So what is the deal today? Why the pump?
“Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appear to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, as well as notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.” - buried in the news.
YouTube says #Bitcoin will never recover. What will they say when Bitcoin drops by another 50%?
How will #BitKey deal with hard-Forks? #bitcoin
OMG the Ego and the Tantrums. Seriously ufff.
Now we all know why Kavanaugh (dissenting tariff decision) was defended, nominated and confirmed even with allegations of attempted rape and assault.
Tariffs (not approved by congress) are illegal. All the #bribes paid to get exemptions from tariffs need to be refunded too. 😝
I can’t wait for the fucking fake long nails with sparkle trend to die.

The "Wealth Tax" debate is missing the point. The real issue is collateral. 🧵
Using stock to secure a loan (e.g., Elon buying Twitter) is functionally the same as selling it to buy another asset.
Triggering a tax event on loans >$100M fixes this without the downsides of a wealth tax.
It ensures the wealthy actually contribute to the infrastructure they use.🛣️🚸🧑🏫
Is Nostr Down?
Rich people get away with paying taxes by taking loans against their stock assets as #collateral. This should be considered a tax event otherwise you will never be able to get them to pay taxes **ever** yet benefit from the infrastructure middle class pays to build. This is a far better alternative to #WealthTax which I do not support. Elon buying #Twitter with #Tesla and #SpaceX stock as collateral should have been a tax event because it is no different than selling Shares of one company to buy another ** at that moment**. This tax should only apply to people with $100 #million or more otherwise.
Yes, wealthy people get away with paying taxes. Instead of a #wealthtax which I think is a bad idea, they should define assets used as #collateral to secure loans or purchases as a taxable event. When Elon buys #Twitter with Tesla stock it is nothing but selling #Tesla stock to buy Twitter stock hence a taxable event but without an actual sale. This taxable event should only apply to people with $100 #million assets or more. Shifting tax burden from wealthy to middle class is just transfer of wealth to make rich richer and poor poorer. Yes, this should apply to crypto too.
