Bitcoin is not used in commerce anywhere really, and has massively overhyped valuations. Most digital coins are a scam, but even this big boy is one too. Watch out.

Energy and the Economy
Energy (oil, nuclear, etc) is what drives the entire world economy. It doesn’t matter what kind of technology you have if you don’t have the energy to push things ahead. Energy multiplied by technology equals Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Energy without technology leads to massive waste.
We need clean energy or we will torch our planet.… read more “Energy and the Economy”
Fitness Coming Back
I have been training hard to regain my fitness since my knee injury. Tonight I had one of my best one mile times at 8:23 since the injury. I also have been spending the last couple of weeks trying to do circuit training most days.

They are the most expendable as most are retired and don’t contribute to the world.… read more “Draft the Elderly”
Afghanistan
I just watch this documentary that National Geographic created following a group of Green Berets in Afghanistan. The soldiers are very intelligent and motivated people who sacrificed themselves after 9/11 to join and fight for the people in our country.

House of Representatives
America’s founders originally intended us to have 30k people per House representative. Currently, we have over 750k per representative.
We could go back to 30k per representative if we had them meet online for the most part maybe? Or just use a conference center to meet.
