Of course it would be decades before I interacted with negros to any extent. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I know (of) people like that and their brain is completely fried on pot and MSNBC, like the only people keeping them from going back to their "Coke Commercial" dream is people like Charlie Kirk. (There's probably enough young people on here that may have never seen the ad, enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VM2eLhvsSM ) npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich My one brother was a preacher and he noted that there was a strong tendency for small one-off ministries like he would be involved with to turn into cults. Like slowly over time all the parishioners start dressing like the preacher and before the preacher knows it he’s basically a Charles Manson knock-off. (Obviously something specific to the U.S. as we’ve noted before). npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I wish I had the charisma to run a cult, and while I can fake it for an hour or two people’s bullsh!t inevitably gets the better of me. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Thus why I like Neil Stephenson's "Franchise Ghetto" line as it characterizes it as something deplorable. I always wonder who the f@ck would eat at Olive Garden since even the most poor, depopulated area has mom and pop Italian places but every time I go past OG on a Saturday night their parking lot is backed up out onto the street 😩 npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich It is what it is I suppose. It's now not unusual for me to ask someone what their favorite local place is and they rattle off someplace they didn't know was a national chain because there is only one in their area.* The handful of times I've been to the U.K. or Japan I've found their local dining establishments completely enthralling, a chance to eat at a place that isn't a hole in the wall and isn't the end result of a endless corporate marketing discussion. I'll be upfront with you though: Americans of all races don't like that stuff, they want sh!t as bland and predictable as possible. *It reminds me of going to the Cheesecake factory with a buddy who lives out in the sticks: Him: "This place is amazing, these local places can be amazing" Me: "Lol dude, there's three of these stupid things just within a half an hour of my house". npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich "Franchise Ghetto" as it was put in Snow Crash. Post-war U.S. was built on cultural homogeny with part of the reason being that the country was so big and spread out that it was more about "branded" supply chains than quality. Local efforts basically got the scraps and typically didn't last beyond the generation that founded them. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Wrong place at the wrong time: The wrong place: around blacks The wrong place: anytime npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich It sprang to mind from listening to Auron's podcast this morning concerning NatCon. What I found interesting was that he thought that (big time jew) Hazony felt that he had to include criticism of Israel in his conference in order to keep it relevant. This was the same conference that years ago Zman had joked about being banned from by Hazony. Total jew circle-jerks would just ignored if Shapiro and Levin's dream came to pass. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Oblivious as to the tenuous nature of their current situation. For example, the only reason the Daily Wire has any relevancy is because of the slightly spicy Matt Walsh. At this point it would be easier to purge the jews than the other way around. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich >Oh yeah I forgot about the 250k American mens' lives we wasted Not sure if anyone else watched the History Legends guy's take on the U.S. troop management during WWII. It was *maybe* only second to the Japanese in terms of malicious butchering of their own men, and certainly the most needless (as the Japanese didn't have much of a choice but the Americans did): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJL-NzqIkUs npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Got the call today that the wife of my somewhat-boss is going into hospice. I note it as she was never very healthy, but was quick to get the jab and immediately turned into a giant clot and has spent probably 80% of the last four-ish years in hospitals (and the other 20% confined to home waiting to go back to the hospital). Like all my coworkers they’re all normie cons who, for some reason, still believed the regime had a shred of legitimacy back in 2020. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich > a record store That picture is 30 years old? 🤔 npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Had to try put this through a location detector annnnnnnd, oh, well that's anti-climatic: https://i.poastcdn.org/ef/02/ce/ef02ceeac348546b711fa606710537ed546cdfec26f0fbbd24f7425bd3901bdf.png npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich It's odd isn't it that power is so passé in the west that no one wants it. Yarvin (yeah, I know) was chiding Musk (ditto) on this fact, that power isn't derived from angry tweets. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I've heard it said that all the good Scottish people left for America long ago. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Applicable: https://i.poastcdn.org/65/62/18/656218d3d875e5606f6a60507f33a0fbca099e74a850b63c536b70e4513974ac.png #note1dn6…ks63 npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I've conversed with enough jeets on X to find this complete lack of introspection entirely believable. Their intellectual "power move" is to insult White Americans, take joy in our misery, while wishing we were dead (yes, these are the same people ("people") who wonder why Whites are "racist" towards them). npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I consider myself to be fairly Christian so I'm encouraged to see this. >"So you go to church?" I said I was Christian not gay 🙄 npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich >We've taken an infantry battle rifle that must be carried for possibly dozens of miles at a time and made it EVEN HEAVIER! Fuggin brilliant. Other's also mention how long (decades) it took to work out all the kinks from the M16 platform; I guess they want to do that again. Also 👇🏼 https://i.poastcdn.org/21/5d/28/215d286875e310020910544fad43b0a2b9ee609252d17f2f4282b409422b6d9e.png npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Should have just redone it in concrete and stainless steel. I would have looked about the same but then they could just hose it down like a prison. