"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." —T. S. ELiot

Why are folks crying about “free speech” when that speech is posted on/in private channels/platforms? When you come in my home and start espousing all types of things I don’t agree with and is contrary to the way I raise my children, I will respectfully ask you to leave my home. If you keep talking and I throw you out my house that’s not called censorship. Why do folks believe they are entitled to say/post anything they want on YouTube, Twitter, Meta, Facebook, Instagram, and not be kicked off or restricted? You do not own the company.

@bailey “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” ‭‭ Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭ NIV‬‬

If you understand Bitcoin and the concepts of freedom it can underpin, any policy, law or agenda that restricts freedom becomes easily identifiable. Be careful who and what you support. #DontTrustVerify

Sobriety is not the disconnect from addiction, it is a reconnection of meaningful relationships and bonds with those you care for and those who care for you.

“The FHA’s involvement was so pervasive that full-time government inspectors were stationed at the construction sites where Levittown and similar projects were being built.

It’s important to note that as of 2020, the Federal Reserve (the Central Bank of the USA) reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent in order to stimulate the economy. Please share what you know will be the aftermath of this action.

There are virtually endless human wants…but there is only limited resources and time. Human behavior is the reflection of this reality.

There are no solutions, only trade-offs. When looking at the world through a lens that identifies resources in terms of their scarcity you’re forced to consider the following: Scarcity forces us to weigh the pros and cons of how we use our resources and make trade-offs. The scarcity of a particular resource will determine one’s behavior when interacting with that resource.

Money itself doesn’t have the power to satisfy human wants; it’s just a tool that allows us to trade one commodity for another.
