it is no surprise that more and more young couples don't want kids.
just ask them why and they will tell you: "we need more savings before we start a family" "it is so hard to raise kids these days". "it's not the right time with both of us working"
it has. nothing to do with microplastics, phthalate, yada yada...

yeah it is wild. few hvac installers are encouraging early replacement of old units with the 410s since you will have at least 10 years. i believe all new r32 only get 5 year lifetimes despite greater cooling efficiency

2024-08-11 19:16:19

consumers are not going to be excited about the new HVAC regulations coming to the US at the end of this year.
The current coolant is being swapped out for a new coolant that is more "environmentally friendly" but comes at the expense of repairability.
No ability to patch leaks in the new systems, automatic shutoff of the entire unit if there is any leak detected, no ability to "top off" a system if it is leaking while working on a repair, no ability to run with a partial leak.
the old units that use r410 coolants will no longer be allowed for new installs in favor of the r32. all of the issues with repairability and usability come from the flamability of the new coolant.
home owners who could have previously done repairs and extended the longevity of their units will now be forced into simply buying an entire new system.

yes, in the case of the mortgage you are short the currency and are assuming that money printing will exceed the rate of your debt.

2024-08-02 11:26:09

my criticism aside, if you happen to have a bunch of tax payer money sitting around that hasn't been used to buy bombs, pay down existing debt, or pay out for healthcare costs, by all means, buy the bitcoin so that those other obligations can't be fulfilled #note1xyw…9htt

hahah! taking convertible stock debt is a little different than taking currency debt. one is enriching shareholders against the dollar and the other is bankrupting a country and the citizens mandatory currency

2024-08-01 22:35:18

the best way to pay down debt is to stop taking on new debt and then pay off the old stuff.
buying bitcoin and hoping it outpaces debt growth is the dumbest idea.
bitcoin goes up because money growth is the debt growth

prediction:
the US government will not buy any bitcoin this decade.
they will sell all bitcoin they have confiscated.
they will openly attack bitcoin when it grows to a larger market cap than gold via confiscation or illegality of holding as it will be openly threatening to their treasury bills and bonds.
the first rule passed on illegality will be that it cannot be held in pensions or retirement accounts

2024-07-28 01:42:57

but what will naturally happen is the flow of bitcoin to places where spending on goods is freely encouraged.
places that tax heavily will see an outflow of capital and will eventually have the incentive to encourage free flow of peer to peer

2024-07-28 01:21:08

your capital gains on bitcoin are as a result of fiat debasement. if the government wants more capital gains revenue all they have to do is debase more.
the only politicians worth listening to are those who are proposing elimination of transactional capital gains

i'm allergic to whitney webb but agree that transacting with bitcoin will be increasingly difficult since they want to keep dollar rails intact

2024-07-27 23:28:13

when a government buys bitcoin, it is doing so with the the money that they either debased without your permission or with the money that was conscripted via taxes

confiscating others property and saving it as your reserves is morally corrupt. many of those bitcoin belong to bitfinex (95k)
#note13lh…5hk6

2024-07-27 21:45:34

you can only pay off debt with assets if you sell the assets.
therefore a strategic reserve of gold or bitcoin does not pay off the debt unless it is sold to retire outstanding dollar liabilities

narratives are not truth
narratives are stories we tell ourselves and others when we want to convince ourselves of something that we don't fully understand
if someone ever uses the word narrative when explaining something, it is best to stop listening and investigate it yourself

your nsec is your key. and although it means a message it signed it doesn't attribute identity to anyone.
in the future when a high profile organization or person is on nostr, we will all wonder if their key is compromised if they post something strange just like we wonder on twitter if an account is compromised when it posts something strange.