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich >Lana del Rey Looks like she likes "video games" too: https://i.poastcdn.org/c1/f4/08/c1f4083b4f4e88b9b5af517f81cf6a3e283e903344e0f1911eb70ebe924b2686.jpg npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich That's a nicely produced tune. It brings to mind my nagging thought where I'd really like to hear newer music at general "festival settings" instead of yet another take on music circa 1970-2000-ish but a) I'm probably in the minority on that as the music scene is too fractured for a general audience and b) even barring that the good stuff is so over-produced nowadays (something I'm a fan of) that it would be nearly impossible for a small band to replicate it. Something like Ellie Goulding's The Writer could be pulled off, but who has even heard it enough to remember it and the rest of her stuff is so produced that the handful of times I saw her on TV doing a live set she was basically karaoke-ing her own songs. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I can't come up with an offshore location that's as porn-friendly as the GAE proper, but even granting that having it be illegal to produce and distribute would rob it of the morality it carries and force the purveyors of filth to always be looking over their shoulder. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I tend to disagree on this point because if states used existing laws to threaten digital pimps like those that run “only fans“ that it would kill off 80% of porn generation which would be worth doing. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich That does sound...fishy. Like what kind of domestic disturbance are they expecting? I guess chimpouts are possible though it'd be the first time the Feds did anything about that. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Old: "$25 grand seems like a reasonable amount to become educated and get a good job" New: "$100 grand of debt seems excessive since becoming a drugged-out whore should be free" npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I'll believe this Chinesium garbage is worth something when they can get someone else to buy it; otherwise it's just show pieces for their parades. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Now the only enemy is yourselves, which is a powerful foe indeed. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich >This woman is a schizophrenic Dealing with one of those at gov job now and my thought always is that in a different age this person would be in jail but instead he lives on the government dole giving him time and money to harass the people paying him to do so. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich They'll remember. Anyone caught "off the plantation" during the Trump years will be dealt with Rick Vaughn-style if the regemists regain power. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich They've shown themselves to have no bottom for their pettiness; if someone works part time at Taco Bell while living in a group home and thinks BigNose wouldn't bother to go after someone so insignificant he would be wrong. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I have a small sample size but I’ve never known someone who served in the military after that time who came out thinking better of the government (whereas I knew many who did who served during the Cold War). npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I'd love to blame it on that, and I'm sure it doesn't help, but even stuff out of Brit Hong Kong and Taiwan generally fit the mold too. If I had to theorize it was why nearly plotless Kung Fu movies are so beloved by that population. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Interesting. Some Chinese schlock is passable but the issue with their stuff is that it is the same thing over and over (and over again): Heroes seek to defend authority from those who would subvert it. For instance, one native told me that the story device of the treacherous police officer (a common trope in American media) is something that is never seen in ChiCom media. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich So tiresome, we just got a bunch of pictures of our leading politicians felating the jew worship-wall and yet he thinks "it's not the jews" is believable. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich We're ruled by hostile foreigners who hate our guts and Mr. Golem here want's them to give him a cookie for running cover for them. #note1xxv…mc8l npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich That's the optimistic take. My pessimistic side is guessing he's over there dining on Palestinian kids, npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I'd heard that he had it in his holster and he threw his holster down and the thing blasted him. While I cannot vouch for the above I do have a reliable first person report that there were always issues with errant discharges with these pistols but that no one cared until a discharge ended up killing someone (to the extent, you know, that Sig and the government "care" now). npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich They're afraid they'll get "Valved" and their payment processing gets pulled. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Good a time as any for me to note that JWST has (just about) affirmed that there was no “Big Bang”. The kraut woman on youtube who noted this still refers to the Big Bang in later videos because…a made up event is better than an absolute void in knowledge I suppose. