This is not hoarding, you can call it collecting or just plain sustainable economy.
When the ultra-rich keep piling million upon million (or, in extreme cases, billion ...) without giving anything away just like Smaug in The Hobbit - that's hoarding.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

As @gregsargent.bsky.social points out, Trump *has* given illegal orders.
But he’s also so allergic to democratic ideals that the very idea of a military (or any other institution) that serves the people rather than the ruler is totally illegible and incomprehensible to him.

Nathaniel Hawthorne added the “w” to his family name because he was ashamed of his great-great-grandfather, a judge in the Salem witch trials.
it is interesting, all family trees have that one ancestor they're really ashamed of, and now we're seeing the making of those ancestors in realtime. three, four, five generations down the road these will be the people everyone wishes they didn't have blood-ties to and skims over their lives.
DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”
That’s seems really bad.

The people at CBECI were kind enough to send me a copy of their updated Bitcoin power consumption data
At the end of 2024, Bitcoin's total consumption for 2024 *did* end up matching that of Pakistan. 2024 saw the biggest jump in power consumption ever. Absolutely wild stuff ->

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

It’s probably too late. I doubt many companies will lower their prices.
So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?
