Here’s my I have only had 5 hours of sleep take on Donald Trump’s win.

This election was about class. Once upon a time, class and identity were separated as the neoliberal era took hold. Democrats capitalized on identity and it worked for a while. But as our guest on @TPBPod, Alan Minsky, noted… Neoliberalism is dead. We have to realize that these new alliances that are forming under Trump are not only odd bedfellows, but because they are, they signify a new cultural and political power shift.

I have been watching this happen since Bernie ran in the 2016 primary. The coalition is building beyond race among the working class. A unity that the left could only dream of. Yet, this is not an empowerment of the working class in the way that we’d envision. I don’t believe that this will end in a worker revolution where the proletariat owns the means of production.

I don’t because this is a coalition of the working class with a different faction. This isn’t the traditional corporate-state-capitalist alliance that has coalesced in the Democratic party. This is an alliance of those who feel powerless, with those who want absolute power.

I am not sure where we are headed, but if Lawrence Wilkerson is right, this is dark.

The liberals will have yet again made it possible for the worst outcomes to happen. The left progressives (a wide umbrella that covers a coalition of socialists and center-left), unable to unite to stop the Democrats, are at their most powerless.

I really ask Democratic supporters, to wake up. We are a country that has been living three different experiences simultaneously. And just now, two roads have merged into one.

I have traveled so much around the US and the world this year. I truly believe that in the US, we have two countries in one. There’s two cultures thar have developed as a result of rural isolation and gross economic inequality. For those who have, identity issues are the only remaining issues. For those who do not, identity is the least important. It makes sense. Then we have the ultra rich, who saw an opportunity to exploit this. This where the danger now exists.

I wish I could tell you what happens next. But, what I do know is that the probabilities of socio-economic and political disasters are much higher now than ever before.

The left must find a way to bring the workers back. But I am afraid that the left has become mainly the highly educated who do not understand the worker’s plight.

And what of bitcoin? Bitcoin works no matter what but also because of what happens next. It is both a deterrent and an accelerant. We have skin in the game.


Nostr has done virtually nothing to attract users fleeing any other platform for any reason whatsoever.  Every “exodus” that has come from Twitter has resulted in a trickle of new users here, at best. What makes this time different?

Nostr needs key rotation like Bluesky, where you can rotate your compromised client key using your compromised master key to a new key, all by just clicking buttons that will instruct a compromised cloud server to perform signatures that no one will ever see and that no other user will ever check.

Without that it will remain an absolute joke.

The Bluesky team has an academic paper describing the protocol that’s a pretty good high level but somewhat technical overview. It includes how they see Bluesky compares to Secure Scuttlebutt, Nostr, Farcaster, and ActivityPub/Mastodon.

I think folks who are building Nostr apps or advocating for it in comparison to Bluesky would do well to read it to understand what they’re doing and how we’re different.

We should also write up one for Nostr.

It stands for “advanced custom fields”, allowing users to add an huge range of content editing options to Wordpress posts. It is one of the most popular and most downloaded WordPress plugins ever.


Exactly. Someone builds a decentralized nostr repository for code, even if it’s just for WordPress code, and every dev in the world will take notice.


Stripping the ACF plugin away from its developers, locking them out of the repository, forking it, renaming it, and forcing users to update to your new version seems pretty alarming.


I’m not moving away from WordPress anytime soon. There are going to likely be some major shifts in the community, but the shakeout will take time.

Matt Mullenweg (founder) got in a fight with WPEngine (huge host and developer) and he’s been acting like an entitled billionaire. He’s made moves which is making the rest of the open-source community VERY nervous when it comes to code repositories.


I’m not sure if Nostr is aware of what’s going on in the #WordPress community right now, but it’s headed toward a civil war and has effects that are rippling through the entire open source internet.

If someone is capable of developing a decentralized plugin repository built on Nostr, you’d have a million developers turning their heads to look this way. This is a much larger opportunity for nostr to attract talent than any possible exodus from Twitter.


Money, ultimately.


Yeah, that was way over the line.


Excellent question — over my pay grade. 😅


Yeah, I think people are already looking at or working on ways to fork WordPress. At this point, I suspect the community would flock, but there’s also been a LOT of talk about a decentralized plugin/theme repo.


