I take my sports car to the west Texas desert. Think the Big Bend Marfa area. Long, empty, straight roads with great clarity thanks to no hills.

It’s a web3 platform from an actual crypto company with a decent security track record and based in the US. Feels much safer than open sea which is constantly hacked and I trust more than GameStop who says they are also launching and NFT s

I recommend reading Compounds white paper. They are a big player and have a decentralized protocol which establishes money markets with algorithmically set interest rates based on supply and demand. https://compound.finance/

Exactly these companies are ultra rich and can afford to pay for talent. Google has $160 billion in cash. Im NYC, Google just spent $2.1 billion on a Hudson yards building, in addition to the $2.4 billion for the Chelsea market and $600 mil

Interesting, in the US every restaurant to construction site is staffed with Central American immigrants. In my area it’s nearly impossible to find Americans who will work on a cement crew, for example, despite the high wages.

I’m in central Texas and my power has gone out twice this summer. Not for a week like in February but I prefer the cold, you can put on a jacket. My house got into the 90’s and I could do nothing.

Well my neighbor works in construction and would park several of his giant dump trucks in the street parking and the crew would gather outside every morning making a ruckus while leaving for the day. It was terrible and I was glad the code

I’m a native Texan and have had several power outages this year including one last week outside of San Antonio. Also pretty sure I had at least one in 2019. I remember frequent blackouts during the hurricane season in the TX city I grew up

There have audits that found nothing https://www.maricopa.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=2119 . I also disagree with your claim about this being a ‘well controlled and good audit’. These are the same people that were searching for
