Hanlon’s Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. That is the exact thing a malicious person would want me to think.

“Coercion is evil precisely because it thus eliminates an individual as a thinking and valuing person,” Friedrich Hayek wrote in The Constitution of Liberty, “and makes him a bare tool in the achievement of the ends of another.”

It’s becoming clear that the Fed, government and Wall Street is doing everything they can to drive a K shaped economy.

The Gold Standard Act of 1900 fixed the U.S. dollar as consisting of 25.8 grains (about 1.672 grams) of gold that is nine-tenths fine (90% pure gold). If this definition held today, a dollar would be valued at $249.68. Then we got the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913. End the Fed.

Can I get a dozen hot wings, extra blue cheese, a Coors heavy, a full disclosure of the Epstein files and a side of what the fuck happened to Charlie Kirk?
