I am sorry, is this a sarcasm? A credible scientist can and should be able to speak to laypeople and share their expertise. If they can’t do it in 3 hours I find that incredibly alarming.
A 5 minute segment that can be edited to lose context, sure.

I think some of modern art is a ridiculous. But… this guy has sparked tons of discussion here. Some people are questioning what is art. Others considering his marxist view (and hopefully the evils of Marxism). He did all that in seconds with sand, buckets and a crowd of people

Imagine your Roman legion lines up. The enemy is in the distance approaching you and your centurion turns around and scurries to Rome to be a politician and leaves you as you are about to go into the fight. I put my life on hold and volunteered to go to Iraq. Yellow Tim waltzed

National polls are meaningless. Essentially all this tells you is that Kamala Harris is likely to become President of California. These polls over-represent blue states not in play.
The Biden-Harris Administration has tried twice to work this tax in legislation. This tax is designed to be punitive and will discourage innovation in High Performance computing as well as green energy. Innovation is built in to Bitcoin and industry is forced to deliver.

After your stellar work catching FTX and preventing a massive issue, I can only imagine the top level work you have lined up next. Right up there with the Madoff case. Oh yeah, the SEC missed THAT too.

What happens? Ukraine in the 30s. Truckers fail to do their patrotic duty and everyone in the chain from farm to store loses their livilihood because of their “corporate greed” and lack of empathy. Then we slowly sink backwards as systems fail while elites get special stores

“One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness." That may be a little more radical than school lunches. Whataboutism is the lowest form of politics.

And yet you are so moved by it you want to argue on social media about it. If you have a different definition of modern art, great. It is hilarious that you and others here are so threatened by it. If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t comment.

Yes. It is a visual metaphor for Marxism. Basically it is a vapid TED Talk, just without the powerpoint slides.
On the plus side, the guy pulled it off without a headset microphone, and provoked thought in seconds rather than bloviating longer.

What do you call government censorship efforts, if not authoritarian? Or Operation Chokepoint 2.0? Or SEC regulation by enforcement? I do get the majority of these, not being an ideologue. Just challenging you on that one.

It means you and your family suffer so party elites can live well. It was a common propaganda phrase in the Soviet Union. Since Harris is using more and Marxist rhetoric, you should start getting familiar with it.

Utterly embarrassing. Or… is Russia, in fact, doing something in Iraq? Imagine if the journalist followed up. It would be even more embarrassing.

Ironic, no? Bitcoin is created when Wall St. and banks fails us in 2009. Wall St. and banks mock BTC for ten years and then buy BTC out using the same sorts of tactics that caused the problems in 2009.

Funny how you never see people who grew up in Marxist countries ever in these comments saying “great idea.” Rich people and social science majors from the US and Western Europe are the ones enamored with this, despite having no practical experience.
@cryptocom
I didn’t. For 5 days your customer support team has told me that my card was being transferred to a new bank and that it would be “soon”. For 3 days I was told there would be an answer in day. 3 days. What is actually going on and why is your customer support team deliberatly

Glad to see the Hill starting to realize the importance of crypto. Next they need to get the SEC to create clear rules. Since the SEC is not up to the job, perhaps they can adopt the regulatory framework global leaders are building out instead.

Yet again a complete lack of transparency and a sense of public service in the name of attacking crypto for allegedly lacking transparency.

They only got a 4 million dollar fine for it. Good thing the SEC is so laser focused on crypto since the banks are a model of perfect behavior.

No one has to do anything. But if you are a public figure, that is pretty close to “must” if you expect to have credibility outside a rabid base.
The cognitive dissonance in this is mind boggling. This guy supports blocking traffic for climate change protests and is the brother of a radical. He is upset protestors might block traffic going to his wedding. If there is a gofundme to support protesters at his wedding, I want

You joined up, did your job and moved on. Not sure why dudes who better be MARSOC are so angry about what you did. If they are not MARSOC, why are they such soft mean-girls?
@matthew_pines
Maybe that is why so many on the left think Communism and Fascism are polar opposites instead of aligned and opposite to Libertarianism? More authority of your kind. Bad. More of mine, opposing you, not as bad. No authority? Not even considered. Or some variant.
@ItsFreyaVass
@peterrhague
Odd. I never said “educated folk” are obligated to do anything. I also didn’t use demeaning language either. I suppose you are one of those enlightened types who supports all sorts of authoritarian ideas but worries incessantly about “fascists?”
@HannahDCox
After he dropped it and didn’t complain, then you buy him one and say- “you got this for not whining and accepting what happened” to reinforce the good behavior.
This tactic works equally well for socialists. Rent controls, food controls. Even the wikipedia page can, sort of, tell you how that worked out. At least for a few more edits.

I think the covering up the health of a President is far more concerning than a civil charge. As is the questionable convictions she obtained as AG and the incident with the firefighter inmates, which she claimed she “learned about in the paper.” Odd you don’t know what your own
So… not one single proposal or strategy. Just “common sense” legislation? No concerns expressed about the SEC’s regulation by enforcement, no commitment to oppose the Biden Harris BTC mining tax they tried to impose, nothing. Will anyone tied to the Harris campaign, or any
Does Krugman know that you can’t buy electricity at the grocery store? Otherwise he thinks the grocery business and power generation are similar, which is an odd thing for an alleged economist to believe:
Harris’s gouging proposal looks mild compared with the price-control hysteria. But some are writing as if gouging never happens. Has everyone forgotten about the California electricity crisis of 2001, in which power operators deliberately cut production to raise prices?

The short answer is utility. BTC has one purpose. Decentralized finance. Over simplified but… you can build everything from ride sharing apps to video games that pay you to play them on the Etherium blockchain.

to clarify.
Also, will the tax on unrealized capital gains she is said to be interested in apply to crypto as well?
@AlexanderGrieve
Well said. While a night full of platitudes is a step in the right direction, the Dems are lagging way behind in meaningful action, or even rhetoric.
I am not optimistic they will do anything but “level the playing field” with taxes, but maybe they will do the right thing.
