Where do these two halves of the population put their guns and lawyers? Is it just like a comfort blanket for them to cuddle? Or is it so the plebs can all just vent on each other?

Guns and lawyers reducing government overreach doesn’t appear to match up with reality in the US.. In some other countries, sure. But the US?..
Guns and lawyers for fighting neighbours sounds about right.. But for fighting the political class or the 1%? Not so much.

Doesn’t seem like anyone’s doing that right now

😂 fkn looks about right

Haha sorry mate, I thought it was clear that I was commenting about how these commercial vessels are usually manned. I don’t personally know the current crew of that specific vessel. So maybe I’m wrong. Maybe that boat is full of Russian spies and international contractors who are paid ‘extremely well’ just like in the hollywood movies.…

Or maybe instead of wasting Russian resources, it’s like most other commercial vessels that work in dicey waters of war zones and piracy. Where companies and governments save their money by using cheap foreign labour for much of the crew. You don’t tell them their true or full job scope until they’re onboard, or ever. You take their documents once they’re onboard. You don’t let them off. And payment? Maybe you’ll pay them something at the end just to shut them up, but it doesn’t have to be what was agreed.. it’s entrapment, not volunteering. And it’s very very common practice in the shipping industry, especially through dangerous waters. I wouldn’t wish death upon them, just like I wouldn’t wish death upon the hostages who were forced to work the farms and construction during WW2.

Sorry if you’re feeling triggered because it offends your favourite team. But if you think it’s a hilarious idea, then lucky you - you haven’t been exposed to how the global shipping industry works.

There wouldve probably been Phillipinos and other nationalities onboard who are nothing to do with the war. Theyre the backbone and the cheap labour that gets chewed up by the global shipping industry. Often locked into vessels without access to their passport or any port that will let them off. Some of these guys aren’t allowed home for months or even years at a time.
War isn’t a two sided fight. It’s an infection that can hurt everyone.

Here we go again

Btc will move forward either way..
It would just be better for everyone if it moved forward with more independent retail using self custody early, rather than large institutions clawing at everyone to retain their legacy power.

Man.. Nearly 100 years later and he’s still on point..

If politicians don’t feel confident that a war can’t hurt them personally, then they’re far less likely to start one.

So with multiple military powers being more than capable of an attack on anyone’s soil, the major militarised governments will keep on the proxy wars and inflation. They’ll hurt any bystanders to retain their power.

What makes it ai? It looks like the old Namtso lake pictures from lonely planet..

A lotta mums will tell you to have joy, have connection, and live fully.
But maybe this might connect with you too.. :

Having kids is like having bitcoin - Lower your time preference. A lot of people, healthy or not, don’t or can’t fall pregnant or stay pregnant when they plan to.

So when/if you’re trying for kids….. just DCA in.
Don’t try and time the market, because it can burn you both ways.
Don’t have expectations, because then your emotions can drive you into bad decisions. Stress is one of mother natures most potent contraceptives.

Just lower that time preference, DCA in, and enjoy the ride. It will set you all up for a prosperous future.

Best of luck to you Isa, have fun ❤️

I like the sound of alternative proposals.. look forward to hearing more
