If a cryptocurrency concentrates into the hands of a few, as assets tend to do in capitalism, then wouldn't proof of stake mean those few control the cryptocurrency anyway?
Couldn't those transactions be cut off at those swapping points to fiat? I assume if a bank doesn't support a business directly transferring funds for a particular purpose then they'd take issue with indirectly transferring funds for the same purpose and would work to close those accounts.
"It could always be worse" is an excuse to never improve things. What's really ridiculous is your inability to see how much of our productivity goes toward enriching a few and how easy it would be for them to give back tons of wealth they've taken from us and still live like kings, plus it would improve the conditions of those people working 16h a day because they're being exploited by the same wealthy class.
Why do they have a diner? Is this supposed to be added to the list explaining why tesla's stock should be worth as much as it is because "it's not just a car company"?
Yep, and they were helped a lot after the 2008 financial crisis when interest rates were dropped super low and loans were cheap. That's a major reason why the market has been screaming for the fed to cut the interest rate as much as possible.
I'm no fan of capitalism, but nothing in it requires public schools to install surveillance software on laptops. This seems purely like an administration issue, which is often the source of problems in general, not just in schools, but also in other sectors like healthcare, where they put in stupid policies while sucking up funding for themselves and their pet issues instead of towards the core purpose of that sector.
Agreed on the snow days. In fact, I think we should reduce the number of school days (and work days, for that matter) in general.
I was already glad being out of school before widespread take-home laptops and required after-school logging in to check for homework and shit, but this AI-driven surveillance is on a whole other level. Sometimes I'm wondering if it's just me getting old and doing the old people thing thinking things were better "back in the day" but is this current state not objectively worse, being monitored so much and having no way to really disconnect from school?
This is why the argument that paying for something would prevent ads falls apart. If they can squeeze more money out of people then they will, even if those people are paying $80k+ for the damn thing.
The second holocaust is happening right now and it's all thanks to the terrorists who founded israel, violently removing Palestinians from their homes, and setting the blueprint for the entire existence of the cancer known as israel. Palestine is only the beginning in the israelis' campaign of lebensraum, they have a whole plan of "greater israel" that they're looking forward to implementing.
Of course, this clown is a puppet. He didn't get his position because he's a good leader, he got his position because he plays ball. Have fun blowing all those resources on "the line", ya stupid fuck, until it's your turn to be Saddam'd.
This plus all the different Italian names for coffee which, as far as I can tell, are mostly just describing the amount of dairy added.
