In what world is $34k not considered poverty levels for a family of 4 in the USA? WTF?

This looks incredible. But I doubt it would ever really happen. Imagine the cost of making sure that super structure doesn't collapse from age. Or building in resistance to earthquakes or hurricanes.

It's a beautiful idea, but doubtful that it could ever happen.

I just assumed you were joking. Good job on all you do!

Who said I was ignoring all that? I'm well aware. But what the Fuck am I supposed to do about it?

I drive a hybrid, pickup litter, recycle, make most of my own food from scratch, and talk about how we need to do more (like with this tongue-in-cheek meme). I ain't in Congress (yet), but even if I was look how productive they're being towards this issue.

I'm sorry. Here's a modified version of the meme:

If we all work together the collapse is not just a dream.

Hoping to speed up the collapse I see lol.

I drive a hybrid.

I recycle everything I can.

I pickup litter.

I try to be as power efficient as possible.

I'm not a vegetarian but I don't eat meat everyday.

Plus, I post memes that stimulate conversation like this!

The time value of money crosses my mind similarly. The value of this $5 today if invested instead would be worth XX in X years. Lol

That's a feature not a bug.

39% of Americans do not invest in the stock market. Fuck them I guess.

Having 2% deflation instead of 2% inflation would be good for the economy. It would be a baseline to compete against for companies and mean less people would invest in bad investments that just beat inflation.

We also need to stop this ludicrous idea of infinite growth of the economy forever in order to be able to afford to retire. It's detremental to the environment and to the quality of products the economy produces to expect such.

Inflationary policies and fiat currencies are the fuel behind both world wars lasting as long as they did.

Ancient Rome prospered with a strong currency, when they started debasing their currency it started the fall of Rome. The same will happen to us.

Who also owns some BTC.

By over 30%:

Meanwhile...

$1000 would've bought 7.388 BTC in August 2013.

7.388 BTC today is worth... $193,186.08

Tell me again which one is the best place to store value?

Edit: Downvoted for showing facts. Not surprised.
