@AlbinMartinsso7 @JamesGRickards But that's kind of a self-referential argument. It's a pretend token paying an 'income' in more tokens created out of thin air.

@AlanFreestone @JamesGRickards Its income providing? A treasury which doesnt pay interest is obviously not an asset.
English
Yes. A "reserve currency" is just a numeraire. A "reserve asset" is the instrument you actually invest in. China does not have stacks of dollar bills in the basement. They own U.S. Treasury notes. This is one of many flaws with Bitcoin. It's a "currency," but there are no assets.

@JamesGRickards could the reserve currency and the reserve asset be two different things?

I've not been commenting on the terrible Israel/Palestine thing, but the politicised policing we see in the UK is incredible.
I was threatened with arrest on Westminster bridge by the riot police unless I moved, but a protected group can apparently protest there with impunity.

I think more bank accounts of grifting, xenophobic racists should be shut down.

Damage to Ukraine is devastating + sadly Zelensky has now used current war to concentrate Power + accelerate a corporate firesale - Over 3 million hectares of Agri lands are now owned by companies based in Western tax havens - What are the Working Class Ukrainians dying for...?

What an absolute pile of sh*tcoin.

The state has created a nation where at 22 years old, most are still only suited to roles that a 16 year old school leaver could fill, but now they've wasted 6 precious years & got £60k+ debts.
They are insane & they hate us.

Step 4: Start charging £10,000 a year tuition fees + cut grants so students end up £60k in debt with a worthless degree.
Step 5: Criticise the system you built & punish the poors.
English
Step 1: Incentivise the F.E colleges to offer 'beginners English + I.T' and health & safety courses instead of teaching the trades.
Rishi Sunak@RishiSunak
Too many students are being sold a university education that won't get them a decent job at the end of it. So I'm cracking down on rip-off degrees and boosting apprenticeships to ensure students get the best deal possible. Widening access. Boosting jobs. Growing the economy.

This is Shelagh Day, the JSO fanatic who disrupted George Osborne’s wedding. In 2019, she successfully got Bruton Town Council to state a ‘climate emergency’
6 months after she jetted to Thailand for 3 weeks, a 10,000 mile round-trip by aeroplane. & 3.3 tons of carbon emissions.

"public life" is code for being part of the distracting political theatre performance whilst power is exerted out-of-sight by the elite parasite class.
Angela Rayner@AngelaRayner
I speak like people do where I grew up. I want people from backgrounds like mine who’ve been told to “know your place” to know that public life is their place too. I spoke to @ObserverUK about pragmatic socialism, solving problems - and shoes. 👠👠 theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Jacobin@jacobin
Like many socialists around the world, G. A. Cohen invested the Soviet Union with his hopes for a more just and equal society. In time, he grew disillusioned with the USSR — but he never stopped fighting for a better world. jacobin.com/2023/07/g-a-co…

@SadiqKhan They aren't free, someone is paying for them.
As fiat money impoverishes people & forces both parents to work longer & longer hours, the state is forced to step in. Kids coming to school unfed is just a symptom of a MUCH bigger problem.

The boy in this photo relied on free school meals.
Now I’m making sure every child in a London state primary school will have free meals at school every day from September.

@SocialistNHS So who do you think SHOULD pay for the inefficient NHS?

@DrProudman Of course you do, you're just pretending that you don't.

If Russia laid down its arms, there would be peace. If Ukraine laid down its arms, there would be no Ukraine. The fastest way to achieve peace is for Biden to stop pussyfooting around and give Ukraine the weapons it needs to take back its territory. Then Putin will negotiate.
