The US federal government currently spends roughly one‑third more than it collects in taxes, running annual deficits on the order of 30–40% of revenues. In the last few years, interest payments on the federal debt have surged and are now rivaling, and at times exceeding, defense spending as one of the largest line items in the budget, displacing defense from its long‑standing position as the dominant major expense since the Cold War era.

It's a weird flex when folks here put BIP110 up in their profiles as if anyone gives a fuck. :Sigma:

Instead of creating centralized aka "trust-minimized" platforms for payments, we should strive to educate the younger generation to host own self-sovereign infra and build stuff that make running it as easy as two clicks.

@Umbrel ☂️ is doing the latter pretty well. If one is buying a new iPhone every few years for $1k, it should not pose a problem to buy a NUC for this that lasts for 5+ years.

It's always the Westerners that bring fucked up shit. Why? Cause they are subjugated by the evil scum that rule over them since England beheaded Charles I and imported puppet King from the Dutch. Charles was against usury, which limited the evil plots of the financiers. The root of this is centralized verticals that proper evil through finance, treachery and violence.

This is the way. :theway:

A politician is only second to a prostitute as an oldest profession.
