Buying votes is always an effective strategy so Trump sending out $2k checks makes a ton of sense politically, but of course will just send inflation up a notch and is horrible economic policy. This is why democracy is just a slow death

Maybe the reason the poor are having more kids than the middle class is because the middle class pays for the children of the poor

Some talk recently about how Gen Z doesn’t seem interested in Bitcoin and how we can get the message out to them. I find it difficult to believe we do this through Bitcoin podcasts. Bitcoin has plenty of great personalities , , , etc. and they’re not getting Gen Z listeners. We’ll likely need a widely popular (for reasons not related to Bitcoin) figure who just happens to be a bitcoiner and speaks about it here and there. We need a Charlie Kirk type who has the ear of Gen Z who can slowly bring them into Bitcoin. It’s the same issue Nostr currently has. If you’re not a bitcoiner Nostr probably sucks. There’s nothing else really discussed here at length and if you’re not curious about bitcoin/money it’s all just boring gibberish. Just another reason I implore Bitcoiners to speak about other topics that interest them and sprinkle in Bitcoin here and there where it fits. Gen Z will get into bitcoin when it’s something their favorite personality endorses not because they decide to put down DraftKings and porn and read Rothbard.

Tack low IQ onto this as well. If you’re too dumb to follow the rules why should you be free to be too dumb to do it again?

Over 10% of the country is on food stamps (and likely a myriad of other free money programs). Turn off the spigot.
