On the contrary, it could also be a universal human emotion in the same way that people are awe-struck when they visit the Grand Canyon or Redwood Forest. It could end up being a very therapeutic endeavor for the average person if space-tou

It's not odd, we're coming off of a global pandemic where people were commuting less, saving more (no daycare, not eating out), and collecting stimulus checks. Meanwhile, the businesses that should have failed because of the drop

I think we're actually on the cusp of some sort of hyperinflation/stagflation this decade, so BTC is a fantastic hedge against that. You can't float the entire US economy along, shutter all of the businesses but keep people e

My girlfriend and I of 3 1/2 years broke up last month. I do partially blame the virus for showing us that maybe we weren't as compatible as I thought. I'm not great right now but I'm channeling my energy into self impro

Yeah that's very "woke" of you for saying that but there's really no positive way to spin this. When a pilot, or flight attendant, or engineer has to retrain and possibly leave an industry they've worked in potentia

Uhm, what? Or maybe they're just doing it out of convenience? Have you never payed a fee for convenience? Have you tipped in a restaurant? Have you taken the highway instead of the back roads and payed a toll? Have you ever had food
