Most gold fish put off a lot of ammonia and require frequent water changes.
Though like this one they can be cool.
Second this. When I was a kid I was a tropical fish nerd among many other things.
Betta easy and more interesting than gold fish. And, if you want to add more fish or get a bigger tank they can usually get along with others. As long as there are no other males.
Yeah, not only token but about as milk toast of a Republican as you will see in this era. Maybe during the Bush admin you could call him conservative. Not anymore.
He's been on PBS news for years supposedly representing balance to their left wing views. He rarely has much different to say and since Trump he's just been a sounding board to anti-Trump derangment. I say this as a guy has never voted for Trump and have many problems with the man.
Brooks isn't what most people think of when you say conservative today.
Just wanted to give a clearer picture.
Anyone shocked by this, anyone expecting something significant is a fool. I'm sorry that is harsh but you can't be anything else if you are lied to over and over again and still buy what is being sold.
Indeed. Those that want to understand do. Those capable of understanding is a large number but since it's not coming from the sources of influence it will not be learned.
I've said for years that people have no clue how the dollar works. They will also never understand bitcoin. It's not required they understand it. There just needs to be a critical mass that use it and see that isn't better. Then it will take off from there.
Any alternative to the status quo isn't going to rise by information or converting people intellectually. Most people operate in emotion and with very short term narrow focus. Things like money are far to abstract.
Honestly most people that have bitcoin don't get it either. Not really the mechanics and economics.
citing the shortage of dollars abroad signaling a credit crisis... I see this as part of the design, an intentional dollar wrecking ball.

Its clear to me that today we are still seeing the reprocussions of the global lockdowns and massive fiat printing. Few people even mention this. I remember talking to my sane coworkers about the bill coming due for that obviously terrible policy over the next decade.
One reason the rulers and bankers can get away with it is because of short memories. Others include the overall ignorance of how the fiat/government and crony capitalism systems work. The other is that the blowhards just make it into a personality thing. Trump blames Biden, Biden blames Trump. The masses get focused on the players and not the game. The masses are like fans of pro-wrestling that believe it's all real.
I'm not sure how it breaks but the farse seems unsustainable to me. The problem to me seems that the idea of socialism seems to have more legs with younger people than the real path forward. Reflecting state monopoly and embracing freedom, liberty, and responsibility.
Housing Crash FalloutHousing Crash Fallout
At least in California the supply of homes has never recovered. My friends in the real-estate market tell me that even with a net decrease in migration in California we have a housing shortage which drives prices up. Prices that are already inflated due to monetary policy.
California has insane regulations and oppressive permitting for home builders as well as commercial builders. This is across the state but worse in the large metros. It's a big reason many are leaving the costal cities to live in smaller interior cities in the state. Which is driving up costs there as well.
There is a lot of debate about what will happen if interest rates are cut. It will result in more houses going on the market but it won't magically make more housing appear. But it could help as many people that are empty nesters are sitting on their big houses because it would be stupid to sell now.
Yeah, just like Obama care. That amazing triumph of socialism.
On top of that the nations that seem to care most about it are the most wealthy ones. Not the poorest. The poorest have much more pressing and solvable problems like diseases that can be healed, hunger, and general societal development.
The reality is that even if the whole world followed the guidance of the UN's study on climate change it would not be enough. These are their own estimations. They also estimate it will depress the development of these poor nations.
I'm sure there are many sincere people concerned about climate change but they sure don't seem to be in positions of power. It seems those people are more concerned with power.
I don't think most people get how much smoke and mirrors are in tech. They used to call it vaporware
I guess I missed this post last year
