I think it's only fair that however long it takes to paint them is the transitionary period to enforcement. Let drivers get used to it and not be overly punitive.

From reading the thing, I can't understand what the argument against a CBDC is.

How does a CBDC threaten the stability of the financial system? Whereby stable coins do not

On Gesture, History, and the Importance of Humble Leadership New Rule: If a white supremacist likes what you do, the onus is on you to describe why your motivations aren't aligned.

We deserve leaders who exemplify the traits we aspire to possess.

Our social fabric is fraying, consent of the governed is becoming a foreign concept. And political legitimacy is at risk of disappearing.

Once you accept that American politics at the national level are just hosed for the foreseeable future, you not only develop an inner peace but also a focus on state/local issues where the needs are greatest and where you can actually make a difference.

Some nights I wonder if Vladivostok will be a Chinese city in my lifetime.

Russia has one major warm-water port, Sevastopol, in the Black Sea: Sevastopol: A key port for Russia's Black Sea Fleet, Sevastopol is a deep-water harbor that doesn't freeze in the winter. It's a strategic location for maritime routes between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Russia also has other ports that are functionally warm-water ports, such as St. Petersburg and Vladivostok, which are kept free of ice by ice breakers and thermal powerplants.

For those keeping score at home: Russia is down to 3 year round ports. That is, until enough arctic ice melts and Murmansk benefits.

Good to see Google Search keeping up to date

I know the road ahead will be arduous, complicated, conflicting, and painful, but I share in the hope felt today for a prosperous and free Syria.

My hope is that love for fellow man overpowers sectarian differences.

Cheers to dreaming of a better tomorrow.

Hello Bluesky! I'm planning to retweet a lot more on this platform. Seeing as I'm starting from scratch for followers, I think this change in behavior is fine.

Follow if you like, Don't if you don't!