Definitely turbulent times to be a WordPress professional. 😅


That’s the REALLY short version.


Matt Mullenweg, the founder and CEO of WordPress (biz) and director of the .org declared open war on WPEngine, the largest host. Back-and-forth lawsuits, bickering on Twitter, Matt acting like an entitled whiny billionaire, and, most recently, he revoked their access to their largest plugin in the directory, forked it, renamed it, and claimed it as his.

Awesome, thx! Didn’t know nostr.band had that.


Where do you look this up?


You shouldn’t need to.


Well, if they’re going to be part of my Harem, I hope so.


Probably 3-5 then. More seems excessive!

Also, do they like Mario Kart?


From what I’ve gathered about Carl’s life, he already figured that out in a past one and gets to just enjoy this one.


I sure hope so. What a waste of an easy joke, otherwise.


Do they have to be whores? Is there a minimum number that makes it a harem?


I’m more ska than punk.


Gotcha. Yeah, that should be an improvement. Godspeed!

As a comparison, ‘app passwords’ on Bluesky have been in the app longer than feeds, gifs, videos, and any moderation tools other than mute.

They are easy to create, revokable, single use passwords for use on third party apps and tools. The interface is stupidly simple, and it dramatically increases security of your main password for those that choose to use it.


If you build a cool feature but ignore its usability, you might have well not wasted time on the feature.

This is a very seriously under appreciated reality in both #Bitcoin and #Nostr generally.

(Not saying there aren’t tons of great tools, but it does seem to be a broadly present issue)


Can’t help but wonder where development here would be if the community here viewed cousin protocols like Bluesky as inspiration, not opposition.

Bluesky rolling out a great new feature should be motivation to find a way to nostrfy it, but it instead seems to be a guarantee that nostr will never have it. Feeds, gifs, self-moderation, and app passwords all come to mind.


Bottom right should be this… https://image.nostr.build/2d66eec51ecd42af1f1dde2953bf1f06a2d8f77e411a1c45d9444b8e05d79b7a.png

Hey, look who found nostr!

👋


Best looking client, stellar built-in wallet, train wreck of functionality.


Definitely not an average user! I’m in the same industry.

Ultimately, though, my point was that if nostr is going to be successful, the average non-technical user shouldn’t need to understand relays at all to do basic things like filter common spam.


That cat lives his best life every day.


I had such a crush on 90’s animated Harley Quinn.


This comment perfectly displays how horrible of an idea it is to require users to understand and manage relays.

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m – if you’re serious about making a client, I hope end-user relay UI/UX is high on the list.

nostr:npub1cwhy4k8qd2guyqz8t45u4yzyp4k4fhnjn573ukh6e77mde2dgm9s2lujc5 – Red means they’re no longer connecting, so you can probably remove them, and yes, he means delete all of your current relays and replace them with those.


It won’t.

Wouldn’t it cripple new user discovery? Also, having to sift through spam until you figure out which people to follow and hope they follow you back so you can access relays to filter spam is astonishingly horrible UX.


Is stats.nostr.band not working for anyone else? Are there any other sites that display nostr traffic stats?


So the solution is to *only* use WoT relays and cut off the majority of nostr traffic?


Are any relays and/or clients looking on a way to mute replyguy spam and other potential spam vectors or is this just a fact of life now until whoever is running the bot gets bored?

There are much better ways to fix it than stripping away voting rights.


No, all citizens, 18+. Any limitation after that is a stripping of rights that leads down a historically dangerous path.


This meme will also work when bitcoin is above of 58k. 😂


That’s why rural areas and states with barely any people still have two senators.

Should we rebalance that, instead?


Maybe mix it up even more?

National primary with all candidates & independents. Ranked choice voting. Maybe two rounds to help whittle it down? Top two on the final ballot, regardless of party.

This has the potential to completely upend the two party system.

Imagine how RFK Jr might have fared in a national primary where voters could have ranked him first, then Trump or Biden second, instead of feeling party or “electability” pressure to pick one of the latter two. Same goes for any other charismatic independent or third party candidate.

Probably because he has more followers on literally any other social network he has an account on than there are total users on nostr.


Glad to help!

I’ve owned bitcoin for 7+ years now, actively reading and learning about it for maybe 6 of those years, and I still feel like I’ll never fully understand it. What I do know, is that I’ve yet to see any of the purported “better tech” out there be able dethrone it. It moves slowly, it evolves slowly, and it is more secure and unhackable than any network on earth.


