Some days at work...😡 So you have a building with 30 interior doors. The doorway rough opening can be anywhere between 84 1/2" and 86" high. HOW DO YOU AS A FRAMING CARPENTER GO 2 FOR 30 AT GETTING THEM WITHIN AN INCH AND A HALF, AND THE OTHER 28 I HAVE TO EITHER ADD FRAMING OR CUT THE HEADER OUT??? How do you not even make them all the same, get some too low and some too high? How do you keep doing that poor quality work and still have a job??? All I know is more people should get into framing carpentry, because you can be the world's worst wood butcher, still get paid big money, and the dumb finish carpenter will keep polishing your turds every time 🤣😡🤷🏼‍♂️ Literally this is the stuff I have to deal with every day 🙄

FREE ⚡SAT⚡ GIVEAWAY, PLEASE SHARE! I recently started a Substack newsletter and I've been brainstorming ways to bootstrap my subscriber list. I don't use social media outside of Nostr, and I'd like to keep it that way. I have a theory that Nostr+zaps could open up a different type of "advertising" model. Typically with paid ads, you're paying the centralized social media company to show your content to a bunch of people in hopes that they'll view it. Why not pay the viewers directly and cut out the middleman? That way they're getting some value regardless whether they like your product or not, and it's just a more elegant system overall. So I'm going to run an experiment myself and see how this works. I recently wrote an article about Bitcoin and money inspired by a comment @Odell made on a recent Citadel Dispatch episode. If you're interested in the philosophy of money and banking, you might enjoy it. I'm going to link the article below. It's about a 20 minute read. So the first 10 people who read the article and leave a thoughtful response, commentary, or criticism as a reply to this note will get zapped 15,000 sats each. I think that's fair for 20 minutes of your time. After the first ten replies, I'll zap each additional reader 1,500 sats as long as my funds hold out. And if you find the content valuable enough that you feel you don't need the sats, just zap it back to me and I'll pass it along to the next person. Thanks in advance!

Money As Equity

We use debt as money, but is that really the best system?...

Future generations will look back on Western civilization sacrificing itself on the altar of the climate scam the same way we look back on the Aztecs sacrificing people to Tlaloc to make rain come. Pointless and tragic death and destruction in an idiotic attempt to change the weather.

The "money" we use today is mostly debt, created by banks. There are a lot of problems with that system. I think money can and should function more like equity, or ownership. I also think Bitcoin can and is functioning this way. Some of my thoughts on debt money versus equity money are in the article below.

I've had zero social media outside Telegram meme channels and using TikTok for a business venture, an experience I despised to my core. Started a Substack recently and decided there's no choice but to bite the bullet and sign up for Elon's X in order to have a shot at getting enough readers to make it worthwhile. My experience signing up... -download X -requests phone number, select "use email instead", nice 😏 -answer a few more questions, requests phone number again. now impossible to click past -enter burner phone number -"unable to register account with this number, please try again" -grit teeth, cringe, enter personal cell number I've had for 15 years -"unable to register account with this number, please try again" -😡😡😡 -delete app Don't know if it's possible to grow an audience exclusively on decentralized platforms, but that's where I'm at. A pox on centralized social media, and on the executives who make using it a living hell. Nostr only for me, I'll give it a fair shot before passing judgement.

very much this #memes

Taxes, banking, QE, pensions, entitlements, welfare, fiscal policies, money, and the financial/political system in general are deliberately made complex and opaque in democratic countries. That's because they're all just a brazen, corrupt scheme to bribe voters with their own money, keeping the parasite class permanently entrenched and permanently sucking the lifeblood out of the economy for their own benefit.

"money" "It's like money in the bank." Money in the bank is nothing like money in your wallet. If you don't understand the difference, you won't understand the economy. Banks create the "money" in your account out of thin air. Here's how it works and why you should care.

The Big (Bank) Lie

Banking is rotten to the core.

I wonder if the "diversity" types ever think about what winning would look like. If the whole globe is completely "diverse", doesn't that make the whole globe completely homogeneous? I think the people seeding the idea know that, and they really don't want diversity the way the word is commonly understood. They want everything to be uniform, homogeneous urban monoculture. For one thing, it makes totalitarian collectivism easier to implement. Just herds of brain-dead NPCs, parroting the same talking points from the same propaganda outlets, unquestioningly obeying for "the common good", always ready to agitate for the cause du jour, totally dependent on the social structure and unable to survive any disruption of the status quo. They're also moral relativists, so they're desperate to eliminate the possibility of different cultures in different places. Easy observation of the fact that some cultural patterns have good results and some have bad results undermines their belief system. Can't have the peasants seeing greener grass next door, like how simple it is to dramatically reduce crime in El Salvador, and demanding those policies in their neighborhood.
