Key sentence in a story that is interesting on many levels.

"But the dollar is a fiat currency, which means that its value does not depend on the backing of any assets the government owns."

Failure to understand this is the foundation of the #DeficitMyth, the convenient excuse for destroying the US government.

What's the deficit myth besides being expedient?

See L. Randall Wray's "Making Money Work for Us" or the very compact "Money for Beginners."

about fact checking funny story. Forbes recorded live a speech from ex VP. She explicitly says a word that had to be striked through on white house transcript. Went viral. So they transcribed what she actually said then crossed out and wrote a new term. The video by forbes said the original speech then approx. 2 months later it changed to the new term. So they edited? most likely . To match what she was supposed to say but WAIT a few months later they changed what she said again..BACK to original recording. Sooo fact checking , funny story. P.S. I have every version recorded.

Was mich hier echt bedrückt, ist die Abwesenheit von Diskussionen um die US-Politik auf den großen Bühnen. Auf der SXSW wird in jeder zweiten Session die Zukunft vorhergesagt. Wie geht das ohne den Faschismus mit in die Rechnung zu nehmen? Hier sind jede Menge wirklich etablierte bekannte Leute, die Einfluss hätten - wenn sie ihn nutzen würden. Hier habe ich gelernt, wieso sie es nicht tun. Und das ist frustrierend. Hier mein aktueller Text dazu.

SXSW 2025: Warum ist der Faschismus hier kein Thema?

Auf der Tech-Konferenz SXSW in Austin zeigt sich, wieso der Widerstand gegen die aktuelle US-Politik so klein ist. Geschwiegen wird aus Angst – und weil es um Geld geht.

Those panels need to be high enough to get under! Who designed those, pygmies?
The whole point of reducing and capturing the radiation from the sun with a raised system is that you reduce the local temperature under the panel, allowing increased cropping and grazing by animals that can also shelter.
