Let me ask you a question, do you really feel future generations will know anything approaching the freedoms we still have today?  Do you think even the freedom that children had in say 1985 will ever be restored?  Have you ever considered the progression of the loss of freedom in this nation? I am talking going way, way back.  It was said of the Native Americans prior to the founding of our nation that “never have there ever been a people who were so free”.  While a valid point, it isn’t exactly true, as many such people were as free … Continue reading →

To be clear there is at this point no risk on the long term holding of Bitcoin at this point in history.

Short of nuclear war and a ELE nothing can stop the inevitable. The only Bitcoin risk now is not having any. Join Me Today to Discuss… The time to argue about Bitcoin being banned or going to zero is over The time to discuss block sizes … Continue reading →

I am the grandfather of a Gen Alpha and a GenZ grandson.  My granddaughter is at the elder age for a Gen Alpha and my Grandson at the lower age of a GenZ.  The take away from that is demographers be damned they are close in age and will both come up in their “prime” in the 30s. I was talking with my wife last night about how I am sometimes hard on my grandson due to his very strong inclination to attempt to avoid anything that appears like work at all costs.  Including the very easy chores that he … Continue reading →

Join Us Today as We Discuss. The problems with trying to feed a community or family with just a garden What silvopasture is and why … Continue reading →
