I think you have to go non-ad funded for real journalism. I like https://substack.com/ , but there are plenty of other like sources available.

Agreed. Go here instead: https://substack.com/ That or any other non-ad funded media source.

Sure, but inflation should be viewed as individual vectors. Each vector corresponding to a delta of price and time in a generalized location for a specific good. Something like the CPI cannot be a hard science as it refuses to acknowledge t

Agree--mostly prole. I myself would like to think I was born low prole and have moved to high. From the review I believe in many aspects I have middle taste, but I just don't think I've actually made it yet.

What good does this make the vaccines? Aren't the vaccines only really desirable for the elderly? The risk factors for the disease are mainly age and underlying comorbidities, but if the same people aren't receiving it well? On to

Making who's information accessible to whom? I'm pretty sure a lot of information on me is made available to parties I'd prefer privacy from. Also one could say cash dollars promote crime. Most terrorism is cash funded.

Please this! I'm in the market for a replacement, but I hate the idea of paying a premium for a device that's still tattling on me.

The same happens when humans switch to a largely corn diet. Corn and wheat (maybe just grains) just don't seam healthy. If I had to drop meat, I'd primarily eat beans/legumes.

I love Monero. The transactions are fast and cheap too.

I'm just biased. I hate advertising and I hate tracking even more. I'm sure some companies will be slightly hurt, but I believe it will be a net gain for society. I worked at a small hardware store as a kid and we got all our busi

I would say that's a false equivalency. In the Apple case, it's possibly gaining via marketing and driving people to paid apps that Apple gains revenue from. Please don't misread me though--I'm glad Apple is doing this,

What spin. "This will hurt small businesses in TV and Radio." Really!? That's the best argument they can come up with?

No, they just have it in gold, stocks, real estate, art, etc... all of which probably doesn't gather much dust--maybe the gold, but if you can afford art, you can probably afford someone to clean it. I also agree that they have debt fo

I will review. Russ Roberts is pretty good. He leans closer to no governance than any. Still, Hong Kong being different now is because the powerful (China) changed the government to favor themselves. This is actually an example of governmen

My point is the Texas energy market is a centralized Texas Legislature governed market. AKA not government-less.
