Americans like to fuck around and find out. Australians gave up their weapons of self defense.

So you’re saying the US didn’t tolerate being locked down? Ok thanks for clearing it up. Your posts will be more effective if they don’t contradict themselves. And since you like explaining your rep choices I’ll explain mine. Don’t worry, you’re good. I almost never neg people because I’m generally positive and I don’t take this too seriously. It’s just anonymous internet chat. Keep fighting the good fight.

These are some of the cultural reasons I was referencing. We are a risk taking culture, and a stubborn one. We would never lock the fuck down Australia style. Or do the strict tracing like South Korea. We’re also fat.

Nonsense. Being the global center of commerce and travel, our country was thoroughly seeded through NYC air traffic before we even really understood what was happening. There are genetic and cultural reasons that help explain Asian countries outperformance vs the rest of the world.

No no no I’m a holistic alternative medicine provider. Acupuncture, meditation, ayahuasca trips.

They’ve also been locked down much harder than us, in a manner that the US population would not have tolerated.

Did they not have that in Germany?

Bitch, please

So, here’s the real deal. We’ve discussed this when the thread was on DT so y’all may have missed it. Trump could’ve done much better. There’s two basic things that he really botched that could’ve made a difference. 1-Shutting down Euro air traffic at same time as China. Our country was being seeded with Covid the whole time and we didn’t know it. 2- more strongly encourage mask usage. This is obvious. What difference would all the toughest measures had made? Well the “best” performing Western European country was Germany. They were often cited for how well they were doing. They ranked 42nd and had 1,055 deaths per million. We ended up 16th with 1,792 deaths per million. Actually did better than the UK. In the same neighborhood as most of Western Europe. If we got down to German performance with all their measures we would’ve still had 346,000 dead. So better but still a large amount. Some posters here try to act like any number of deaths above zero was directly attributable to one person or political party. That’s just not true. Covid was a global calamity and it’s looking more and more like it was visited on the world because of Chinese incompetence. What should be the repercussions for that? I don’t know, but to act like it’s inconsequential to know how this happened is a strange position to me. If one of “Trump’s Virus Labs” had released this to the world this board would be screaming about how horrible we were as a nation. Throwing ourselves at the mercy of the court, suggesting punishments for ourselves.

How so? Anyway a small group of Senators joining up to influence legislation and regulation in this area. co chairs Lummis-R and Sinema-D other members D-Hickenlooper R-Scott, Blackburn, Braun, Cassidy

Our population is fat and disgusting.

Lol

Or it’s people so blinded by hate that you suspend use of common sense. Or brain worms as they’ve been called.

Why do you think I supported that guy?

Ok. CFR has multiple former cabinet members, including Geithner, who would have insight into likely attacks against Bitcoin. I think we’re splitting hairs here. How about we say he has incredibly powerful contacts through multiple positions? And he says it’s here to stay. Which entrepreneurs in other countries? CZ? Americans hold more Bitcoin and other crypto than any country in the world. We’re in a good spot currently. Hopefully our government is smart enough to capitalize on it. You’re right though it’s not guaranteed.

I don’t, except that she has tits and a gun. If I see a thread here and realize it just pointless shit taking about some nobody I don’t typically click it. I know this guy. He was riding Trump’s coattails for 4 years. He has to have higher visibility. He was involved in some kind of sex scandal which I do not condone, for the record. Evidently all this has to be stated. I’m not a political junkie. What do I post here? Mostly poorly received memes on the comedic thread. Or stuff related to crypto or finance. Anything else is me dropping in to point out some hypocrisy I see come across my feed on Twitter. That’s it. All that being said, what is the upside to me lying about knowing who these people are? I looked who she is and then called her nutso. I don’t have to support anybody who has a R next to their name and I don’t. What’s the big deal?

I don’t watch cable news, unless it’s on in lounge at work. My Twitter follows must (wisely) never cite her. You’ll all have to believe me, Or not.

Literally the only place I’d seen it is this thread title always being near the top of the forum. Never interested me enough to click it. She’s evidently crazy. Great. What a pointless call out by Hollywood Colt. Ignore

Carlyle Group is big Private Equity. He would have more access to intel on long term crypto viability from CFR.

Ok. I looked her up. She’s a new congresswoman from Georgia that has a horse face and believes conspiracy theories. Ok great. She’s crazy and ugly. I don’t know anybody who’s ever discussed her anywhere aside from this thread evidently. It’s 46 pages long. Is she on CNN a lot?

Whose opinion did you weigh more? Naked Capitalism blogger or the Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations? I’m not really a fan of this phase of the mass adoption where we have to utilize these powerful people to help further Bitcoin. These people will try to co-opt it. Fortunately it’s a global network controlled by users/nodes. Other cryptos are far more vulnerable to their influence. But the support or even just tacit acceptance of these people is needed to take it to the next level.

This lady must be kind of like QAnon. Liberals knew way more about that than conservatives.

I’ve seen the name on the thread here and never clicked on the thread. Where is she from? I guess she’s a crazy person? Great then she’s crazy.
