RT Andrew Branca Show (@TheBrancaShow)Missing from this idiotic "analysis" is that these migrants take not only jobs, but every other scarce American resource, in competition with American citizens--housing, healthcare, education, food, traffic bandwidth, social services, EVERYTHING.That not only means less supply for American citizens, it means higher cost for whatever supply remains available.Also, they bring with them a third-world, low-trust culture that is incapable of genuinely assimilating into Ameri ...

RT Oleksandr Dubinskyi (@Dubinsky_pro)What’s happening now - with Zelensky and Umerov leaking the peace plan after talks with the American side - feels painfully familiar.It strongly resembles what happened in 2019, when Zelensky leaked his call with Trump to the press, triggering a media firestorm from the globalist media on Trump and an impeachment attempt by the Democrats.Today - same tactics. Same players. Same dirty game.Back then, the goal was to destroy Trump - and now it is again.Zelensky was at the ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)I agree with keeping any soft fork simple and working on additional client(s). I'd prefer staying with 83 bytes, the limit that has long been in place at the mempool policy level, the Schelling point. I understand about the need to negotiate, but the main ultimate goal of the exercise is to make legible content practically more difficult, and every byte of increase makes it a little easier. ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)I agree with 83 bytes for OP_RETURN. This has been policy for more than a decade, so it is indeed the Schelling point, and vs. larger limits for OP_RETURN it increases the practical costs (which of course include far more than just fees) of putting legible data on Bitcoin, which is the main ultimate goal of the exercise. ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)What a spectacular hallucination you have going! You are claiming that "racism is the cardinal sin" -- a claim nowhere mentioned in, and indeed blatantly contradicted numerous times by, Holy Scripture, is correct, and that St. Paul, St. Augustine, St. Aquinas, Luther, all significant theologians in between are wrong. ...
