Primal, please fix your trending algo that powers this block. Only 3 of the Top 10 are actually recent. I also don't want to hear that people are bumping old posts because I refuse to believe they are interacting with a 1 year old GN post. algos. #nostr #primal

So per CNBC, the ILA turned down a 50% raise and is demanding 61.5% for workers. They already have an average salary of $147k and have had a 77% wage increase over the last 6 years. This is going to be interesting to watch the Democrats mental gymnastics here since they are pro-union but one of Kamala's main talking points has been about price gouging. What happens to prices if they relent? Those higher prices will no doubt cascade down the supply chain to the consumer. A couple more thoughts: 1) If you don't think the companies running those ports aren't leveraging their contacts to see how China has automated large swaths of their ports, you're kidding yourself. 2) If we didn't buy into the globalization is awesome bullshit narrative and had more manufacturing and industry stateside, maybe we wouldn't have to worry so much about the dock workers strike. A potential central point of failure like this, especially when it comes to the delivery of critical goods to your populace, shows years of bad leadership of letting this situation manifest itself. Just another heaping helping of FIAT assclownery. I need more sats.

Was looking for something to help usher in Uptober and came across this picture from the Bellagio's Chinese New Year Exhibit a few years back. The Money Tree is considered a symbol of Feng Shui, wealth and good fortune, and renewable prosperity. Dunno about you, but positive energy, monetary sustenance, and unending prosperity sounds a hell of a lot like Bitcoin to me. #photography #photostr #lasvegas #nevada #bellagio #bitcoin

Who knew a quartz mine in a tiny North Carolina town could cripple the global production of solar panels and semiconductor chips? They have a whopping 2,200 residents there. Wild. The town is home to the purest quartz on the planet, a byproduct of continental formations that occurred more than 380 million years ago. High-purity quartz is essential to making the silicon wafers that get cut into chips. While there are other sources of quartz, the purity many producers demand is only found around the mines of Spruce Pine. "It is rare, unheard of almost, for a single site to control the global supply of a crucial material,” wrote Ed Conway in his 2023 book “Material World.” “Yet if you want to get high-purity quartz — the kind you need to make those crucibles without which you can’t make silicon wafers — it has to come from Spruce Pine. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article293265924.html #semiconductors #solar #technology #quartz #mining

First Three Mile Island and now Palisades in Michigan. Maybe the United States really is starting to get serious about nuclear energy? "The $1.52 billion in financing from the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office, was accompanied by funding for nonprofit electric cooperatives to purchase power from Palisades. Deputy U.S. Energy Secretary Xochitl Torres Small announced more than $1.3 billion in public funding to power cooperatives Wolverine and Hoosier Energy." https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-closes-152-billion-loan-resurrect-michigan-nuclear-plant-2024-09-30 #nuclear #energy #technology #climate

This is the most “Pro Bitcoin” Democrat and he doesn’t get it. He would totally be cool with BitcoinUS though… just don’t pull back the cover and realize it is a CBDC. Hell, even Warren G didn’t want to Regulate as much as Ro, Po, and crew wants to. Mount Up!

#gm #nostr , I've already got another case of the Mondays. Hope your Monday is less stressful. Definitely wouldn't mind one of those adult big wheels they're riding in the video though. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #alternative #altrock
