Assuming you can find a buyer who will process that crypto, without touching either of those payment processors. All the crypto evangelists seem to forget the major crypto payment platforms are in use because you can actually rapidly exchange your crypto for that thing you can actually pay your rent with - but those function largely on the backbone of big payment platforms to trade that crypto into cash for the merchant.

I had to make these when I sold cellphones. So much sock money.

More specifically, Epstein didn't really actually WORK. Managing Wexner's accounts likely didn't take much time out of his day, and with how many flights we knew he was taking, it's likely that his trafficking and "women on the younger side" took up a significant portion of his time. You simply are not "best friends" with a guy like that, and spend all the time with him that Trump did, without getting a lot of that mud splashed ALL over you.

"Exit founder", AKA "my golden parachute is firmly welded to my back at all times."

I had a coworker who could only cook chicken. The only way she knew how to cook it was boiling it in a saucepan on high heat for about two hours, like her mom did. No salt, no pepper, no seasoning at all.

Either that or she's an actual rich person and just cosplaying being poor because there's a lot of rich fucks who like to backpat themselves for their "asceticism".

The worm that keeps getting put into payment processor's brains is that they might somehow be held criminally liable for games people purchase. It's like telling a bus driver that they might be liable because they gave a ride to someone who robbed a store.

I was about to say, wasn't Germany a serious ally of the US until about...oh, 8 months ago? Same with Japan. What could've changed? I wonder.

Arguably, taking off on this tangent, murdering Hitler might have very well pumped the brakes on the Holocaust. Late-war letters and memos from German High Command mention that part of the issues they were having with manpower and materiel was due to Hitler's insistence on running the camps, which was a serious drain on manpower and logistics.

"Go broke so my corporate raider friends can buy up GM and sell it for parts", because all the corporate raiders forgot that you actually have to have someone who WANTS the product you're selling. Toyota or whoever isn't going to want GM's manufacturing arm in America because of those tariffs.

Try looking for worker coops around you. If you're in a decently mid-sized city, there's bound to be a few.

It's the puritanical Christianity (no alcohol ever - there's a lot of people who want to go back to a more strict and all encompassing form of Prohibition) mixing with prosperity gospel Christianity (you can't be poor if God is happy with you, and poor people must be sinning or somehow wrong with God).
