You missed my point. Landlords will set a fairer price in BTC than in dollars. You're still fixing prices in dollars in your head, which is the whole problem. Savers will know better & compensate.

Discount goods based on your preferred payment & let time do the rest. If something costs $100, accept $90 worth of BTC. Eventually, you'll have > $100 of purchasing power from that transaction, plus a loyal customer.

If I have to indulge your illogical equivalences, then yes, because the US hasn't done much more net positive for humanity domestically or abroad since before WW1.
The best parts of the Industrial Revolution far outshine the worst in the history of the human race. Exploitation? Even low paid workers were paid in real gold-backed money back then; today, most folks work for _monopoly credit points_. We are much closer to "slavery" today than in those decades before WW1.

2024-11-09 09:41:45

Problem is if I see a note on my feed from AccountA, I want to boost it from AccountB, but not follow that profile.

"...Unburdened by what has been"
The Internet Archive
The establishments inability to mea culpa (or better yet, avoid embarassment in the first place) has accumulated a critical mass of past mistakes. They'll take any opportunity to erase that past at this point.
Erasing the past imposes a cost in physics; the physical default is for the past to feed into the present for free. They don't think that cost applies in their online virtual bubble, or at best they underestimate it. It's one of a few major fallacies they professionally practice to the detriment of a thriving civilization.
I hope the internet archive finds a way to persist!

We need to stop using the word "savings" when we really mean "money we lend to bankers for interest."
We need to stop using the word "wages" or "paycheck" when we really mean "monopoly credits I tell my employer to lend straight to a bank for interest"
Having a 3rd party outside of your relationship to your employer/customers take all your income is fucking insane, but everyone does it because no one was taught how money works or what it is.
Anyway we see a similar dynamic with streaming subscription services too. Seasons of TV shows got shorter, which cuts production costs, but thanks to the sub model, they also air in multiple split up parts over a year, which boosts subscription revenue. The result is higher profits for netflix et al, but also (generally) shittier shows.

Disagree. They don't synergize; they compete. Caffeine alone is more euphoric without nicotine, and nicotine alone is less euphoric than caffeine alone. Both have side effects. Using both together is suboptimal to me. Usually means I'm already using too much of one of them.
