@EvaVlaar Europe has been predominantly white for most of its history. It has done quite well during that time. Now bureaucrats have decided whites should be a minority in Europe (moreso at a global scale). Coincidentally, everything is deteriorating for everyone, everywhere, since then.

“Whereas 40 weeks of the typical male worker’s income in 1985 could provide the middle-class essentials for a family of four, by 2022 he needed 62 weeks of income—a problem, there being only 52 weeks in a year.” americancompass.org/rebuilding-ame…

Meta-thread: Over the years I may be learning to use Twitter. Recently I've started to make threads, although not posting all tweets at the same time. I recommend you link/chain yours too, if you want to find them later For me, first the pinned tweets: x.com/trylks/status/…

Here’s how insane things have gotten in Norway: The Socialist Party has a “wall of shame” in their office with “rich people who have left Norway” - due to the outrageous taxes they’re now being charged. Who do you find on that wall? Startup founders like @hagaetc - who was forced to leave the country because he was paying ALL of his income (!!) in taxes. When the Soviet Union is becoming the role model of your country, time to GTFO.

I'm finally coming around. #Bitcoin fixes Social Security. I've got the plan: The Social Security Trust Fund now owns about $2.7 trillion in Treasuries. It should sell all of those Treasuries and buy Bitcoin. This buying will surely send Bitcoin to the moon, especially since a new QE program will be required to buy all the Treasuries sold by the trust fund. Assuming the Social Security Trust Fund manages to buy 25% of all Bitcoin, and that by the time it buys its last satoshi, Bitcoin is at $20 million, the Social Security Trust Fund will be worth over $100 trillion. The unfunded liability of Social Security is now estimated at just $23 trillion over the next 75 years. The Trust Fund will have such a large surplus that there will be no more talk of tax increases or raising the retirement age. Everyone wins. The Trust Fund could then use all the Social Security payroll taxes it collects to buy more Bitcoin, supporting the price of Bitcoin and maintaining the value of its only asset. There’s just one small wrinkle. With all Social Security tax revenue being used to buy Bitcoin, how will the government pay its benefits? It's not like the Trust Fund could sell Bitcoin to cover those payments, as it would crash the market. So, like all true Bitcoiners, it must HODL. Fortunately, there is a workable solution. The government declares Bitcoin a reserve asset, then deposits its Bitcoin as collateral at the Federal Reserve, which provides the cash needed to pay Social Security benefits. This arrangement is better for the government than the Fed holding Treasuries, as it doesn’t have to pay interest on Bitcoin, nor is there principal to repay. The Fed can simply HODL Bitcoin on its balance sheet indefinitely—the ultimate diamond hands. After Bitcoin fixes Social Security, the government can move on to fixing everything else with Bitcoin. It's too bad it took Satoshi so long to come up with this cure-all.
