I’ve been saying this for years! Random selection of 6 candidates and then a vote for them. 2 year terms and you’re out. It really is a better system as it doesn’t self select for narcissists. It’s like jury duty or the draft but for public service. I really wish a municipality would try this on.

It’s easier said than done BUT if you live by “unrealized gains aren’t really gains” then your life will become more serene

I will admit I have not listened to Peter Schiff much but I did recently listen to him on Tucker’s podcast. It kind of amazes me that he equates good money to having utility when that’s clearly a BAD thing. You don’t want real estate or food or oil or ammo to be your money. There are many properties of gold that make it good money but utility is NOT one of them. But he sort of has to latch on to that because it’s the only thing he can point to when comparing gold to bitcoin

Ah, I see. Yeah, that’s true. When it comes to people buying actual bitcoin, though; I think we may be better off moving to an sats/dollar metric.