You can buy it from an exchange like Coinbase, through an app like CashApp, or directly from another human. No need to mine or even understand how it works to acquire it.


It’s getting smoother by the year. Self custody through the latest hardware wallets and mobile wallets is pretty smooth. You’re right, though, I don’t think custodial storage will be going away anytime soon, and that keeps getting better, too.


It’s coded into the software and predetermined. Once the block reward is given, those coins can be spent by whoever got them however they want and are part of the total.

Anyone can buy some, and yes, if you somehow find some and transfer it to your wallet, you now own it.


So, a lot of that is just memes.

Let’s start with what makes it different: it’s the first, it’s the biggest, it’s the most decentralized.

It was also a paradigm shift in technology, allowing for digital scarcity, which can’t be duplicated. When I first started using it, there were maybe 5000 altcoins. Now there are 50,000+. There’s only been one bitcoin, though. Nothing has ever dethroned it, or even come close.

As to how it changes the world, there are LOTS of ways. To briefly cover a few…

Probably scarce money has never existed before. Its deflationary nature and hard cap completely change how all money previously has worked.

The mining itself also pushed our energy usage forward it wild new ways. For mining to be profitable, it needs to use energy a lot cheaper than most people or businesses pay. As such, it has been pushing renewables forward, can be used for load balancing, and works great on otherwise waste energy. It can even help mitigate methane by burning it where it was otherwise vented.

Lastly, at least on this list, it takes control of money out of the hands of any government. None can ban it, none can manipulate it. Several have already tried and failed.


To put it as simply as possible, tons of computers all over the world are all running calculations attempting to guess the next “block” that contains a reward plus transaction fees. This happens roughly every 10. The more hashing power (energy) you put into the network, the better your chances at being the one that guesses the next block. Every 4 years, that reward is halved until there are no bitcoin left.


Gotta run out. I’ll answer what I can later.  ☺


What are you curious about?


Not true! Anyone can use bitcoin. It’s easier than you think and you don’t need to understand how or why it works to use it.


I’m also much calmer after good sex.

Monotheism has been at the root of most wars for going on about 2000 years now.


Impressive! I’ve been telling my father-in-law about bitcoin since it was $5k and he’s still stuck on “it has no inherent value.”


How’d it go over? 😅


This was in 2018, and I’m still not sure what the tip was from, but it wasn’t uncommon back then to have on-chain addresses listed in social media profiles. I got a bunch of these, at least a few this big, including some (*gasp*) in altcoins.

No. Nostr is for everybody, we want everybody and we need everybody. It doesn't work if Nostr is just full of people who agree with each other all the time.

In what way? I use it as a secondary browser. No real complaints.


“More dollars than sense” and “more horse than they can handle” are two idioms I’ve heard for this.


Used that trick yesterday.


So far it’s been ignored, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.


I love your farm pics. I live on a partially wooded half acre in suburbia, so I wouldn’t even know where to begin with that much land.


I also worry that my style/humor would eventually out me to enough people that it would have felt pointless.

Also, pet and yard photos.


I keep waffling about this too, but always end up deciding not to.


Alas, nostr has no block.


One of the perks of nostr is never seeing anyone claim that Elon Musk is Satoshi Nakamoto.


If I’m ever killed by a mountain lion, just know my last words were, “Here Kitty, Kitty!” #catstr


Thinking that 𝕏 offers free speech and that blocking it constitutes censorship is an impressive display of ignorance.

Welcome to nostr, btw.


Glad you’re able to brush it off like that. Still, it sucks to see.

Primal is definitely leading the way. No contest there.


Completely agree, all solvable, but less convinced many of them are being tackled at all, nonetheless slowly.


If long-standing UX hurdles continue to be ignored and remain a roadblock to adoption, Nostr’s fundamental strengths won’t matter. Seems to apply to feasibility, no?


Lots of things, ranging from lack of client gif selection to confusing relay UX and poor user/content discovery.


yep


I’m old enough to remember when the Packers were a bad team. I can survive it again. Plus, the Bears still suck, the Lions are the Lions, and the Vikings will end this season still having zero trophies.


