I am an Economist and you hit the point dead center...

There are a couple of potential use cases for blockchain. Rare earth mining, where the supply chain consists of multiple organizations and not a single one of them is to be trusted, is a decent example.

Yes, yes, Leto is a pretentious asshole, but this:

This. Thank you.

How does this scene make me cry every fucking time I watch it?????

His beef is only with the ADDITIONAL tax credit for union-built EVs. 

Meanwhile, can you iPhone people stop “liking” each others texts in a group chat so my phone isn’t blowing up every couple of minutes?

You’re saying with a straight face that Catholics have not been oppressed in America?

Followed immediately by calling the police pedo guys.

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. $.05 says it’s all an influencer schtick.

Seriously. >WE< are the ones making it complicated.

Its still better than cable with cancel anytime and ability to split between three tvs (three households footing a bill), plus watching from their app. It definitely leaves some to be desired though with the buffering/clarity even on fiber.

Michael Jordan was one of the only celebrities/athletes who openly sported a bald head, and he only started shaving his head in late 1989.

Makes sense. Both companies use technologies that require the use of electricity, usually in the form of batteries, so there’s some synergy there. 

As someone in their late 30s who hasn't owned a gaming PC or console in about a decade, I am stoked for this. I've got my Stadia version of Cyberpunk 2077 pre-ordered and can't wait to sink my teeth into it. Don't need to spend hundreds of extra dollars for a console to play a damn good looking game. And I've got…

I’m having a lot of trouble believing being classed as full-time employee vs a contractor is a fundamental human right.
