Because when considering the problems in Minnesota, I think "the real problem here is that the people in this state order too much wine"

😳

People will clamor for new laws allowing more oversight but what we need is just fewer subsidies

Yes! I got it this year and have now played it a few times with young family members Good memory and strategy game, and great for understanding various aspects of bitcoin.

Random thoughts: Another vote for compost toilets. Not having to locate/plan septic gives a lot of freedom. We've used only compost toilets for several years now and I wouldn't go back. There's something particularly beautiful about houses clustered relatively close but then open land radiating out from that cluster. I think that there are probably a lot of examples of this throughout history. Makes social connections and defense easier. Unless you have a culturally homogenous group, it can be very difficult to agree on aesthetics and building plans! I would spend a lot of time looking at how human groups have created their spaces historically. A Pattern Language is a terrific book. Well worth a read as you continue your planning. Love this energy 💕

A while ago I heard someone say that we created muffins so that we wouldn't have to admit to eating cake for breakfast 😂

ummm and grieving aside, this is kind of bizarre, isn't it? I don't know much about TPUSA but is this on brand? (Or are they thinking that they can finally get the kids to swallow Zionism if it comes with a dose of Nicki Minaj?)

Nice! enjoy 😊

it's never made any sense to me that we can't just trust our thirst. I guess that instinct can be corrupted (as hunger often is by bad food) but the idea that humans absolutely must drink a set amount of water today seems like bs to me. I probably drink 3 or 4 glasses/day for most of the year. That includes morning tea. Way more in the summer and I'm outside a lot. Also I find I'm much thirstier when I'm eating carbs than not 🤷‍♀️

Yes, sounds about right. Not what you asked, but FWIW I think you're off base on your Candace Owens takes, and it's coloring your interpretation of recent Fuentes comments. But it's been cool to see the direction of your show in general, and I love your growing appreciation for libertarianism and the Austrian economists!

well, we would have failed

yes, incentive structure is decided by the receiving entity, or at least some of the players within in not sure what you mean by "excluding illegals of course"

reasons might be the same but the incentive structure is very different

oh, I'm sorry to see you go! I love seeing your posts. But living fully offline sounds good, and it's a wonderful way to start a family. 💕

America was built on a very different kind of immigration I wish there weren't so much focus on skin color or ethnicity, which ends up being bait for nearly everyone. That's not the issue. It's the govt and NGO subsidies for the recent waves of immigration change the equation completely.

AU govt to all those who think Bondi was a false flag: we can help you make your argument

not the point, but what is that thing on her head?! a pigtail wig + cigarette + her voice and face is quite a combination

so beautiful! that third one in particular is really lovely

😳 (GM, Odell!)

Yes, exactly. It's very hard for most people to grasp. They just think that beef is "getting expensive." You've read Fiat Food? I have some complaints about that book, but it illustrates so clearly that the 2-5% inflation claimed by the govt only works if people eat less and less real food. Glad you're out there doing the good work! We're growing some of our own meat, so I know enough to be very impressed with folks who are doing it on a larger scale 🫡

Hi! I'm holding weekly sessions with my young niece to explain inflation to her. As much as I thought I already understood about the dangers of money printing, it's been so interesting to go through it with her. Together we look at goods - among them beef and eggs - and compare 1950 prices to 2025 prices. When we price in gold, costs are down quite a bit (even for beef - maybe the effects of cheaper shipping and CAFO?) but then it's bewildering to see the change in dollars. It's becoming clear to her that anything real (like cows that need pasture, grass, care, time) will continue to rise like crazy in dollar terms.
