Why do you people insist on mischaracterizing what other people say?

In economics, Free money refers to money borrowed at low interest rates. and I made it even more clear when I talked about the need for more competition and the depreciation of the dollar. There is already too much money in circulation and borrowing at low interest rates gives room to corporations and the wealthy to ramp up prices, buy up more property and and make the lower class compete for limited products, instead of corporation competing to earn their customers dollars.

If the question of free money isn't resolved than inflation will always outpace wages to a point where it might feel like going back to the feudal times.

Ten years too late.

This could have had a far greater impact when whatsapp exodus or controversy happend in 2021. I bet they have reached a stall in the number of new accounts and donations are drying out.

I have also read rumors about them thinking about tying this to a one time payment to prevent bot registration

inflation is caused by free money. This as much as it is welcome for the people impacted by crazy costs of life, will only keep ramping up inflation.

They need to stop giving free money and make everyone compete. if you have any savings turn them to gold, the dollar will only continue to crumble

Reading on e-paper is never the same experience as paper books, that's a given. But imagine if gadgets like Xteink x4 cost less than 30$. imagine how many people in the developing can have access to them and how many trees can be saved.

Chinese entry level smartphone with 6.7 inch lcd screens can be baught for as low as 55$. the same phone with same specs but with just a e-ink screen will only start selling from upwards of 170$. all because of the price of the e-ink screen

Humans are strange animals. cause the counter argument is why do they vote the opposite way. take for example France, the left can't garner more than 30% of the vote, if we dissect further which part of this left is at least verbally anti capitalistic, than this ratio falls to 13%.

What I find interesting is how the UK is absent from these analytics, you would think it would at least come before Canada. and from what I gathered from other fediverse instances, the brits are not very interested in alternative media and solutions. A very conformist society indeed.

Germany on the other hand is very present on the fediverse and are big contributers to open source as well.

Yeah. It started a long time before Kupiansk. especially when russia's advances pickup steam 2024-2025. this year russia is struggling to advance. and even struggling to surround Kostiantinivka which is a key battle ground city. The situation is very confusing as to why the the frontline is frozen. Russia is either panicking or blindly following on plan's made years in advance.

This is not a problem of funds. It's been a choice made by the higher ups in the Ukrainian military. there have been countless times where it became evident that Ukrainian soldiers are being surrounded and the choices were either to retract them. or keep them in their position without food or ammunition until they get annihilated. And they choice was always to let them be encircled and let them fight to the last one. It's been seen in Avdivka and many other cities

Having a tendency to always read sentences in halves. I went straight into clicking the article, I was shocked at how very little remains on the bones of those men at was very disgusted at how Russia is torturing its prisoners.

I started reading the article from the bottom. and that testimony of the woman who said that since the news went public, her husband wrote wrote to her reassuring her that they have started receiving more food, this confused me cause since when did Ukrainian prisoners in Russia get to write back to their families.

I went up the article, and that's when I truly was shocked to discover that these men were not uks prisoners in Russia but Ukrainian combatants in the front line who haven't eaten for 17 days. I can't even imagine going for 5 days without food let alone 17 days. and that this is all done to them by their own commanders forcing them to defend slivers of land with zero regard to their condition. contrast that with the hundred of thousands of young Ukrainian men who fled the country because they had the means to bribe to escape. I don't blame those who are doing their best to dodge the draft in such an unfair regime.

It wont last long unless they move to somewhere like the south pole, surveillance and authoritarianism is becoming normalized everywhere in the world
