Bitcoin on ... Bitcoin?
Hmm ... interesting - > https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
The whole CPU power thing ... I have to think about that some more.
Not sure how I feel in general about a system of trust being based on any 'power', regardless of the source.

An episode of Economic Update you don't want to miss.
On top of that, two new books I need to read -
There's individual delusion, then there's what can only be described as continental bully.

I mean seriously, what other terms can one use ?
The U.S. has been in charge long enough to make it clear that the world order it dominates can only be maintained by nonstop violence and aggression, with more and more of that violence and aggression being directed toward major nuclear-armed powers. The facts are in and the case is closed: U.S. unipolar hegemony is unsustainable.

I've posted links to videos like this before, but it's a reminder to me - this is how my life feels often.
My goals are to make my life less so.

Hallmark term of capitalism and it's ruling class - COVER-UP.
https://consortiumnews.com/2023/03/22/seymour-hersh-accuses-us-of-nord-stream-cover-up/
In his Wednesday piece, Hersh contended that the message of the Times and Die Zeit stories — both of which emphasized that much of the sabotage operation remains shrouded in mystery — “was that the press and the public should stop asking questions and let the investigators unravel the truth.”
“Holger Stark, the author of the report in Die Zeit, went a step further and noted that there were some ‘in international security services’ who had not excluded the possibility that the yacht story ‘was a false flag operation.’ Indeed, it was,” Hersh alleged, citing an anonymous source inside the U.S. intelligence community.
That source told Hersh that the yacht narrative reported by Die Zeit “was a total fabrication by American intelligence that was passed along to the Germans, and aimed at discrediting your story.”

Ohio has to deal with Norfolk Southern. Meanwhile, we have Burlington Northern Santa Fe.
Yay us - no.

The derailment in Washington occurred on a berm along Padilla Bay, on the Swinomish tribal reservation near Anacortes. Most of 5,000 gallons (nearly 19,000 liters) of spilled diesel fuel leaked on the land side of the berm rather than toward the water, according to the state Ecology Department.
Oh, an you know this is trustworthy ...
Officials said there were no indications the spill reached the water or affected any wildlife.

On this day back in 1977 - AC/DC's Let There Be Rock was released.
Joy for all who celebrate Malcolm Young.
His rhythm guitar sound was the best on this one.
The whole record is rough, raw, and rocking.

Coup in Peru aftermath - the struggle of the majority against the capitalist ruling class.

- Monroe Doctrine
- Manifest Destiny
- American Exceptionalism
Call it whatever you like - all those terms above and more are valid.
In the end, the common element is this system of capitalism - and those who control it for their own aims - are the problem.
Joe 'Drill baby drill!' Biden.

Not that much different than his VP opponent back in 2008, eh?
Amazing how time and events show how wrong one can get things.

More metoo bullshit.
Incredible. Wrecking men's lives based on accusations, and no evidence at all.
And, with no accountability what so ever.

'Employee Appreciation Day' - it's bullshit.
Just endless virtue signaling, and no value to employees at all.
At my employer, I got a note about some site where I can view how 'appreciated' I supposedly am.
In it, I saw myself, among a list of others in the group I'm in, and each name had their manager listed.
Which means each manager, gets listed multiple times - yeah that's really classless. It makes me feel the opposite of 'appreciated', or even special for that matter.
If employers (read, corporations) really want to show any kind of appreciation to employees - they could -
- Pay people based on productivity, instead of the lowest/cheapest rate corporations choose to get away with.
- Better benefits around medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Paid sick days (Vacation is NOT sick time)
- Paid parental leave
- Defining and establishing clear career paths for employees
I could go on, but I'll stop there, as that was literally what comes to mind.
