If the government decided to follow Mr. Beast and cure blindness
It would cost 10x as much, take 10x longer, and somehow the result would be more blind people than before

Do what you say you will do
Create an environment that gives kids the tools they need to develop delayed gratification and therefore long term success

Children who grow up around adults who consistently make promises that never materialize will learn the world is an untrustworthy place
The reasonable way for them to live is to take everything they can get now, because the “greater future” is just a fantasy

The full story shows that delayed gratification is a skill you can learn (and train)
Yes, delayed gratification is a necessary trait for long term success
But kids learn delayed gratification in environments of trust - not lies

It turned out that in the marshmallow test, the kids who had been lied to ate the marshmallow
Smart. Why delay for a reward that will never come?
The kids with the trustworthy adults displayed delayed gratification.
Also smart. Delay and get a better reward.

Prior to the experiment, the kids were in an “art room”
The adult left the room and told the kids they would be right back with crayons
For half the kids, they came back shortly with the promised crayons
For the other half of the kids, they never came back

You’ve heard of the marshmallow test:
Kids who displayed delayed gratification ended up being more successful later in life
But they didn’t tell you the whole story.
Those same kids participated in another experiment immediately before…

Levels of CO2 that were too low have historically threatened life on earth
Higher CO2 levels have helped life thrive
Quote Tweet
This peer-reviewed paper I published in 2017 has never been refuted on a single point. Human CO2 emissions are the salvation of life on Earth, not its demise. It was the marine calcifying species that reduced CO2 to dangerously low levels. #CelebrateCO2!

Default is inevitable
Either in dollar terms or in purchasing power terms
There is only one way to avoid it:
A miraculous, exponential spike in productive output to pay for the deleveraging
This is unlikely but not impossible

Of course it’s a scam
The Fed will never give you back what they stole from you through inflation

Have you received an e-mail, claiming to be from the @federalreserve, saying that money is owed to you?
It’s a scam! Fed employees never directly e-mail the general public unsolicited, ever!

Fiat money is already a private ledger system
Banks have private lists of all transactions and accounts - ledgers
A CBDC is simply centralizing these into one ledger

From the beginning of the Fed, the goal was gold confiscation
FDR just completed the plan
Quote Tweet
Here’s a nice blast from the past — post Allied victory in WW1. The Federal Reserve Bank admits that #gold is far more important to the government than it is to the individual, & that Fed necessity to confiscate your gold to replace it w/ worthless paper will continue until quote

There is a type of socialism that actually does work
Free market socialism
Where individuals voluntarily pay into a pool that “socializes” certain costs or losses for members
It’s called insurance

The Fed is going to need to do QE just to pay for the interest expense from higher rates on government debt.
Good morning.

Government spending fell from $93b in 1945 to $30b in 1948
Real non-gov GDP increased by 29.5% in 1946
The biggest 1-year expansion in all of US history just HAPPENED to be during a gargantuan collapse in govt. spending
Probably just a coincidence though…

It was not a malfunction on our end and it's never happened before.

It's possible the Fed begins to separate rate hikes/cuts from balance sheet policy
This could mean selling assets while cutting rates - or even the opposite

This is why old coal plants aren't being turned into nuclear plants
Too much radiation for it to pass nuclear regs

For clarification, I don't have chickens.
I'm from people with chickens to see if there is any connection to the current egg shortage (e.g. caused by popular feed)
So far, comments indicate no connection

I have a question for anyone with chickens:
Have your chickens recently stopped/slowed laying eggs?
If so, have you tried different feed? And did it help?

Learning money basics (budgeting, getting out of debt, auto-investing) won’t make you rich
But they’ll turn you into the type of person who can
If you never learn to invest 1% of your income, you’ll never be able to invest 20%, 50%, or more.