Disagree. There is no shortage of valid criticism about nostr, but most of the criticism of it on 𝕏 definitely comes from a place of ignorance.


Why am I getting ads for toupées on all legacy media? My hairline has barely receded over the last decade.


I think those brands are more likely to die off before that happens. Twitter, for example, is already a dead brand.


Expanding zaps to other platforms seems like a worthy objective. Lots of opportunity to layer it onto legacy social media.

Is anyone working on this?


Exactly. Customizable with settings or just completely replaceable with universal scripting and imp/ex.


I want a customizable algorithmic feed in addition to just a chronological feed of follows.


Hit here a few hours ago. That was crazy. Temperature dropped 20 degrees, high wind, horizontal rain, then it was over and the temp went back up.

I would argue that Nostr isn’t still early, though. We’re 4 years into the protocol, nearly 2 years since Jack first tweeted about.

The adoption and development curve for a major shift in communications technology is MUCH faster than something like a shift in monetary standard – or that tech fades into history.

Boo-bies!


I believe it was leaked to a newspaper a decade ago, not sure how much was published.


I mean, it was evidence in divorce proceedings…


There was a journal. Names, dates, and a 1-10 number ranking that listed what they did together, 1 being a kiss, 10 being full intercourse.


No one seems to be working on that here, tho. 😬


Cheating is always the choice of the cheater, not the partner.


Most of them are likely using AWS. What happens when someone sneaks in something illegal and Amazon kills the account?


Nostr doesn’t fix this. Sure, the post might live forever, but when the video host decides to axe it, it’s gone.


Yep.


Wise strategy. 😂


I am truly blown away that the fact that RFK Jr. cheated on his wife with 37 different women in a single year and she killed herself during their divorce proceedings after finding the journal in which he documented his affairs and this somehow completely flew under the radar of the media while he was running for President.

If it’s even a little bit true, nostr is going to attract the attention of governments and media in a very bad way.


Ahhhhh. I couldn’t figure out the first word. Fuuuuuuck that.

Thankfully, I have seen none of that here. That said, nostr is ripe for abuse by that sort of thing, so it wouldn’t surprise me.


Assuming this is about porn on nostr, yes, it’s everywhere. Some is tasteful, tagged nsfw, and posted by the person themselves, but most stolen and reposted by automated spam accounts.

Other than efforts by Rabble and a few paid relays that filter it out, very little work has been done whatsoever on either the client or relay level to moderate, filter, or label this for those that want to.

Client feature request:

Customizable home feeds with importable and exportable algorithms in a simple scripting language.

This would allow for ‘top’ feeds based on any combo of time and types of engagements, muting certain words or phrases, elevating others, and who knows what else. All open and hackable.

Awesome, looking forward to seeing what you’re working on!


Setting aside all of its other faults, custom algorithms are Bluesky’s best feature and are implemented really well.

I work without a contract. Normally, I am better than this at judging people and knowing what work to avoid and it has nearly always served me well. I’ve only had to fire one other client, but even that ended amicably.

In my decade as a consultant, I’ve never had to take legal action against any client, nor have I ever had anyone threaten me with litigation and defamation. Until today.


Fired a client today. It was an expensive lesson in dealing with an entitled wealthy ego masquerading as a non-profit. Easily one of the worst people I’ve ever worked with professionally. Looking forward to this bridge being burned.

Had a long conversation with my wife about this this morning.

X has been a life suck for me recently. So, I’m deleting it off my phone. I’ve felt the need to be connected to it to get out more diverse content and messaging around Bitcoin. But it’s severely impacting my mental health.

My next step is to delete my personal X account and take a step back from engaging with the community there. We’ll still have nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld account everywhere. I used to tell myself it’s letting Elon’s echo-chamber win if I take a step back, that I want people to see a different perspective with my account being visible there. But none of it fucking matters, nor is worth the negative impact it’s having on my mental health. It’s gotten pretty bad recently.

Thankfully nostr, whether it’s size, lack of rage algorithm, etc doesn’t make me feel that way at all. And also, I’ll have more time and attention to devote to real interactions, working on a nonprofit idea for bitcoin publishing, expanding more pods and supporting projects/communities with nostr:npub18jgxqshg38cgzcv43zvqhnc7hjn223psy2kkmkpqt2azd9thyy4sxjc5gt and more.

