Remember when black friday shopping was a thing, an actual thing where people camped out over night then fought to get in first at 6am? Looking back, it seems that was some type of odd mass social hysteria that plagued people for a time period. It was weird. For some reason this comes to mind:

Are we getting smoke and mirrors on inflation? Admittedly, HF28 snuck up on me somehow. For me, it was just...here. At face value, I like the changes: non-decaying vote value, splitting posting and active key roles (safety), and decreased inflation. Yesterday, I
