Actually the policy he's proposing in the article is okay. It's targeting people with high incomes.
Headline misleading, it's just spin. He means it should have a phase out for well-off people. Which is a good idea if you're the government and just sending people checks.
Could have just as easily titled it "Josh Hawley wants to give away money to all Americans earning under $75k, calls Biden voters 'wealthy'."
Indeed, what is the opposite of "Whoop whoop?"
Regardless of the content of your comment, I respect bringing back eth and thorn.
Cool. Would love to dee this done for all the "Smart" appliances.
The major credit cards are essentially infrastructure, and really should not have the right to refuse to serve a lawful business.
Do you have any info or links about that?
One benefit to payment processing for crypto is that there's little in the way of material limitations on processing payments. The blockchain for a given coin already exists, your job as a processor is primarily to convert those on-chain transactions into and out of other currencies. Only requiring intervention at the point of entering or exiting dollars to and from the system changes a lot of the dynamics.
I truly don't understand how Visa/MasterCard/etc can be pressured. They are basically infrastructure.
What's someone going to do, stop using credit cards if they don't stop a store that person doesn't even patronize from selling morally hazardous goods?
I don't get how these campaigns are even effective.
I would not recommend relying on Tailscale. They have been soliciting a lot of venture capital lately and are probably going to go for an IPO sooner or later. I would not put a lot of trust in that company. The investors are going to want their money.
By self-report you've been around the block so you can do as you please for all I care, but I legit feel bad for the young OP who's so nervous and scared of being in a relationship at 22. I feel bad for him, because I remember being anxious in my own ways, and it didn't serve me well. When I eventually got over myself, I made mistakes, and I learned, but I regret the time spent in my own head.
One thing I never did was something I saw some friends do, which was the whole "online relationship" thing. It was usually limited by distance, and sometimes they'd meet IRL, and if I asked or observed my friend would seem happy, but from the bleachers it was also clear that it wasn't built to last, in large part because it was principally non-present.
Not saying people can't meet online, become friends online, sustain a relationship long distance (temporarily), or even develop some level of emotional intimacy online, but it's mediated by its nature, and the physical experience is always intrinsically more complete. I'm sure there are people whose most fulfilling relationships have been remote and that's lovely, but also I think it would suck if OP finally got the guts to go for only a half-measure and see it limp along, diverting his time and emotional energy into something that calls itself a relationship but can only really be the prelude to one at best. He'd be better off getting out of his house, finding any third space, and just hanging out. Should help him with the anxiety at least.
Whoohoo Viva Ponzi baby!
Edit: But also very little is being said here.