One more thing, then I’m muting your ignorant ass: Christianity is NOT the religion of Jesus. It’s a religion founded long after his death that worships him.

I can’t think of a single Jew or Jewish organization that is distancing itself from Jewish spirituality.

There is, however, a centuries-long tradition of appropriating Jewish texts and culture into Christianity as a way or normalizing and conflating the two.


It’s using Christian transliteration and symbolism imposed over an explicitly Jewish spiritual concept.

No idea, unfortunately. I last watched it as part of my undergraduate studies 20 years ago.


Keep in mind while watching this that, while based on real people, this movie is fiction and is full of historical inaccuracies.

It was made as anti-Nazi propaganda to combat the rising tide of antisemitism, but was created by non-Jews, so it was controversial even when it was new.

Scenes have been clipped out of it without context countless times since its creation to warp it's message and spread fear and hate.

• I saved a single sticker, lost it for 15 years, then found it, posted it to Reddit, and it went crazy viral.
• The sticker in that picture is not an original, as the originals didn't have a white border and the font for the date was bolder.
• Since posting it, people have recreated it and are selling them online, which is likely where that one came from.
• I still have the sticker.

Here's the original image:

Does it have to be configured by someone who understands it or does it “just work”?


StrFi


Do any clients natively do this yet?


Upload to a reliable host. Best we’ve got rn.


This is the way.


I’m not sure the average human cares about that, though. They already use Facebook login for everything. Explaining the benefits of decentralization to them is pointless. Having one login for multiple apps doesn’t feel new, won’t attract new users, and might also be hindering retention.

Having a handful apps that can all do all of it and are competing with each other is far superior to the current approach of dozens of niche apps which all do only one or two things well.

Nostr needs to stop throwing shit at the wall and instead gather all the shit that stuck together into something far more polished and feature-rich than what we have now.


Can’t power an S9, tho.


So for the best nostr experience, we should be telling people they’ll need several different apps on their already cluttered phones? https://image.nostr.build/889e64d7200e434ed915738c6c25b88f0873f1d82198bd2894e823988a770bb7.jpg


Some of them have even explicitly tweeted about it, whining that they can’t algorymically get their tens or hundreds of thousands of followers again, so they dip out. Same thing has happened over on Bluesky.


Even on social media where you can’t get banned, I prefer to participate in a manner that wouldn’t get me banned in the first place.

Gonna be a lot of MAGA hats in the crowd.


Bitcoiners should be embarrassed that the largest global conference that represents this industry has turned into a giant Trump rally. Hitching your cart to a malignant narcissist is a very bad look, and it eclipses all of the hard apolitical work that has been done up to this point and still needs to be done to further adoption.


They likely don’t even know it’s possible or what the benefits would be.


Congrats! That’s huge.

I can’t speak to him personally, but  a lot of the “wealthy influencer” types don’t like it here because they struggle to get the traction and attention that they can get on 𝕏.


I believe he was one of the louder anti-nostr voices a year or so ago when people started coming here en masse.


I hope you’re right.


If that were the only marketing nostr needed and enough of a “killer feature”, though, we’d already be overtaking Twitter.

We are in 100% agreement on the underlying point here. 😊


How can one trust a domain when literally anyone can create a subdomain on it to use for “verification”.


The authority of tying a domain name to your handle was undermined almost instantly. This is just another example.

Mad Caddies is one of my favorite bands. Sort of a blend of Ska and reggae. Their earlier stuff is a bit more punk.

Yep.

I’m not sure what the balance is currently, but for quite a while there Amazon could have thoroughly crippled Ethereum if they decided (or were forced by the government) to shut it down.


I meant Amazon specifically, but if you use it in the generic, then you’re spot-on.


Close, but no. It’s bee vomit and it’s fucking delicious.


I wonder what percentage of Nostr’s infrastructure is hosted on AWS.


To use your domain as nostr verification, you’ll need some sort of basic hosting to point it to. There are probably some free ways to do this, but none that I’m aware of.

She had laparoscopic laser excision surgery and did an insane amount of research before finding that doctor. Pretty sure that’s still considered the best method.

If they recommend a hysterectomy, see if you can keep your ovaries. That way you still ovulate and create hormones so you don’t go through forced menopause.

