It’s says something about the sickness in the GOP that a congressman can approvingly tweet a video of a college student making monkey sounds at a black woman and there is no blowback from his colleagues, no fear of repercussion.

When sound money theorists caricature Keynesians or monetarists (and often seem to think they’re mostly the same as MMT) as people who think you can expand the money supply without consequence, it should be noted that this is false. In fact, if they thought that, they wouldn’t…

MMT is not actually a thing that serious people believe in. In that, it does not represent the current theory that the USG and the Fed use to justify expanding the money supply. The Fed’s theories on monetary policy remain firmly in the monetarist (Chicago School) and somewhat…

What if I told you, that you can have decentralization, privacy and security … and not use a blockchain? Well, you can! DID DHT!

A lot of what passes for political ideology these days are just reactionary positions fueled by slippery-slope fallacies.

If you want a better, non-blockchain, virtually free version of DIDs, we built an open source method at Block called DID DHT: did-dht.com. It uses BitTorrent as the backing layer for resolving a DID (did:dht:3sf8gjf43...) to its associated keys and routing endpoints.

The militarization of police in this country is objectively insane.

Did any of the people claiming to have read this bill, actually read it? Because I don’t think it criminalizes any speech whatsoever. It’s right here and it’s not long: congress.gov/bill/118th-con…
