If everything I see in the news all the time makes me feel like the world is shit, well that's just unhealthy.

So I've subscribed to some good news channels on YouTube, and I try to limit the amount of bad news that I digest.

Staying informed of what's going on in the world is great, but not if it comes at the price of your sanity.

So read some good news, write a list of things you're grateful for, take a walk in a park, meditate in the sun a bit, and remember that overall people are kind (free open source software exists, volunteering exists, food banks exist, etc).

I somewhat agree with you. And I 150% agree that "rent seeking behavior" doesn't add to society.

But what if you want to sell a product you designed but can't afford to create it or to setup a factory for it, so you want funding, so you try to get investments, maybe by selling equity in your company. Is that not valuable to society? The people that take the risk that your product may not sell?

Can someone more knowledgeable about politics than me please tell me how 1 person can just slap on tarifs willy-nilly?

Shouldn't things like this have to go through some sort of vote in congress?

Could the US president just call up all CEOs that use steel and be like: "gonna need some donations or I'll put some tarifs on any imported steel"?

No idea what's going on or what I did wrong. I browse by "all". All I get is insults 🤷

If you have some other insightful video that argues against the one I posted please share. The video I posted represents the (quite shallow) depth of my knowledge on the subject of the economic and political situation in Argentina. 🤷

Edit: found this explaining the crypto issue, interesting. https://youtu.be/KFHWFeHYhok

That's really weird. I've heard that his economy reforms are actually working.

I hope the game is easily modable. The STALKER Gamma pack was very deep and awesome to play.

Probably. They had sex and the baby popped out right then and there.
