This is very extravagantly put, but this is just a transitioning economic age. Characterized by emerging markets and more integrated connectivity. It's daunting because wealth is generated out of nowhere and it is all unfair but so emblematic of basic evolution that it is practically criminal. What's happening at the same time though is more laws get created to tax transfers. Things get thinned out of course but more fluid at the same time. That's why nobody notices. It also happens to be true that more archaic systems of rents are broken down, leading upper class interests to divest more into the modern age. That's also something that tends to happen throughout time.

    Mostly salt, pepper, and garlic.

    One's their basic blend called "The Blend" that's just salt/pepper/garlic, one's a sea salt/garlic/butter (maltodextrin), and one's a smoked garlic variety but does have spices as backup.

    I still need to get herbs in there for the crust, and yeah add sugars and coffee/cocoa.

    Hahaha that's a good one.

    For real though beyond salt pepper, steaks take good to herbs as an lateral flavor. Sweets, spices, and tangs should be used sparingly for subtle distinction.

    Pork seems to take better more often to main ingredients that are sweet.

    That's a stretch.

    Interestingly, Putin seems to announce they are no longer taking usd for oil? This was the biggest part of my 2019 prediction. It's interesting seeing how long these things actually take to play out. I wish I had been looking at these things from a monetary perspective since I was 20.

    Seems like a rather pedestrian commodity when concerning dynamics between Russia and China/America/EU, but Russia did join OPEC some years ago who are probably the last people to care about western diplomatic agendas with Russia.

    Hardly, ensuring oil was only bought in dollars was one of the worst moves for the middle class but best for the elite.

    It's more stock market development. That's where all the powerhouse money comes in. CEOs would hardly be a thing without dramatic investments.

    Think of it like a massive Jenga tower built on... well basically fraud. Kissenger knew what he was doing going to the Saudis and getting everything ironed out with OPEC back in the 70s. The dollar is only backed by blood if they no longer demand it for oil. It allowed the folks in Washington to basically print bubbles and cash in on the bubbles on both sides. Our only exports are terror, death, and green pieces of paper now.

    Look at what went down in 2014-2016 with th Saudis thinking they would have to sell treasuries... We killed people in Iraq for 30 years because they threatened to export oil in yuan or rubles etc. The Saudis had a direct hand in 911 and we instead invade their competitor.

    Peer pressure is a timeless tactic to move those that are on the fence. I like your style. I got in on Jan 24th with a small amount. Looking at the charts I timed it pretty good for recent times. I suppose you have a good hard wallet like ledger.

    I'd rethink that in the near - future. I ended up getting about 12 NanoS/X's to break it up. Some of it's in banks (and a vault) and some of it's near at all time. We only keep the max $250k on each FDIC (Like Coinbase) account. If I didn't have a family I'd be on a sailboat and GTFO'd by now.

    Yea I'm just doing whatever I can to get enough money where I work because I just want to and not because I need to. The problem is lifestyle and existing debts lol.

    But you name it and I do it (other than mining). Get free crypto through brave that's staked on gemini. I have the crypto.com card. I also have the coinbase card that I use to pay my credit card bills and student loans which results in me getting anywhere from 4% to 10% tax free crypto cash back just for paying bills. It adds up.
