@Landeur Lol have you actually looked at the libertarian movement in america.
Their whole ideology is basically muh weed muh porn.
English
I actually think this is true, yeah.
Smart enough to philosophise and generally moral.
Not smart enough to realise that most people in the world are retarded and immoral / amoral so their libertarianism is a dead end.
Jordan Howard@Skwerilleee
Libertarianism is just 120 IQ people with a strong moral compass projecting their psychology onto everyone else.
English
@ronnieagabajr I wonder what percentage of people who like that sticker understand that economic freedom is the same way.
English
This is the most depressing thing I have see in a long time.
I can't imagine thinking a hard limit on what people can achieve is somehow a good thing. It's like advocating for failure.
I know that people who make this stuff don't understand economics, but I can't help but feel like they actually want to destroy civilization. To me this reads like, someone else is doing better than me so we might as well burn the whole thing to the ground.
Envy is possibly the most dangerous aspect of human psychology.

This one seems to be doing pretty well.
Yeah, we have a lot of issues that we all complain about, but essentially nobody with an understanding of history would trade it for living in any society prior to capitalism.
Heck, even if it meant you got to live like a King in that era it would be an enormous standard of living downgrade.
I would 100% rather work at Dunkin' Donuts in 2026 than live as the richest person on Earth pre 1600's.

Name a successful capitalist one.

Name me one successful communist society. Lol.

@evilduck92 @rnefftax @mike_datlof And the 24 hour clock.

No…sunrise at 8:30 in December/January is not a good idea

Trump wants to make daylight saving time permanent. Now a bill is heading to the House floor. Are you onboard?

You kept your crypto in your own wallet. Now you can spend it without giving that up.
The Spritz card funds directly from your wallet at the point of sale. Your keys stay yours until the moment you tap.

@SallyMayweather Dash has daily tx volume that's generally higher than BCH, and it has had privacy built in for a long time.
I think it's also a fair assumption that a larger percentage of Dash volume is retail transactions given the existence of Dash Spend, Sprtiz bill pay and such.
English
Why is BCHx revolutionary?
We’ve never had a coin with the retail adoption of BCH that has base layer privacy too.

@PLegalization When there's a good candidate I vote for them. I don't give a shit what party it's in. There's too few good ones as is.
English
Stop voting for Republicans
reason@reason
Thomas Massie loses, proving that deficit hawks and foreign policy doves aren't welcome in Trump's GOP. If this is how the Republican Party treats the libertarian-leaning lawmakers in its midst, then libertarians should take note and act accordingly: reason.pub/4dWJwot

@JetSetGent @farzyness If you can do it cheaply at scale because of autonomy and low maintenance you can reduce traffic by doing it.
English
@farzyness That sounds better than it actually is. The problem is traffic. They had some “luxury buses” running between Boston and NYC for a while. Constant stop and go traffic made the ride extremely uncomfortable.
English
There's an UNBELIEVABLE use case for regional trips in the US that will decimate air travel and buses.
Fully autonomous Tesla Robovans outfitted as long-haul first-class "buses".
These would run routes similar to Amtrak or Greyhounds, but with First-Class-like comfort, amenities, and space.
The price per seat of these can be the same as a bus, but FAR more comfortable and FAR more luxurious.
Can obviously optimize the interior for the best configuration but MAN. This would absolutely KILL.

@beyond_capital Yea for sure. All those great inventions that came out of socialist / communist countries has been life changing........

@beyond_capital Then why doesn't labor just make their own competing phone?

@lisathebeauty1 Got news for you, inflation is real, and it's not caused by landlords. It's caused by government.

why AI data centers actually need fresh water. not recycled. not wastewater. fresh, drinkable water, burned through by the millions of gallons just to keep servers cool. why are we using a basic human necessity to prop up machines??

