  • Congressional maps have always been redrawn by the party in power to ensure that they remain in power. I would expect Democrats to be doing the same thing if we were talking about California.

    Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

  • Actual Budget is an open-source envelope-style budgeting tool similar to YNAB. It has a self-hostable syncing service so that you can manage your budget across multiple devices.

    The reason you might want to do this is that it's probably easier to do full account review sitting at your computer, but you might want to track expenses/receipts on your smartphone while you're away from home.

  • On May 22, 2010, now known as “Bitcoin Pizza Day,” Laszlo Hanyecz, the Florida man, agreed to pay 10,000 bitcoins for the delivery of two Papa John’s pizzas.

    [...]

    Nine months after the purchase, Bitcoin reached parity with the U.S. dollar, making the two pizzas worth $10,000. In 2015, the fifth anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day, the two pizzas were valued at $2.4 million. On May 22, 2024, Bitcoin was at just over $69,181 making the pizzas worth…you get the point.

  • Yes, it is part of the problem... the symptom part.

    You're saying, "There's a monster that's killing people." I'm saying, "Yes, but you're pointing at its foot. We need to aim for the head."

    You'll never get rid of the problem by trying to address capitalism in isolation. Even if you were successful, the problem would simply return under a new label.

  • Capitalism is not a cause, it is an effect. It is not the disease, it is a symptom.

    The root problem is selfishness. Capitalism is like a Plato's cave shadow of selfishness - a projection of selfishness onto politics and economic policy.

  • There is no paradox.

    Tolerance is a social contract.

    If you abide by the terms of the contract (e.g. tolerance) then the contract applies to you and you are protected by it.

    If you do not abide by the terms of the contract then it is broken, and you are not protected by the contract.
