Will We Witness a Fed Chair Who Believes in Gold? | The Libertarian Institute
https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/will-we-witness-a-fed-chair-who-believes-in-gold/?mc_cid=5af318fd19
Joseph Solis-Mullen reviews Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money.
"However, I would be remiss in recommending the book if I did not at the same time point out where she falls short. For example, Shelton is far too open to the federal government getting involved in digital currencies and too scared of the fake China threat. She writes, “So much is at stake if the dollar becomes vulnerable to displacement as the world’s reserve currency.” She never explains those stakes but worries about creeping Chinese and Russian gains at the margins of the global financial economy."

I totally agree (except the chemtrails part, I'm agnostic on that).
The prevailing narrative is about as wrong as wrong can be and the people pushing it are unrepentant hypocrites, but that doesn't mean we have no impact on our climate.
Another point on that is that downwind from windfarms is observably warmer than it would otherwise be, because the windmills dissipate some of the cooling effect wind naturally provides.

I don't think our CO2 contributes much to climate change directly, but other human activities have noticeable effects: con-trails reduce temperature by reflecting more sunlight, urban development increases local temperatures, cloud seeding increases precipitation, etc.
The greening from CO2 will also impact local climates in various ways.

From Stossel
Video Description
> Pollution, homophobia, racism, hate; activists claim everything is getting worse.
The opposite is true. But if they admit that how would they raise money?
> “For activists, success is a threat,” journalist John Tierney explains. “It is going to put you out of business unless you find a new cause.”
> Tierney has covered activists for years and watched them move from one cause to another.
> “But it’s not a business,” I push back. “They're not making money doing this.”
> “Oh, yes, they are,” replies Tierney.
> Lots!
> Our new video looks at how these activist groups raise billions of dollars, the consequences of their activism, and why we fall for their scares.

I was excited when the new Blade project was announced, but now that the MCU has run out of steam, I'm fine with Snipes being the definitive cinematic Blade.
Is it better to scrap the reboot and perhaps just make another movie with Snipes playing an older Blade?

Joe Biden Is Responsible for Burning Lebanon | The Libertarian Institute
https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/joe-biden-is-responsible-for-burning-lebanon/?mc_cid=aeb1f7aba3
Daniel Larison on Biden’s role in the war breaking out in Lebanon.
“The Israeli government assumes that the U.S. won’t withhold weapons, diplomatic support, or military protection under any circumstances, and that has encouraged Netanyahu to pursue increasingly aggressive goals. Because the U.S. shields Israel from military reprisals, as it did earlier this year during Iran’s missile and drone strikes, it has given Netanyahu free rein to lash out whenever and wherever he wants. The administration has dressed all of this up as preventing a wider regional war, but the reality is that they have simply delayed the conflagration while making it more likely that it will be even more destructive when it occurs.”

The Rise Of Junk Food in America
https://odysee.com/@DrBerg:4/the-rise-of-junk-food-in-america:b?r=8T2xqWjtafHWYGxQBSsrbw1wQPm7sWRq
From Dr. Eric Berg
Video Description
> Processed and refined foods have certain components like fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and water removed. “Ultra-processed” means these foods have been processed in a major or severe way.
> Dent corn, for example, undergoes several processes to become food. It is ground, pressurized, and treated with high heat and chemical solvents. It is then decolorized, deodorized, and combined with artificial flavoring, coloring, fillers, preservatives, and flavor enhancers.
> Food can be defined as “that which is eaten to sustain life, provide energy, and promote the growth and repair of tissues.” Ultra-processed foods do not meet this criteria!
> Ultra-processed foods contain three main ingredients: sugar, starches, and seed oils. Check the ingredient list and avoid these foods!
1. Sugar
The sugar in processed foods is often highly altered. Synthetic sugar such as glucose syrup, corn syrup, and dextrose is most often utilized.
2. Starches
Starches are highly processed, synthetic chains of sugar. They aren’t the same as starches found in vegetables. Avoid synthetic starch, like modified cornstarch and maltodextrin.
3. Seed oil
Seed oils such as corn, soy, canola, and cottonseed, are highly processed, refined, and treated with chemical solvents.
> Ultra-processed foods are devoid of vitamins and minerals, which are essential in digesting and using calories. When you eat foods without vitamins and minerals, your body has to pull from its reserves.
> Ultra-processed foods are terrible fuel for your body. Ketones are an alternative fuel source that allows you to tap into your body fat for fuel between meals.
> Pills are often prescribed for blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar rather than addressing the diet that’s causing the problem in the first place.

It's hard to understand when you focus on all the dumb stuff the US government does. It's a little easier when you also look at how dumb all the other governments are.

Where Will All the Money Go? | Mark Thornton
https://odysee.com/@mises:1/where-will-all-the-money-go-mark:0?r=8T2xqWjtafHWYGxQBSsrbw1wQPm7sWRq
From Mises Media
Episode Descripition
> The Federal Reserve seems to have finally publicly committed to its rate-cutting cycle—specifically the federal funds rate or policy rate. The Fed wanted to remain perceived as coming to the economy's rescue, rather than goosing the stock market higher. But the Federal Reserve is playing a confidence game with the general public, and the Fed can't save you. What insights can we learn from Austrian Business Cycle Theory?

I don't know if you had seen the many Austrian criticisms of Bitcoin, specifically because they didn't understand how it met the Regression Theorem.
Bob had a great episode explaining why those arguments were silly.
Thanks for letting me know about zaps not working. I have no idea why they weren't, but my first zap to your comment failed, too.

Funny you should say that. I know people who work for the government who have been prohibited from using their personal phones for work, but they haven't been provided work phones.

It might have been driven by regulations. That's why Stacker News is moving away from its custodial wallet. I also miss the ease of use that these services provided.

By Frank Shostak
> Progressive and even many mainstream economists believe that cash is a relic from the past and should be replaced with digital money. There are many good reasons why not to follow this course, and no good reasons to replace cash.

I'm surprised it's taken this long. Withholding information from patients is such a clear violation of informed consent that there's no way it's covered by manufacturer liability immunity.
