Been listening to a colleague tell me about the new house he’s moving into in the new year, nice, well done buddy, but Do I tell him about the governments debt black hole that is looming on the horizon, that while he will blame me, my dad and my brother for “your type leading to the mini budget fiasco”, it is actually the drip drip of ever increasing debt, ever increasing 10y yields that while he may be able to get an “affordable” mortgage in the short term, the life of affordability, even for the most optimistic will get nowhere near the end of his debt. But he’s just glad the Labour budget means his third kid gets some benefits………. Only one question for him, who is paying for that “free money”, yeah, me, my brother and my dad, but ultimately him, with his higher mortgage repayments!!! 😳 Picture of Dan tubb, warning of bond traders just saying no and my colleague getting fully screws.

First mince pies of the year, pastry too thin, chose the deep tray, so some not quite right, but covered them with some icing sugar to distract people from their faults, assistant did a great job!!! #cookstr

Just putting this out there, truly epic tunes.

Love a night when the fam get a take out (that I go a pick up) and I’m left for a pleasant #steakstr dinner. Wash down with a rather punchy trad ale. 🫡🙌

The ability to see a problem and try and work out how to fix it, compared to just telling someone something doesn’t work, must be somewhere close to a superpower, compare to a pessimistic, defeatist outlook on the world. Happy bitcoiners notice a problem with the money, and found a solution. Lefties notice a problem with the money and blame the rich, suggesting a solution that will just make them rich richer. They appear not to grasp the implications or have sufficient critical thinking abilities to realise what they are suggesting. No solutions, only scapegoats!!

My own personal #zapmas is continuing (2/5 complete), @Stackchain ⛓ Magazine piece covering the role of #bitcoin to provide the integrity to just say no to the pressures from the outside, perfectly encapsulated by @Ben Justman🍷 who has been developing his craft over the past few years. Your wine is held in higher regard than the ridiculous bottle of Louis Roderer I’ve picked up for Dug Snr. If you sell out and lose integrity, it will be very difficult/impossible to buy it back. @M A D E X #bitcoin allows you to say no to that person who believes they have power over you (if they have power, they likely want more power, and will stand on you to get what they want; is there a Star Wars reference I can put in there?!?!?)

Gm nostriches, quite moments on a Saturday morning, #catstr and #coffeechain in bed, listening to girls at the other end of the house, chatting away, excited about the day and Christmassy stuff, which I think is kinda cool. Time to open the Keynes book, must.finish.this…..