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Why would he appoint several people who did nothing but talk about this though? That's not a criticism, I mean really, wtf is going on? :Confused_Dog: npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich >"Only the worst people are still talking about this, and I am never talking about this, ever again, except for constant, semi-coherent, 5-mile long posts on my social media platform." npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I would suggest getting involved in local politics. Nothing will eat up more time and will also charge you up with a hatred for your fellow man so strongly that you’ll always want to live one more day on the off chance that you’ll get to see them suffer. hmm, that wasn’t very positive now that I think about it 🤔 npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich And to your other point the government never wants to cut costs from the system as that's the only solid employment sector they have anymore, even though it's (being generous) 80% people just digging holes and filling them back in. It's something foreigners don't get about our system either as it long ago quit being about healthcare and more about finding a cubbyhole to shove as many mid-wits as possible into so that they stay placated. (And an anecdote: my wife used to work at a medical uniform store and she said that 100% of the "black medical professionals" who came stank of weed). npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I wish this wasn't true... #note1m0e…5xkf npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich There's little doubt in my mind that Epstein was *not* the one issuing blackmail "suggestions"; it's like thinking the guy at the Apple store had anything to do with building an iPhone. I also doubt that he was on anyone's payroll system (Maxwell I'm less sure of), but he got his money from somewhere and it wasn't "being a highly skilled trader" or whatever B.S. line is trotted out. https://i.poastcdn.org/9a/0a/46/9a0a460eb5f504dccfa644916abd9112f8cd98befeaa5184c20c16507a61fc45.png npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I'm sure mossad is just as candid with their political leaders as the FBI is with theirs 🙄 npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Me: “funny but I’m sure it’s fake” *google news search* Me: “F@ck, kill me now” :tiresome: npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Maybe this (the most amazing thing about the piece is who wrote it): https://www.theamericanconservative.com/paul-kalchik-persecuted-priest-chicago-cupich/ npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Harsh but (mostly) fair https://i.poastcdn.org/86/58/f2/8658f2bf8168015125efce15c61a6cbe090e4fd93d8f1468f9074b301054a2ac.png npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich It's amusing that they want me to pay to sit through a two-hour long movie when I can't even sit through a minute long trailer for it. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich A lot to be said on that. I’ve been hanging around on X more and at least 80% is nothing but gaslighting with the support (I would guess) of multiple bots and sock puppet accounts. Just don’t see that here, for now at least. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Yeah there are several Congress Critters who can most clearly be arrested for any manner of open law breaking, but he saves his ire for a guy who is one of his staunchest allies. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Its not exactly in my wheelhouse but it didn’t make too much sense as “line cooking“ and baking are kind of two different things; the usual setup I see is restaurants outsourcing their desert menu (for intricate baked goods like that). It would be kind of weird to see a highly skilled baker who says “I think I’ll be a line cook too!”. and in this case it would be even more unusual to see people who are fundamentally bad at everything else yet somehow able to pull it together every day to bake a bunch of stuff. 🤔 npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I didn’t see it mentioned in the thread but I remember hearing at the time that the one good thing: the baked goods, actually weren’t made there; someone else made them and they just resold them. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Plenty of evil to fight right at home without going abroad to make needless enemies. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Napoleon and Hitler say “hi” #note1ama…j2hz npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich The middle flag completely explains your desire to get as many White people killed as possible, and… You’re still wrong about the EU military, they couldn’t beat a determined street gang at this point. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich > Its members have 1.3 million soldiers It's members have 1.3 million people that are paid by their various ministries of defenses. C'mon, I figured since you're naturally skeptical of government you'd know that number is 90% bullsh!t. The other 10% isn't great either as most of those militaries haven't fought a foreign power in 100+ years. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich >The EU has done nothing except tweeting and talking Dude we've been over this, that's all the *can* do. They do not have hundreds of thousands of frontline troops and even if they did they'd have no way to get them there and even IF, by some miracle, they figured all that out, they'd have no way to supply them. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich Another hot leftist take of “let me take these two unrelated things and put them in the same sentence“ npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich He's much more a creature of the Internet (note how he slammed Zelensky based on what he read on Twitter), it will probably come out in the 2028 campaign that Vance and RealRaul are the same person. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I think some of those euro guys believe their own press releases. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich China: launches ongoing campaign to try to get people to stop spitting loogies on the street.

