The mathematically consistent way to give newborns $1,000 so that they'll have $1,000,000 at age 28 would be to pay down $1,000 of national debt, because debt will always cost more than making money investing in buying debt.
If we make $1 mln on bonds, that's because USA owed it to a bond holder.

#boycottFIFA for their bs peace prize. Nothing is more corrupt and disgusting than creating a peace award to pacify a convicted fraud and sex offender with Nobel ambitions. Why not award Robert Pickton with feminist of the year while we're at it?
Then there's pricing...

Mole rojo con pollo y tamales nejos.
For those that don’t know, a tamal nejo is a basically a tamal of just masa with nothing inside. They are boiled in a plantain leaf.

Given the US propensity for white washing history, the Trump family will likely be scrubbed out of the history books.
Forgetting Trump ever existed is perfect punishment. The public would be better off too, after 10 years of daily fuckry/oafery.
Why wait? Imagine we all gave the cold shoulder now.

I'm so jealous cats are born infinitely flexible despite laying around 20 hrs a day, yet I've got to spend 4/5 of every day cleaning, stretching, sleeping, cooking, just to not be too sick to do it again tomorrow as soon as puberty hits.
And cats don't realise how much humans should resent them lol

This should never get easier for any of us to digest. Every single occurrence impoverishes us all. Grief, dear, anxiety, hopelessness; these are fuel for the feedback loop that perpetuates senseless crises.
It needs to stop, this is such an incredible waste of essence.
Gun control mitigates it.

School shootings need to stop. There are some many better ways to make an imprint on the world, it pains me that simple fact can't be communicated to the thousands of mass shooters in USA over the past few decades.
It shouldn't be hard to convince anyone of this.

I was so hype for #FIFA (as always), but after this "peace prize" bullshit I'm boycotting the entire competition for the first time in my life.
There comes a point when all of the corruption gets so disgusting I can't even enjoy stealing the tournament's broadcast.
It's so 🤬'n gross.

You know what's awesome about programming in Python?
If you have an issue with the language you can just change it while it's running your code.
Not that it makes any practical sense to ever do that, but like javascript, it CAN, so you will run into a code base one day that does, without comments.

Oh, speaking of which. Remember when twitter had a thumbs down everyone who actually used Twitter when it was great loved to be able to down vote bad content?
Why hasn't @bsky.app brought back the down vote???
I thought that was one of the original commitments of the platform, no?

OP meant byte not bit... God damn what a horrible post.
This is what happens when you're too busy for social media but feel compelled to maintain a presence for name recognition.
Don't be a Kris. It's bad enough we have AI slop content but human generated slop is arguably more distasteful.

A projection of superiority is a clear sign of inferiority.
Humility doesn't mean you don't challenge or object, it just means that doubt gets applied evenly between ourselves and others.
Whether from scientific, agnostic, or religious bent, all agree on a requisite equal foundation pre-judgment.

If we truly understand the value of humans without prejudice, by definition it behooves us all to opine on each other's social dysfunctions and successes.
Everyone benefits from cooperating and interacting. Only an idiot would believe they've nothing to learn based on the coordinates of the ideas.

In the old days, spies were really expensive for a nationstate to train and integrate into other countries.
Today, vehicle manufacturors and cloud appliances are maintained by anonymous gig worker job boards in third world countries to track our bathroom use, sexual encounters, and daily schedules.

If my doctor openly promoted Fox News sex offenders network I certainly wouldn't be seeking medical attention unless I was a junkie chasing a duplicate prescription.
