Broken systems of money and education are the root causes of most of the world's problems. Fix the money. Fix the education. And the world will fix itself.

The original version of this song came out in 1982 by @tearsforfears 40 years later, Mad World is even more applicable to our society. Please learn how our broken systems of money and education are the underlying factors to societal decay in our world. youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1M…

@ModestTeacher Super fun. Didnt learn much that I could apply to real life tho. Then spent all of my adult life working a job just to earn a paycheck and health insurance, so I could afford nicer distractions. But yes, I had a good time in public school. I guess thats terrific.

I lose about 20 followers a day simply because I am anti war. Funny because the Bitcoin space used to be an anti government/war crowd. Now it's a bunch of statists that worship politicians. This space has drifted VERY far off course.

@MarketPalmer_ You're just arguing w the wrong ppl. Find someone with intelligent and considerate rebuttals to your statements, and you'll likely find yourself at least considering other possibilities Otherwise, you just argue with a wall, slap a silly post up on X about it, and learn nothing

A couple points as people seem fired up about this: – Our kids are at daycare 7-8 hours, 3 of which they’re napping. They wake up at 6am and go to bed at 7:30 or 8pm, so they’re awake at home longer than they’re awake at daycare. Not to mention weekends, holidays, and all the time we take off to do things with them. – I have no issues with one parent staying home to be with the kids. It would be awesome if both of us could! There are pros and cons to it all – and definitely no “one size fits all” for any families. – This post is a knock on those who think daycare is some evil entity and parents who send their kids to daycare are not good parents. I strongly disagree with that – but again, everyone’s situation is different and that’s the point that needs to be understood. I wish all you parents the best – kids are such a blessing, and we’re all striving to give them a great life 🤝

ME: Daycare is expensive, but worth it. THEM: Why would you pay to have someone else raise your kids? ME: They're not raising my kids, they're taking care of them while we work. THEM: One of you should quit your job so you aren't handing your kids off to strangers each day. ME: They're not strangers, they're professionals. And we'd have even less money if one of us stayed at home with the kids. THEM: It shouldn't be about money, it should be about bonding with your kids. ME: Kids need bonding with more than just their parents. Their daycare teachers and other kids at daycare are some of their best friends, and they're excited to go each day. THEM: You're letting them get indoctrinated by today's education system and propaganda. ME: They're literally learning colors, the ABCs, and how to count to 10. THEM: Some parents just don't want to be parents! ME: *stops arguing with a wall*

@PeterMcCormack Indeed. The spread of information (both good and bad) is easily the best weapon against corporations and govt the plebs have. The internet may likely go down as the best invention we've ever had. Even more than BTC.

I’d push back on this. His intelligence is irrelevant. Until the Internet decentralised content, we were only fed corporate media propaganda. Now we get the conversations we have in the pub, played out in public. Normal people like us have a voice, and we're the ones who ultimately pay when governments choose war and death. We get to collectively say fuck you, I didn't vote for or want this shit.

Theo Von is arguably the dumbest sentient plank of wood in existence. The fact that someone with his level of geopolitical illiteracy gets to sit on the world’s most popular podcast and casually spew that kind of brain rotting nonsense is actually impressive in the worst possible way...

@educatedandfree Well said. Like most everything in life, this too cycles. We are in the downside of the current cycle, with lots more room to fall. It's gonna get ugly for many. But the upside is that we tend to rebuild better. It's like a fire clearing dead forest growth to make room for new.

Everyone needs to understand that the reason everything is so corrupt and people stay silent on the corruption is because of the government jobs. As the government grows, safe, pensioned, fully-insured jobs grow. People in those jobs reliably vote to increase the size and scope of government programs because, hey, more awesome, unaccountable, well-paying jobs! They are all unionized, so not only does the state get the votes, it gets millions of dollars to market (aggressively) expanding government to normies. The purpose of the government job then effectively ceases to be educating kids or helping the sick, etc., and becomes expanding services because expanding services means increasing six-figure, six hour a day, pensioned jobs. Service actually worsens the more money is thrown at it because the jobs get further and further away from the purported mission of the state agency. You don’t have to look any further than your public schools to see this in action, especially in a state like California where the number of state employees j creased by 24.5% while the population increased by only 0.4%. The only good news here is that failure is baked into the cake here. The bad news? That failure comes with a lot of fallout for anyone who remains in the state.
Maria Davidson@MariaDavidson

California's population grew 0.4% in the last decade. The number of state employees grew 24.5%. Total state spending grew 48%, inflation adjusted. You have to ask - where did all the money go?

