I get that, but some would argue that the causality is reversed. That is, people turn to financial nihilism because actually saving for a home, education, and being able to pay for your own healthcare seems out of reach
All medals are weighted equally unless there’s a tie breaker? What kind of communism nonsense is that?
I agree, but the lack of sympathy comes from seeing regular people splashing money around like it ain't no thang.
The new boost feature is pretty slick.
I think it’s a great way to ensure some increased visibility at a very reasonable cost.
A huge factor in this is energy- coal, oil, electricity.
These modern energy sources have enabled most of the reduction in toil and increase in material productivity.
But coal and oil have resulted in altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere and that is changing the climate.
That is now beginning to have significant effects on the economy- on farming, real estate and infrastructure.
Today USA is losing its lead in the global wealth and power balance- and China has already won the trade war and cut off supply of vital rare earths to the US military industrial complex.
The petrodollar is dying.
A contest is developing for global hegemony and any measure of wealth and purchasing power needs to factor in such global power changes.
The oil fueled US empire is in decline and China with its modern electricity based industrial and developing post industrial competitive advantage is emerging as the primary economy on the planet.
We organise into groups- nation states operating under different and competing models and philosophies- Chinas mercantile, autocratic, state capitalism hybrid vigour model is proving more productive and competitive than the USA and its decadent fiat debt leveraged speculative and imperialist militaristic crony capitalism.
I think the affordability crisis is primarily referring to three markets specifically: health, education, and housing.
It would be easy to construct efficiency arguments (and they'd probably even be true), but they're at odds with the idea of an affordability crisis.
I kind of wish there was a way to access these kind of restaurants that wasn't delivery. I'd be curious to be able to show up to the counter of some cloud kitchen and have like five different restaurants to choose from...I guess this is what they call a food truck park...
Never done this but it looks like an awesome effort for anyone with a BitAxe.
For those who just want to rent some hashpower, where does the money go? I’d assume it goes to the miners looking for a block so they get paid even if the party doesn’t find a block, right?
I suppose one explanation I forgot to include is efficiency: it is possible that there are many people for whom food delivery makes sense but it wasn't a solvable problem until internet, smart phones and doordash.
Australia is well known for their winter sport prowess. You got the potential 1 and 2 medal getters though.