Also, the doctor will likely tell you they may not know exactly what can/should be done until they’re actually in there and looking. At least that’s how it worked for us.


No idea where it is currently available, but you HAVE to find and watch it. Yes, it’s about endo. You will definitely cry. Make anyone that loves you and wants to understand what you’re going through watch it with you.

She’s better than she’s ever been.

What kind of surgery? She met with 3-4 surgeons before finding one that really specialized in Endo and performed the latest and greatest laser removal.

She had lifelong terrible symptoms and it was lasered off from nearly every surface and organ in there, plus a hysterectomy. Doc said he hadn’t seen many cases that bad.

She woke up from surgery and started crying because the constant pain she’d always had was gone. It’s been a few years now and she’s never been happier or in less pain. Cramps are gone, back pain is gone (except normal age-related pain). She still technically has endo, and gets nervous when she does have some cramps or pain, but it’s always far more mild and it will hopefully take decades to grow back as bad as it was.

Only real side effect was that the surgery made her lactose intolerant, which she’s still coping with, but agrees that is a minor thing compared to the endo.


Big hug for whatever you’re going through with it today.

Have you seen the documentary ‘Below the Belt’ yet?


Endometriosis sucks big fat stinky balls.


As the husband of someone who has suffered her entire life with it and recently had major surgery because of it, I couldn’t agree more.

Aha! Damus on iOS, right?

This is the port that was on PCs (not Macs) to plug in keyboards and mice, before USB or wireless.

I’m actually even older than these ports, but figured it’d be more recognizable. 😅

I throw pineapple rings on the grill nearly every time I grill until they carmelize a bit. So good.


Technological zealotry of Bitcoin is a means to an end. Users of the early Internet were zealots about it as well, as are early users of basically every social media platform. Eventually it either fizzles out or becomes a background tool that requires no zealotry.

Religious zealotry, however, is designed to never run out. There will always be more people that need converting, saving, damning, or conquering.


zealotry :

Zealotry is when someone takes a religious, cultural, or political belief too far, refusing to tolerate other perspectives or conflicting beliefs. People say that zealotry springs not out of faith but doubt. Makes sense.

You got triggered by a post meant to trigger the religious. You cited Jewish scripture to me in your argument. You ignorantly and aggressively told me my thoughts matched those who commit genocide.

Maybe look in a mirror before calling someone else a triggered bitch?


No, I’m saying his understanding of how that law works is wrong.


My apologies, I misinterpreted your initial post. I am Jewish, which is why that was where I went.

That said, show me one instance of Jews being targeted throughout history that wasn’t at the hands of a more powerful religion.


I have a degree in the history of religion in the ancient near east, but go on.

Also, yeah, that guy was just straight-up wrong about how tax exemptions work.


That was an impressively short trip from quoting a distinctly Jewish text to straight-up overt antisemitism. Bravo and GFY.


My post doesn’t say that because I intentionally worded it that way, knowing most people would see it and know what I meant, whereas religious folks would either interpret it to their own view or get triggered by my intended meaning. Seems to have worked well.


The less religious involvement in either, the better. That debate.


My use of the word ‘should’ was very intentional. Religion and government *should* never be tied together, especially in America.


Been seeing a LOT of religious rhetoric in both bitcoin and politics lately. Seems like a perpetual debate, if anything.


Correct. 💯


I love that I worded this carefully enough that both views of that debate can interpret it in whatever way they’d like.


Religion and bitcoin should be just as closely tied as religion and government.


Exactly.


What’s the ATH?


Yeah, I avoid threads just because of Meta. Bluesky has potential in the tech, but the community is toxic and it seems to be stagnating.

It shouldn’t even be that hard? Tenor and Giphy both have public APIs and documentation that even I, as a mere web developer/designer can figure out how to use.

The way nostr works, it’d basically just be a button that pulls up an iframe with search that then embeds a link in the post. That’s it.

Even Bluesky has gif search now.


Must have gotten too hot, she moved to sleep in her “cube” bed right next to the open door. One leg is sticking out, still in the sun. Her head is melting out a different side of the cube.

#Bitcoin does not belong to any one political faction, and it does not belong to the United States alone. Bitcoin is freedom money for the world.

The sooner politicians realize this, the sooner everyone will benefit from a fairer economic system without borders or gatekeepers.