And now for some good news… young men are committing far fewer violent crimes than past generations. NY just had lowest amount of murders in 3 months in decades. This is a national phenomena. Unclear why this is happening. Less drinking could be part. Lower testosterone. Social programs. Whatever the reasons this is great news. It also means we are going to see a whole lot less people in prisons and jails in a decade. We need less prison beds not more. We need to push back against correctional unions that are fighting this. It should be the decade we close prisons not build them! When I started in criminal justice reform there were 2.3mm in prisons or jails. My bet is that by 2035 we will be 1/2 that. We need to divert the resources we should save to making sure the men and women who do serve time come out as productive, tax paying citizens.

Doug gets this exactly right.
Doug Casey@RealDougCasey

Although the average person doesn’t understand economics very well, he does understand that some people are getting rich without producing anything. In today’s US, a certain class of people have gotten rich because of inflation (theft), not production. How so? They’re wired to the government and the Fed. When fiat money is created, it goes to them first and in the largest amounts. The average guy doesn’t benefit from trillions of government spending. The “elite“ and members of the Deep State, however, benefit immediately and directly from fiat currency creation. The broad public suspects a theft is going on. They just can’t quite figure out who the thieves are. So they blame the producers. Which suits the government perfectly; they can “step in“ and pretend to be the hero. A society based less and less on production and more and more on the theft of pre-existing wealth inevitably becomes a Hobbesian warzone of all against all.

FIVE YEARS OF GROCERY RECEIPTS JUST EXPOSED THE MOST PROTECTED LIE IN ECONOMICS. Since 2019, the government says cumulative inflation is about 25%. Here is what actually happened to the things you buy every single week: Eggs: +79% Ground beef: +77% Coffee: +68% Car insurance: +55% Electricity: +43% Bacon: +26% Bread: +24% Five out of seven of those are running 2x to 3x faster than the official number. And the only two that tracked near CPI? Bacon and bread. The lowest-cost, lowest-margin items in the basket. The things that actually drain a household budget, the protein, the energy, the insurance you are legally required to carry, those are the ones the official number keeps understating. The CPI was retooled in the 1990s to reduce reported inflation. They added substitution adjustments. They changed how they weight housing. They smoothed out the things that spike. This is documented BLS methodology, not conspiracy. Food overall is up 30% since end of 2019. Car insurance premiums up 54% since 2020. Electricity just hit all-time record prices. But the official line is 2.4% annual inflation and the Fed debates rate cuts. Your grocery receipt is the only honest inflation report left.

@ManShapedBoy @blockchainchick "Overall groceries are pretty close to inflation" Only if you buy what the CPI tells you to buy. That's like saying "the average height *is* 5'9. I know lots of ppl who are 5'9! It must be true!" Nice try, Jerome🙃

@BullandBaird Thing is, can you imagine how far we'd be along if we actually taught cooperation, empathy, and negotiation? We are simply unevolved. Humanity cycles in the way of empires, and ours is on the way out. And while humanity generally trends upwards, the down cycles are pretty nasty

In 1968, RFK was assassinated. MLK was assassinated. We had major race riots. Massive DNC chaos in Chicago. America was on fire. Politics were a disaster. It was probably horrible to live through. An excruciatingly bad year for our nation. Yet we sent 3 men around the moon. One year later we would land on it. What’s the lesson you need to learn? That even as things around you seem to be falling apart, humanity advances. We make strides into the future regardless of whats in the news. It’s why optimism about the future will always win. We are the greatest species to ever exist, even with all our faults.
