This is because boomers now consume less, so currency needs to be debased to provide the level of consumption to increase, to match 2% inflation.

The less people consume as demographics age the more repressed the youth will be, as we lock up inelastic goods behind massive debt. It doesn't matter how nominally rich boomers get, if they don't consume our money supply will grow.

People speculate with cheap mortgage debt, nobody is spending their own money.

They could also just as easily be speculating that the currency will inflate and it will debase their debt, as the Fed does QE.

The further you get from the gold standard the worse it gets. Because debt needs to grow to pay past debt, and mortgage debt is what we use to boost GDP.

If Im not mistaken Trump says specifically, "if a country has tariffs on us we put tariffs on them, if they remove tariffs on us we remove tariffs on them".

If project 2025 is to be believed his goal is to get Canada to remove their tariffs, including protectionist policies for things like banks, dairy, and telecoms.

Through that guise is he a free trade purist, and our existing free trade system is an oxymoron?

So do we like Trump now or do we like tech billionaire?

We should all get Signal as well. If you don't have it you'll probably be surprised how many of your contacts do.

Steam games work too now which is good.

You're keeping it entrenched.

That's good. I hate this Windows monopoly that governments help propagate.

Golang is petty slow with a GUI I've found, a web UI works well but GTK or something like that is slow. Maybe that's what he means?

Proton mail has an email and VPN together as a package.

The pen is, mightier than the sword.

I'd prefer a Wiki style software that exports to PDF. Why aren't we all using wiki's, with build in version control and diagramming, like Confluence, Youtrack, etc..?

Using what OS, Microsoft Windows I assume?

Europe broke their own procurement laws to use Microsoft, they have so many own goals they may as well just accept their fate.

Are you familiar with the elders of zion, which was believed by a huge number of people all over the globe, even though it was totally ridiculous. The average person is not smart, though I may be a tad pessimistic I suppose.

Every country suffers from this, America is just the most rich and therefore visible due to geographic benefits and the Bretton Woods system.

Germany was actively shutting down its nuclear power before Russia attacked, China has a giant property bubble that's collapsing, the Eurozone is rushing in a CBDC to prop up its failing currency, Canada is doing mass immigration to hide it's failing business climate. Its the same all over, people love faux economic growth and they love to borrow from the future.

The problem is they have critical mass so developers are forced to target iPhone. Its a natural monopoly.

The US won't care as well since they benefit.

I bet this guy wanted to get to work and if no one was injured went at a crawl to push them out of the way, Musk is likely barely inconvenienced by any of this and would still fire this guy for being late.

When Trump can run an ad about giving sex changes to prisoners, to then place them in a female prison, you realize there needs to be a shift towards what the average person actually wants.

Inclusively is nice, but we instead have a guy dismantling everything.
