There is so much fraud and grift at all levels of government that you're a sucker of you're not at least benefitting a bit from the gravy train.

I'm a sucker. 🥲

GrapheneOS a great private alternative Android, if you have a Pixel device although it of course has tradeoffs. I've been using Graphene for a year or two and love it. Although I got a new phone, the Pixel 10, and it's not yet available.

I've been using linux for a couple of decades, literally, and love it. Linux Mint is a great starting point.

Protonmail and their entire suite is fantastic. They now even have a word processor and spreadsheets similar to Google. Plus a VPN, password manager, calendar and drive.

LibreOffice is great, although not as refined as MS or Google.

I use PayPerQ (ppq.ai) for my AI queries. You pay with bitcoin and have access to most of the top models (it not all) and as the name implies, pay sats per question. Also more private since there are no accounts.

The Somali childcare scam is a PsyOp. It's a misdirection to direct your anger at the wrong thing, the wrong people.

Go deeper. Think about where that ire should be directed. Follow the money and incentives. Who set up the system and who is the ultimate beneficiary? Who gains more power and control from it?

Pull your attention and time away from these thieves and looters. Politicians don't deserve either. Let them whither on the vine. Opt out by storing your time and energy outside of their control. #bitcoin

Did you know you can #3Dprint furniture?

This fun project was in response to the wife wanting a riser for plants. It took nearly 10 hours and made for a great time lapse!

It's all one piece and printed with PLA. And it's surprisingly strong. I don't know that I'd use it as a step stool, but great for kids... and plants.

Happy New Year! 2026 LFG!

We agree then. =)

Although I don't think it would take many to have the desired effect' Even if a few thousand vocally said 'fuck it' and stopped paying there's not much they can do.

What will they do? Prosecute 1000s in the legal system and lock 'em up? I don't think so. Their system would grind to a halt.

And if 1000s are doing it vocally, 10s of 1000s more will follow. Nobody wants to be extorted. The dam would break.

They want you to "Tax Revolt" because they already have your money for this year. It's a no consequence pressure outlet for them

I think you're wrong on this one. They live hand-to-mouth. The debt increases by the minute. And if enough people start staging a tax revolt, they will act quickly to squash it. This is a very slippery slope. But if enough people feel empowered enough to stop paying taxes, there's nothing they can do. Maybe they'll start printing more, but that just plays into our hand.