I mean, is the grocery store trying claw back *all* their margin at the deli counter? Often (but certainly not always) butchers will have selection of deli meats that beat the local grocery stores. I'm mildly spoiled now as the local Amish grocery store is still like ~$6/lb for meats and $4/lb for cheese. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich >Every thing over priced Yeah it wouldn't be quite so amusing were it not for the fact that their stuff is outrageously expensive.

The $24K (if you can find one) isn't *that* far off from the cheapie Toyota truck considering how much more it comes with. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich >I really want Toyotas new $10k truck Me too. They had a write-up of it for it's release in Thailand which had it selling for $12K. It was still pretty stripped (no climate controls outside of a fan). Looks like imported trucks have an import duty of 25% which would bounce it up to $15K, which, is still a fraction of the cost of even the most stripped Ford Ranger. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich This. States across the midwest have pretty static population numbers and yet there's a shortage of shanty towns. If people knew the truth ("lol, we moved another Detroits-worth of violent strangers into the state again this year") people would probably get very upset (or at least I'd like to think so). npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich The aggravating thing is that it's done under the guise of >"We Have to solve the housing crisis" When in actuality they're doing nothing of the sort (or, the opposite, after all if they move a city worth of invaders into a peaceful village now everyone has a "housing crisis"). npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich I should note that my red-state is mulling over a law exactly like the Hump notes in Cali as local communities have gotten wise and have put together dictionary-length zoning rules to keep developers out. The ability to keep developers out without resorting to...spicy measures grows more remote everywhere by the day. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich The two interesting free speech ideas I chew on are: -It's less about someone being able to say anything that it is about my freedom to *hear* it. A lot of repressive governments don't care if someone speaks their mind when no one hears it. -Free speech was always about conveying political/ideological/intellectual content.

The gold standard isn't needed if the government is disciplined and conversely if the government isn't disciplined, it does nothing, i.e. what you, well *we*, want is less a gold standard, than a government that can be run on a gold standard. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich This is what avoiding the discussion on government spending gets us, and I almost don't care since starvation, food shortages, and black market chicken eggs are what large swaths of this country deserve. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich They could have handled the space program, the war, or, ugh, the outbreak of nigger-love, but not all three. Arguably the oil reserve currency status brought more power to the empire than holding on to some 19th century currency standard ever would, and it also ensured that debt spending would continue unabated since debt generation is all but required for a reserve currency in order to make sure there is enough liquidity to conduct transactions in it around the globe. npub1tvtlmyf9c3umux0zwdj9jcw0d4k987rn7kux65mfafu2nn4aw44s8rlujt EvilSandmich As usual, this gets it (mostly) backwards though: >The drawback is that, in the years since the end of the gold standard, there’s been a significant and growing lack of discipline when it comes to government spending. Nixon had to end the gold standard precisely because a decade of proliferate spending meant that the government was unable to defend the standard. We see something similar happening today where the government is repeatedly abusing the underpinnings of the currency with no care for what will happen when it breaks. (For instance, some robot historian will say the dollar crashed in 2030 because the Saudis walked away from the Dollar-Oil agreement, when in actuality they walked away because of weakened faith in the dollar).
