Impotent or idempotent ?

The thing I wanna know is how many israeli’s are doing the Anne Frank thing with palestinian families. You know: hiding them in the basement and feeding them.

The 2014 invasion? Nah bro, nobody missed that over there.

Wrong. Look at Ukrain’s Zelenski : TV show comedian. Now the stature of Churchill.

Ok you’re Virgil !

The US is a financial sovereign. It has the monopoly over its currency: You don’t need the rich ! Govments within a financial sovereign can decide/agree in congress to pay for things they want with the only limit being that the thing/service is available in that currency. It’s called MMT, as american as apple pie, and no MMT is not communist.

Why do the rich hate MMT? Because they get paid risk free interest by offering the guvment their money.

None of you come in my shop.

On federal level the deficit is actually the sum of wealth the US gov injects/ed into its economy. There is no such thing as ‘my taxdollar’ on fed level. The gov proposes policy, congress ok’s it and FedRes pays the bills. Through creation of new money from the 12 magic computers Elon discovered during his doge tenure.

Not so on state level: states have no monopoly over a currency and have to hold up their own pants or go bankrupt. ‘My taxdollar’ absolutely applies on state level.

Read ‘Temples, tithes and taxes’ by religious scholar Marty Stevens. Impressive scientific book on intersection of religion & economics.

Temples were also banks / fiscal offices in those days. The conflict is imagined, unless maybe early class analysis.

Basilicum makes wood, obviously.

You’re missing the point. There’s 2 kinds of economic schools: Tax first, then spend it. And the other school that says 'decide democratically what you want to do, then do it by buying goods/services in your own currency. When the invoice arrives instruct the central bank to pay for it. Why do you still need taxation ? To force the locals to accept your currency for them to pay your tax. That also a big part if how money gets created in the first place. And the recognition that ‘the state’ is a source of wealth instead of the tax satan between buyers and sellers. I love the EU. But we need that democracy and government that issues policy and injects wealth. China and US understand their fiscal power. But we’re stuck with stupid Dutch and Germans who don’t understand what Nixon really did.

Although I’d welcome the idea, there is an important caveat : Canada is a financial sovereign now but would have to give that up. All countries in euroland use a foreign currency called “the euro”. We have a central bank but no central government. Members are expected to finance themselves on the private market. Where as today Canadian government can buy any local goods and services it wants as long as they’re priced in canadian dollars. EU is great but needs to fix its design faults before we can expand again

Where I live we have square kilometers of american GI’s that liberated europe. As a first in human history victors did not loot or rape. Instead they scrambled to be home by christmas. Europe is forever indebted to these men and the people that led them.

Your browser is the trojan here. Install the plugin ‘Port Authority’. Then browse to ebay or IMDB for a demo.

The long term strategy is to run a proxmox host as your Layer3 platform and install a virtual owrt instance there. Then you are relieved of the HW drama that surrounds owrt. Obviously a second proxmox host is needed for your backend servers, I’m not advocating for a singular VM platform. Once you virtualized your router, you can comfortably experiment with pf,opn,fire,vya …platforms.

Oh and skip Mikrotik, those people are so in love with their routerOs they fail to see its going to be their headstone … bigger than John Holmes’.

Debian user here. All people have a doorkey. Some people have an alarm system as well. Infosec is about ’ what do you have and what do you know '. So in principle TPM is a defencible argument. You should absolutely bail from MS products for different reasons. Like privacy. Your PC isn’t yours anymore. Your NPU will reduce THEIR costs. Etc.

Don’t enter Linux thinking its a drop in replacement. Go slow and do ‘ships in the night’. Move data over to the new ship. Start embracing OSS on windows, it’ll be familiar when you finally bail. G luck.

When a man balds at a young age, we say ‘they were still shaving his mom when he was born’

Pretty brutal, eh ?
