During a government shutdown, the Trump administration is bailing out Argentina, whose president is fond of saying, “The state isn’t the solution, it’s the problem.”

Before the AI Boom I was rallying the troops to knock down crypto mining in South Florida. This is over the top. And in my opinion, because #ETTD is going to lead to a crash in the financial markets.
