Say whaSounds like Musk and Dump want to selectively default on treasuries.
If that goes through, buckle up.
We barely inhabit areas like Greenland, Siberia, and Antarctica. All are infinitely more hospitable than the moon or mars.We're half a century from being able to temporarily base the southern lunar pole where tiny amounts of water and Helium 3 is. Mars is 100+ years away and I'd rather deal with Titan if I'm going to imagine colonizing in this Solar System.
Ohhhhh yeahSay wha
Time to make the Euro the universal currency.Paul Krugman (@pkrugman.bsky.social)
For those not familiar with how financial markets work, US Treasuries are the ultimate safe asset, used as collateral for everything. Even a hint that some Treasuries might not be honored could bring everything to a screeching halt 1/bsky.app
Yep
Yeah if that was all he was doing i would be very complimentary of him.I want to say that this is something that I'm not opposed to. Electronic transactions would still have the penny amount. But cash transactions would be rounded to the nickle. I believe Canada (and other countries) already do this.
I'm fine with things like this, the elimination of DST, removing poison chemicals from food (Red40). What I don’t want is these things to come at the cost this administration is doing with *gestures broadly*... a constitutional crisis so he can be richer isn't worth an extra year on my life. Especially when they're just gonna find other ways to kill us all.
Yes, Canada has done this for a number of years now.I want to say that this is something that I'm not opposed to. Electronic transactions would still have the penny amount. But cash transactions would be rounded to the nickle. I believe Canada (and other countries) already do this.

The New York Times over the weekend attacked the "Anti-Trans" movement (a fire they have thrown gasoline on for years) and went nuts on Trump. Back in the day I would have said it was a "Come to Jesus" moment but now we all know it is just a cynical ploy to try and get Liberals to read their rag again because their right shift gamble burned them hard. Kissing up to Trump and MAGA got them to lose subscriptions and they weren't even able to hold on to the access they had as they have been pulled from Pentagon briefings. If they didn't have their games (which I refuse to play as it helps them even when they are "free") they would be almost as broke as CNN is...which is still better than MSNBC I guess but not by much.Also so cute to see a media outlet doing a story (actually, pointing out a print media story) about how this isn't the Donald Trump America elected.
And then Fareed Zakaria telling everyone on another media outlet that there is a COST to all this chaos.
1. This is who America elected.
2. No one cares. If they did 1 would not have happened.
I'm just so happy the billionaire's are finally getting the government they always wanted.
