Last time I went, Wife and I went on a date to Steak and Shake.. if we hadn’t got up and left, we’d probably still be sitting there waiting for them to bring us water and take our order. 😆
Glad you’ve got a good one though. Whenever I actually got them to bring me food, it tasted ok.

Famously, Chelsea Handler will ‘take an edible, m_____te, and go back to sleep.” All that’s missing for her to be a complete jobless loser is to live in her mom’s basement.

Meh, ya the shift may be here, so I’ll just go back out to the garden and be a thought leader there lol

You gotta remain as the “thought leader.” You can’t do that if you’re pulling the slot machine handle of llm responses hoping for a better one. If it doesn’t cooperate, no sense in cajoling it, time to go get a cup of coffee, drink the whole thing and then decide if it’s time to go outside and play or stay and fire up a fresh instance.

Wait.. you thought using Bitcoin made you immune from iniquity? It’s just money, not some form of digital baptism. Of course Bitcoin doesn’t fix character flaws.

Is it the classic problem where you have anxiety introducing those puppies and bunnies, he smells your anxiety, and “fixes the problem” for you?

I’m not fortress, but I’ve had some badly behaved dogs in my day so I consider myself somewhat of a subject expert. 😆

There is a whole spectrum of territorial. Do you mean it tears coyotes up when they come near the property, or do you mean that when someone knocks on the front door it jumps on your lap and rhythmically stress squeals at the ceiling?

It’s truly freeing to realize how few friends you have!

People on FB with 1500 friends? Nah.. my limit is disappointing like 2-3 people a week, let alone 1500.

Just make a custom GPT and tell it to speak only as Inverse Cramer 😆

Oh ok, that makes sense in context.

I just look at granular things and take them to the extreme. I guess all that was me trying to say “The extreme of minimum wage isn’t freedom, it is totalitarian facism.” (Not in the cheap antifa definition of facism, but the classical definition: federalized corporatism).. the same or less free for the average worker, but way less free for a private business owner.

Both the worker and the ceo are people, so it’s a net loss for the worker to be the same free and the owner to be less free. But ya, it’s a dumb metric for freedom lol

Right, that’s the point. It looks like a tiny pebble in an ocean, but it’s merely one symptom of the problem as a whole.
You do make less than that. That means that if you were a business, your employee would be yielding less than that from your labor.
Yet, if your farm was an S-Corp, and attempted to pay yourself (as the employee) the $6.99 you’re worth, then they would say it was tax fraud and unfair compensation.
Sure taxation is theft, but you should be able to pay yourself whatever garbage wage you want. Then, after paying yourself that garbage wage, you should pay taxes at a lower rate because you’re not worth as much.

Anything else is artificial inflation, which isn’t free. The further you get from anarcho-capitalism, the further you get from just simply letting the market decide completely on its own, the closer you are to UBI and full on socialism.
