Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me.
It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@BurtRock69 @JarrodRodrigue1 @USA_Polling You are not arguing against his claim at all, but i think you know that.
English
@JarrodRodrigue1 @USA_Polling I’m just gonna get food stamps instead of making a billion dollars you’re so right. Why do anything?
English
I'm a big fan of the idea that once you hit a billion dollars, you get a plaque in a park saying that you won at capitalism and everything you make over a billion is taxed at 100%

BREAKING: Elon Musk’s odds of becoming a trillionaire this year hits 82% — a record high.

4 BTC lost using Brain wallet.

It’d be pretty ironic if all the BitAxe guys started mining BCH instead of bitcoin. 😂
Doug Dimmadome@tallhatdoug
holy fucking shit. I just mined a BCH block with <1% effort using a BitAxe. 10T share. God is Good.

@intellivisi0x @TerribleMaps That's silly, it would be negligible to make it no longer navigable if needed
English
@TerribleMaps National security. If attacked, we can lose the coasts and withdraw into the interior and be perfectly fine with the Mississippi for transport, but linking it to the coasts introduces an attack vector.

Why has the US not built a canal here to rival the Panama Canal?

@ekaneomics @Jetskigrizzly There's usually a line from what I've seen. It was a decent hotdog. If im there around lunch and there's no line I would buy one why not
English
@Jetskigrizzly Signals and symbolism. Even if people don't buy and eat it, it's a signal to consumers that prices there are low.
I'd wager not very many people even buy it (had my first 1 last week). It's just a powerful and concrete thing people can point to about low prices
English
Anyone have a good theory on why normies love the Costco hot dog story so much?
Trung Phan@TrungTPhan
Costco CEO Ron Vachris did the “CEO eats his own product” challenge by destroying a hot dog (and confirms the Costco hot dog combo is staying at $1.50 forever). Legend.

lore drop: i once told a guy at a farmer’s market his flute playing was very andre 3000–esque
he said “that’s good, i am andre 3000”
we chatted for a bit, then he drifted off playing the flute. no one else around knew who he was
compliment people, you never know where it may lead
English
@AlHendiify Why is this even an issue? If there's a dark ages and people doe from waste....Who cares?
Its such a weird thing to worry about.
English
Now show us 10,000 years worth of safely stored waste and how you communicate to a society 500 years into the future that no longer speaks the same language that this is an incredibly dangerous material.

FYI, this is what 20 years worth of safely stored nuclear waste looks like. You can fit it in a third of an average convenience store parking lot.

@EudaimoniaEsq @BaronVonNemo I live in the tri-state area and didn't really understand the pizza thing until I went to the Midwest and had the worst pizza I've ever had in my life the first pizza that I threw out I didn't know you can make pizza so bad
English
@BaronVonNemo I don’t get the bagel thing. I don’t get the bodega thing. I *somewhat* get the pizza thing.
English
I maintain that the single most insufferable thing about New Yorkers is that they bewilderingly try to claim everything. This transcends politics—all New Yorkers do this. Yes, everyone has coffee. Everyone has convenience stores (nicer than your “bodegas”). Everyone has what you have and it’s usually cleaner and cheaper!

@HistContent Isn't it a know thing they did to stage giant armor and weapons and shoes etc, leave it in the camp when they leave, to freak out the natives thinking they have giants.
English
Not one giant shoe. A pattern
At Magna Fort near Hadrian’s Wall, 8 of the first 32 Roman shoes unearthed are over 30 cm long, and the largest reaches 32.6 cm, the biggest yet in the Vindolanda Trust collection. At nearby Vindolanda, only 0.4% of measurable shoes are that large.
So what was Magna housing: unusually tall soldiers, a specialized unit, or a frontier population unlike the rest of Roman Britain?
English
There are ancient vitrified forts in Scotland
Hillforts whose stone walls have been fused into glass by temperatures exceeding 1000°C.
We don't know why they did this.
English
@atroll12345 @BigCheds @HayekAndKeynes I think starting the war was stupid the way it was done. I'm not convinced they were a large threat to us at all, But at this point. I support ending the threat for good
English
A terrorist regime that has terrorized everyone in middle east and was days away from having nuclear weapons applies to us Americans. Not to mention all the sleeper cells we are witnessing and assasination attempts, and killings of hundreds of american soliders they have been responsible for in the last 40yrs, and the hostage crisis too. I can keep going. This is a russia and china ally we are talking about. Learn how the world works. For the first time we have a president who is brave enough to address these issues and is willing to risk mid terms for the good.
English
NATO allies who didn’t offer military support to help close Hormuz may soon see how much that decision will cost them….
Defense would have been cheaper than the energy bills that are coming.
Fools learn from experience.

@BigCheds @HayekAndKeynes Oh keep your wrong opinions to yourself. Maybe ask the people in middle east or Iran or Israel before you comfortably guess from your couch in USA!

@Tina848Laczko @LinkofSunshine Yup I only feel it from a distance when its being used to cook
English
@LinkofSunshine We test substances for allergens and have a booth were we place subjects. Peanut butter does not have airborne particles while just sitting open, it is when you stir or mix it. Then we get some. Pollen, dust, ragweed are all airborne
English
There is basically 0 hard evidence that airborne allergies exist outside of extremely rare circumstances
In one experiment, they just straight up held 29 people 3-inches away from a thing of peanut butter and found not a single one had anything close to a reaction
English
@LinkofSunshine What? I can literally feel it in the air, it starts to feel like stuff is in my eyes and my brain will get foggy.

@esrtweet I was not around for the pre git era. But I heard that it was a while job to be the human merger. You would work on a feature and hand it off to a specific guy who's whole job was to merge everything.

What Uncle Bob says is true; I've been here for 46 years of this and it startles me when I actually remember how primitive our technology was.
Probably the biggest change between interactive programming at a terminal and AIs was version-control systems. I remember before we had them, but now it's hard to wrap my mind around that.
Uncle Bob Martin@unclebobmartin
In the first decades of computer programming, there were no engineering principles. We just threw code at the machines and kept what worked. It has taken us 80 years to build up a minimal set of engineering principles -- and few yet follow and understand them. AI vastly increases the power of a programmer. That minimal set will have to be expanded. And those who don't use the minimal set will have to learn.

@Innerdevcrypto @melivora45 For me, what feels off is that its not a vacuume. Powerful people, some maybe even acting illegally in some covert ways, will try to take him down to profit off of it.
They dont all play by the rules the law outlines. His system is a honeypot
English
@melivora45 as said before
i do not base this on any rational analysis, i have analysed his strategy in depth, and i find nothing wrong with it
but still....something just feels very off about all this
English
Just so i have said it publicly on here:
I think the whole Michael Saylor bitcoin adventure will end up with the biggest blow up we have seen in the history of crypto. My analysis of his strategy does not find a mistake, but i base this on my intuition, something just feels very off about this
Or he will end up with almost all of the bitcoin, which is just as bad
Either way, no happy ending to this story in my opinion
Hope i am wrong on this, but when i see yield promises of 11.5% combined with CT en masse saying bitcoin will moon again...all my intuitive alarm-bells go off
