Regardless of one's stance on the issue, I don't think it's a good idea to trust my node, vote and money to a hypercentralized software project like Knots. There's 1 person who makes every single decision and just a single pair of eyeballs looking at code before pushing commits directly to main. There's currently a diff of >4000 commits between Core and Knots, that's a big question mark on software security. I don't think anyone who's really serious about software security will run Knots in production tbh

Seems Bessent is not up to date though. China already started slashing permits for new coal plants early last year (by >80%) and the amount of fossil plants they build is now tiny compared to renewables
China added more renewable capacity in 2024 alone than the US has built in it's entire history. The direction China is going is very clear, and it's not fossil

One obvious question would have been why he scams people out of their hard earned money with his shitcoining.

You use a lot of words, but never show any data to back it up and try to distract as soon as you're called out.
There's GDP data for 4 years under Trump and 4 years under Biden/Harris. Can you explain how those numbers underpin your statement that it's obvious that Trump will grow GDP more than Harris, either "real" or nominal?
Btw, GDP is still a bullshit measure

2024-10-28 21:20:58

- reply

The facts disagree with your assumptions though. Does this bother you at all?
Under Trump GDP increased from 18.8 to 21.3 trillion USD. Under Biden it increased to an estimated 29 trillion USD in 2024, more than double Trump's growth rate. If you'd walk your talk you'd vote Harris 😂.
For the record: GDP measured in a money you can just print is the dumbest measure in human history.
And finally: Trump already ran massive deficits before COVID because of his trillion dollar tax cuts for the rich. During COVID, he again choose to stimulate demand rather than supply with his stimulus cheques. Both were big contributing factors to later inflation

Trump holds 2nd place for *increasing* the debt to GDP ratio in recent history (25% in a single year 🤯). Only Bush in 2001 did worse.

Sure, just show me your data source that says global average temperature was hotter after the Renaissance than today.
The main drivers of the "little ice age" were decreased solar activity and increased volcanic activity (aerosols). These factors cannot explain the current warming we observe.
The stratospheric cooling that is observed, confirms that CO2 is the primary driver of change in the last decades. The physics behind this are well established and 170 years old by now (Tyndall, Foote). The first accurate predictions of radiative forcing are 120 years old (Arrhenius). Feel free to disprove it but I'd suggest you educate yourself first
