So where are all of the Thomas Massie posts? 🤣🤣🤣 I do think he’s the only politician who actually cares and understands fiscal responsibility

OK finally biden did something good. He granted clemency to Leonard Peltier. Now Trump better pardon Ross.

@Marty Bent @ODELL just listened to RHR. Great episode but one thing people are getting extremely wrong is the California water situation. No one is diverting water to the ocean. Water naturally flows into the ocean. Water has been diverted from the Owen’s valley to LA, watch the movie Chinatown. Water is diverted from the Sacramento San Joaquin delta to LA. This delta has a lot of farmland. If more water is diverted to LA more saltwater comes into the delta which will ruin this farmland. Not to mention those peoples water will not be drinkable. This also has a negative effect on salmon and steelhead. The delta smelt is a smokescreen. Everyone in the SF Bay Area goes out of their way to conserve water while everyone in LA has a pool and green lawns and too many golf courses. This is no different than the fiat system. LA doesn’t care about conserving water since it’s not their water. Not to mention LA will get compensated before the hurricane victims. They always get their way, just like the “too big to fail banks.”
Wow! This has been such a crazy journey. I first heard about Bitcoin on some sales video promoting a trade bot for Bitcoin. Then Van Tharp (RIP) mentioned it in his monthly newsletter. This was either 2014 or 2015. Then I saw a Bitcoin accepted here sign the following year in Telluride. Hmmm… so maybe there’s something to this Bitcoin. Van Tharp then started to write a second newsletter about crypto. Mostly Bitcoin but mentioned other coins that he traded. So I started buying some. Right after the 2017 peak. I bought a little every chance I could. I then sold a 1/4 of a coin when it hit 50k which was more than my cost basis and let the rest run. Then the volatility happened. I stumbled across Andreas, then other Bitcoin podcasts. Breedlove and his series with Saylor, Jeff Booth, Jimmy Song, Max Hillebrand, and Preston Pysh to name a few. Then I discovered other podcasts with Lyn Alden, Lawrence Lepard, James Lavish, Alex Gladstein, who shed their light on the failing monetary system. Then I discovered Bitcoin twitter. Even though I started a twitter account when it first came out I never used it. Then it was Peter McCormack, Marty Bent, Ben and Nico, Knut, Scott Melker, NLW, Walker, and the list goes on. I want to thank you all, and those that I forgot to mention. You gave me hope in the fellowship of mankind. There were some grifters and I was very luck that I didn’t open an FTX account or fall for Mashinsky’s deal. However I could tell that this wasn’t just a bunch of people looking for a get rich quick scheme. This was a community like nothing I had ever seen. Along the way I was always concerned about my daughter’s future, but those concerns are fading. I have hope for her future now thanks to the Bitcoin community.
