Gm nostriches, rolling into a dark Thursday, with a night’s sleep that I would care to forget… 🥱 #coffeechain one completed, second cup already underway and it’s just turned 6. The Keynes book I can’t put down is on fire, the maths on saving and investment made zero sense (which strangely makes sense), but the solution he found in his finite wisdom “the fact that this might involve budget deficits was not important” The logic behind the connection between Keynesian economics and Keynesian politicians suddenly comes into crisp focus. #generaltheory

Gm nostriches, even in the house the darkness from outside encroaches……. Not far off the daughter and I leaving for school in the dark! #coffeechain being my beacon of light to guide me!!!

Gm nostriches, Thursday rolling around with increasing velocity, scary we’ll be into December in no time. #dadstr locked in to visit at Christmas, request submitted for him to sort the caviar, I’m sorting the wine, so at least him and I will be sorted for festivities!!!! All the non drinkers and the Debbie downers can sort out their own refreshments.

Gm nostriches, prepping taxes for spending Bitcoin is annoying, and thievery for doing well, HOWEVER, being having to go back to early purchase, you can really get an idea of how far we’ve come front, how little what you’re spending now cost you “back in the day!!!!! A little while back I bought ice cream for myself and my two daughters, 11k sats, they cost me 80p in 2020, or getting some shit hot @Leathermint products for £80!!!! With this, I’m going to stop caring about the capital gains and not think of it as a tax paid to government, but the price I’m willing to pay for getting sats in the hands of people I want to pay!!! Also, moving forward and depending who I pay, can just do non kyc sats and just keep it person to person and “off the books”, so long as there are some figures in my tax return, there won’t be as much risk of them coming to calll.

Found a book at my mother’s house, a couple of chapters in, Marx, Ricardo and Malthus have already been covered, the questions raise on micro economics are fascinating. Can’t help feeling there are some parallels between Keynes and Epstein, how someone rises to such a high level of power, connected to so many powerful people from a very low level. He appeared to be a smart guy (academically), but his ideas certainly met fertile ground with the post crash years (1930s), so may have been something to do with politicians hearing ideas that gave them power. Epstein on the other hand, had a whole lot of dirty laundry to blackmail people, but also found people who were deprieqved and would do his bidding to keep their secrets out of the public light. Really interested in explore Keynes a little more, but maybe go for “unapproved” biographies, doubt many will include the “bed and boy” line that @Saifedean Ammous included.

Ga nostriches, I couldn’t have made this up any better, bbc is hot water after presenting bias edit of Jan 6th speech of trump, institutional bias of the bbc highlights, BUT, it’s bias to be aligned with government aims, so they’re pretty much implicated!!!!! Hate the way they present so much stuff now ,editorial bias is clear in so many areas, oh yeah, 100k people at the march in London in September, hmmm, might want to 10x that!!! Then in the commons, Lisa Nandy takes the stand to outline how the BBC must maintain the highest standards, when the little piggy has had her nose in The trough, accepting gifts from someone she later gave a role to (literally 2 days ago)

Email from HMRC, need to learn more about this, but it sends shivers down my spine (not in a good way), anyone who is self employed and earning more than £20k (less the minimum wage) has to file their taxes digitally. Talk about a way of squashing out entrepreneurial spirit with this administrative burden. But this shouldn’t be a surprise if we’re informed of this government’s playbook; Point 7 of the communist manifesto; Extension of factories and instruments of production to be owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste land and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with the common plan. So, no one owns their own company, and across the land we tear down industry and green space to turn it into “farm land”, but oh crap, no one owns this farm land so a) they don’t know how to look after it and b) no one has any incentive to use that land productively. Given no one owns their own company companies either, they neither serve customer nor make any money. How this propaganda is still being used literally blows my tiny mind. Also, how dare they refer to me as “customer”!!!!!