DURING THE DOT COM BUBBLE EVERYONE CALLED YAHOO THE SAFE BET
WHAT THEY MISSED YAHOO’S CLIENTS WERE THE DOT COM COMPANIES. THE ONES WITH NO PATH TO PROFITABILITY
THEY COLLAPSED, YAHOO COLLAPSED WITH THEM
SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN AI. EVERYONE RUSHING TO THE ‘SAFE’ INFRASTRUCTURE PLAYS. GPUS, CLOUD, APIS
BUT WHO’S PAYING THOSE BILLS? AI STARTUPS WITH NO REAL REVENUE, NO PROFITABILITY, AND A VC CHECK THAT WON’T LAST FOREVER.
FUNDING DRIES UP. DOMINOES FALL.
SO WHO ALL IS YAHOO THIS TIME? (YOU ALREADY KNOW)

@SkylineReport The only part of that I favor is the balanced budget and that only happened for a very brief time back in the 90's.
English
Who built the America you benefit from every day?
Social Security.
Medicare.
The Civil Rights Act.
The Voting Rights Act.
The 40-hour work week.
Overtime protections.
The last balanced federal budgets.
Democrats did.
A lot of Americans inherited the results so completely they forgot who fought for them in the first place.
If you voted Democrat, you helped build this country.
If you didn’t, you still live inside what they built.
And it’s not too late to figure out who’s actually spent decades moving America forward while others screamed “socialism” every single step of the way.
People will drive on public roads, collect Social Security, use Medicare, cash unemployment checks, send their kids to public schools, then turn around and ask what Democrats ever accomplished.
Historical object permanence continues to beat this country’s ass.
P a u l ◉@SkylineReport
People keep talking about Democrats like they’ve never materially improved America. But let’s look at the scoreboard. • The last president to deliver multiple consecutive budget surpluses? Bill Clinton. • Social Security? FDR. • Medicare & Medicaid? LBJ. • Civil Rights Act & Voting Rights Act? LBJ. • Minimum wage, overtime protections, major child labor restrictions? FDR-era Democrats. • FMLA protections? Clinton. • Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act? Obama. Even the modern middle class was heavily built through Democratic-backed programs like the GI Bill, labor protections, federal home loans, and expanded access to college. And when people talk about “fiscal responsibility,” it’s worth remembering: The only modern presidents to move the federal budget into sustained surplus were Democrats. [1][2] A lot of what Americans now consider “normal civilization” came from policies Republicans originally fought, mocked, or called socialism. People inherited the benefits so completely they forgot who built them.

@evilduck92 Understood. I still don't know why there even needs to be time zones. Just use UTC. That makes the most sense, then worldwide everyone is on the same time.
English
I am against all daylight savings time. Whole heartedly.
I love how they're fine with crushing taxes, poorly regulated healthcare. That's not important. But "having an hour of daylight in the evening when we're home" is far more important. Such a loser congress.
Save Standard Time@SaveStandard
🚨 US House Energy/Commerce Committee today amended the Sunshine Protection Act into the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act. If approved by Congress, it would mandate permanent Daylight Saving Time in all states that don’t self-exempt in advance, with no option for exemption after taking effect. 🧐 Permanent DST is a mandate to start work/school an hour earlier than Standard Time in unnatural darkness all winter. It would put sunrise in most states past 8am for 3+ months, and past 8:45am for 1+ weeks. It chronically deprives sleep, decreases productivity (by 5%), and increases illnesses and accidents (by 20%). It was last implemented in the US in 1974 and repealed the same year following deaths and disruptions to commerce. 👉 Tell your US House reps asap to amend MVMA (H.R.7389) to remove SPA (H.R.139) or to reword for nationwide restoration of permanent Standard Time with a clearer option for the minority of states to choose unhealthy/unsafe permanent DST by advancement of their own time zones if so strongly desired (though why DST proponents don’t simply start their own days an hour early remains boggling).

Let me put it to you this way, if Kamala were president and all she did was sit in the Oval Office, drink wine and watch reruns of The View, our country would be ten times better off than it is right now.
Katie Miller@KatieMiller
Thank god she’s not our President.

@evilduck92 It's not. 90% of "government issues" aren't really government issues though.
