Haha preach

Does policy not largely define the "geometric distance" between candidates?

I know Steve!

I'm speaking from within a fictional situation that was presented. If I were someone else would I fire someone...the answer is probably. My principled take as myself, I wouldn't for the reasons I've been talking about throughout this thread. Everyone has different reasons for what they do. OP put their opinion and I put mine. I don't know what else to say...

Agreed, presidents can apply pressure but the Fed is technically independent. That probably wasn't fair of me to link Biden to the Fed, sorry. Dems are quick to attribute this gain to the Biden administration. I've heard broad statements about how Biden is good for the economy, but they don't really go into specifics. I'm curious what they're specifically saying he's done to boost the economy to the point that it invalidates Fed interest/employment/inflation models.

What specifically is he doing that is creating jobs? As of February new jobs are being driven by healthcare jobs. There are several other types of work before you get to construction, which could plausably be linked to infrastructure spending. And again, that's held to against the interest rate hikes that are designed to lower inflation by increasing unemployment, or the more appropriate euphomism of softening the labor market.

Oh wow, I like this. Good insight.

The shadowbroker knows all.

I was surprised by TVP when we started cutting out meat. It looks disgusting when dried and the name textured vegetable protein couldn't possibly be less sexy. Contrary to what I thought, it does a great job of soaking up flavors of what it's cooked in, and the texture is probably second to real meat.

A measured response...

Hahahaha, lost me here. I'll definitely take your point about California and how they're going about universal healthcare to heart, but if you put hope in the Democrats, you will be disappointed. Fuck...the Democratic party. They would be nothing without the anti Republican vote.

Yeah that's true about losing access to your shit for sure. There are options like multisignature accounts that could reduce the possibility of theft, but really the danger in crypto is shooting yourself in the face and losing your keys. Theft comes from bad software around the crypto like browser extensions and shit like that, the blockchain itself though makes theft numerically impossible on timescales like the existance of the universe. But your point stands that it isn't user friendly, which isn't new to emerging technology.

On a personal note, I very much like the model of self custody of assets, and this is coming from someone who almost fucked up and lost their keys. Loss of assets is a possibility and should be in the mind of users, but the tradeoff here is that you always have access to your funds and control over them.

Another commenter stated that crypto is solution in search of a problem, and I don't think that's not necessarily wrong. I see that as optimistic because it's still a solution. It potentially broadens the space of possibilities from our sole option of centralized control by existing wealth/power structures.
