The Rot of the Crypto Economy Goes Deeper Than Sam Bankman-Fried

Once-celebrated crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried is now sitting in a Brooklyn jail cell

But the scammy Silicon Valley capitalism he represents isn’t going anywhere.

The reality is that capitalism often rather likes scams, as long as a) they make money, and b) you don’t get caught. Alternatively, c) they make money, you do get caught, but the punishment is not too prohibitive or long-lasting.

Oh look, now it’s not safe for my family to visit Italy.

I’ve always planned travel based on where I can legally be gay. Friends might love Jamaica’s beaches but I worry I’ll be arrested or killed. As a parent i worry my family won’t be safe based on USA border guard/president behaviour.

Now the EU is falling to hatred again. This is a dark dark age. And it’s coming to Canada, make no mistake. Pay attention to politicians. Ask questions about LGBT families please.

@mekkaokereke It’s not women’s fear that’s being exploited. Women who fear making a scene have that fear for very rational reasons. They’ve seen what society does to women who speak up for themselves. What a bad actor in that situation is exploiting is society’s bias against women who defend themselves against exploitation by men, not a characteristic of women.

@AlliFlowers same thing here. Yesterday was 100 the next three or four days should be above 100 with extremely high Midwest humidity.

For those who believe todays music, video games & movies are causing mass shootings:

You are WRONG.

If this was the case it would happen all over the world. Here in Europe we listen to the same music, play the same games & enjoy the same movies but we do not have daily mass shootings because we don’t have the GUNS.

GUNS are WRONG

There are 2 new publications today on Covid follow-up at 2 years that shed light on #LongCovid, but there are still many known unknowns, reviewed here
