I don't doubt that these names are the most prevalent in "blue areas" of the country. But I'm not sure it follows that there is strong political affinity for democrat platform.
I seriously doubt the parents of young Muhammad / Yusef / Moshe are out there voting for transgender story hour.

However, if you chart out other major currencies relative strength against the dollar on a 10Y chart, EUR/GBT/CNY are basically flat, most all others have lost ground against USD over 10 years.
The one prominent standout is RUB. Which he is right, that the stupid unworkable sanctions led to forced demand of the RUB, which is helping Russia win the war.
it does everything that the Fed does by creating money as a way to scale US debt. The only thing it doesn't do is have the authority to set interest rates within a set of private banking institutions.
Yes. The next step in stablecoin wars are going to be interest payments. This will radically radically reshape the global currency market.
- Tether buys $100M in US Treasuries
- Treasuries pay tether 4.5% interest
- Tether pays 2% interest to USDT holders and keeps 2.5% for operating income
- USDT holder gets 2% interest automatically in wallet in monthly/daily increments
This will destroy most other national currencies.

Look for HP800 G3. Those regularly go for $50-75 USD and usually includes 8GB of RAM.
For example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/316138776400
HP800 Mini. Or one of the comparable machines from Dell or Lenovo (HP uses Mini name, Dell uses Micro, Lenovo uses Tiny).
Those are much much better choices for a node over a SBC for a similar budget.
I use various labels for work (not that specific model), but the models I use the labels fade significantly after 5 or 6 years.
The practical benefits of DAFs are two-fold: (a) You get an immediate tax write-off for the full amount (note: You can also "carry-over" that write-off for up to 5 years), and (c) You can contribute to your chosen cause whenever you want. Isn't limited to current tax year.
A practical example:
You had a great year and want to donate $100,000. By contributing to a DAF and then donating the funds from there, you could:
-
Get an immediate tax writeoff for $100,000. However suppose writing off $100,000 all in one year wasn't useful to you....well you can carry-over that for up to 5 years, So, you could choose to write off $25,000 this year, $25,000 the second, and $50,000 the third. As long as the full 100,000 was utilized within a 5 year period you are good. This gives you lots of options to utilize higher write-offs during greater income years, and lesser during lesser.
-
You could space out the donation of that 100,000 however you wanted. For example you could set it up to give 10,000 per year for 10 years to your chosen charity.
Biden demanded poultry producers cull 150,000,000 chickens to curb "chicken flu" panic (but probably the truth was another reason which we are not privy to)
I replaced a 40 gal gas with no power vent about 5 years ago, the total was about $1800. So 50 gal with power vent I would guess may add another grand or so.....but well that doesn't factor in inflation.
