The price of braille displays range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on the number of characters displayed.
Those things are expensive.
One thing about braille, it's more difficult to produce, and less space efficient than just letters on the page. Here's the lord of the rings in braille: http://www.braillebookstore.com/Lord-of-the-Rings-Trilogy. And here it is in normal writing: https://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1060442563. As you can see, the braille version has a lot more pages. (keep in mind the version for sighted people I linked is a German version covering all three books). In addition the sighted version, despite being presented as a luxury edition, is cheaper than any of the three lord of the rings books in braille. This could just be blind people being price gouged, though. But nevertheless, reading as a hobby is more difficult and more expensive for the blind.

My hypothesis is that they put the gilts up as collateral so that they could borrow money to invest. So, interest rate goes up, and the value of existing gilts goes down, because why buy a gilt with 1% interest when you can get a new one with 2% interest? Pension funds need to add more collateral to their accounts, because the gilts became less valuable.
Spoilering the Democrats is the only thing the Green party has ever accomplished.
If Russia uses nukes, Russia, the state, will cease to exist. The Oligarchs know this, Putin knows this. Only an existential threat to the Oligarchs and Putin would result in a nuclear strike. And that's why there was no nuclear response to the Kursk incursion so far.
Freedom of speech protects you from the government, who could otherwise publicly execute you for speaking out against them.
Ah, it's Mr. I didn't pay attention in Civics class.
The Greens only exist to aid the Republicans by pulling votes away from Democrats.
So, where does entitlement fit into all of this?
