And all for nothing. They got literally nothing in return for blowing a huge amount of cash and sacrificing their jobs.

It's on purpose. Keep it nebulous and mysteries and "trust the plan"

That way followers can make up their own reason for being there.

>Americans can move to these places provided that they are valuable enough

THis is the big one. It's also not that you are valuable by yourself. IT's that you're valuable on paper.

35 years old and can take apart and rebuild any household appliance, rewire a house and a master plumber? Cool cool. You got the paper work for it? no? fuck off.

For the record I am exaggerating greatly to make a point.

No no no no it's good still good it's still good.

If you just look passed the several crashes, the numerous bankruptcies, the gigantic scandal with FTX and don't look to much into the subject, you'll see that Crypto is the future!!!

What's that you asked? How is less regulation and oversight going to lead to less corruption? Never mind that dude, have you seen this ape coin? Pretty BANANAS am I right?

Not entirely, it's jsut the way kids socailize now. Posts, texts, instagram etc. Its how they talk with one another. A kid losing his phone means they're out of their social circle.

Reply to States test an electrifying idea: Roads that can recharge your EV by thinkB4WeSpeak

I thought this idea was an old one? I remember it being tested and it came down to not being worth the trouble/too expensive.

The problem was since cars were driving daily on it the roads got incredibly dirty incredibly fast (on top of natural weather and dut) and even in the best of conditions the cars didn't charge nearly as fast enough.

Maybe tech got better, but we're still a long way from this.
