Trying to lock up trump -> makes people more sympathetic in terms of votes and campaign funding

Censorship on Twitter inspires nostr

Financial Fuckery especially 2008 inspires bitcoin 

 Almost boosted and zapped, had me till minimum wage lol. Profits have kept up with inflation, and so have consumer prices, it's bullshit that wages doing so would somehow wreck everything. 

 Ok so let's make the minimum wage $1000 an hour. Would be good right? We'd all be employed 

 Just pointing out the reality of inflation theft. How are people who aren't self employed supposed to fight that? Saving in Bitcoin for sure, but for those with more immediate needs direct action is necessary, and that translates banding together to fight for higher wages. 

 If you raise the cost of something, you sell less.  Would you agree with this?

If the “minimum Nostr zap” was $100.  You’d zap less often. 

 Yes in a vacuum but there is a political struggle outside of raw market forces whereby people are kept poor, vulnerable, and always working. This has artificially stunted wage growth. An average week's pay buys way way less now than it did 50 years ago, or even 10 for that matter, yes? Why advocate for burying people inside the Fiat Trap? 

 Yeah and that force outside the “raw market” is government 

 Yes, but actually no. The ability to enact and enforce laws is expressed through the government, but different interest  groups are constantly fighting for the power to influence the government. The elite pretty much dominate that struggle, obviously, and are successfully suppressing wages as the dollar debases, pocketing the difference and putting it into real assets. 

 Yes I agree with this.  And WHY do these elites influence government?  Because it has power.

So the less power government has, the less these leeches will push to take control. 

 The govnt only has  this power because it is privately owned, because they aren't actually govenring in the interests of anyone except capitalists.  Corporations and govnts are one and the same thing.  Just as security guards at nightclub are part of the business of the nightclub. 

 There's never going to be the utopian government you desire.  It doesn't exist.

At least with a private business, it is voluntary.  Government is force.  You're interested in blind allegiance to the crown.

Hey maybe instead of you owning your nostr key, we should have the government decide what you can type?  Let’s have a vote! 

 I don't like what he writes. So we are now 2:1. Let's censor him. He doesn't need free speech anyways. 

 No its corporations, and greed.  They don't need govnts to exploit people, it might help, then again it might not (depends on the govnt) but they absolutely can and will (and have) in govnt free societies. 

 Never interrupt an enemy in the process of destroying themselves. 

 Ok. I see it from the roman empire's perspective.

Circumvallations (siege walls) are just like bombs, they also blow in your face when you try to harm someone.

That's why you can't circumvallate those who truly master the free market. Free markets are like hulk, bombing them just makes them stronger and stronger
