  Hard assets make a lot of sense when paper assets do not.

  Real estate and precious metals are the traditional hard assets. The stock market can implode, but a home will remain a home, an acre will remain an acre, an ounce will remain an ounce.

  There are difficulties and risks and efforts required with hard assets, theres a reason why soft assets developed, but when things go wrong people trust what they can hold and walk on - and thus seek real estate and precious metals as they are certain and tangible.

  With a little more trust in the system, there are softer assets available such as bonds, specifically treasury bonds, and there are etfs that attempt to exclude the ai bubble such as XMAG, or the sp500 but equally distributed instead of by market cap which increases diversity like RSP to reduce the fallout of the ai bubble pop

  Theres a million ways to navigate a bubble, do the research and find confidence in your plan, and think about how you’ll react in various scenarios, especially when the numbers go down or arent going as high as expected

  People should know and have evidence on hand that policy and budget decisions directly affect lives.

  This is another lesson, we are individuals that are part of communities can learn from vicariously.

  There was a conversation that ended with a vote, where people chose not to pay a more taxes and to not figure out the minutia of how to run the system effectively - nor did they receive a grant from above levels of government - nor did they determine a local low cost solution - and because of that people were swept away in a flash flood they had no clue was coming like countless times in history and prehistory.

  There will always be a balance between safety and budget, just as with all other qualities, and its a constant difficulty always filled with consequences whichever decision is made.

  But some consequences are easier to bare than others.

  The next time this community thinks about floods and what to do about them they’re perspective will likely shift with the weight of the dead bodies left in the debris field, and it should be hoped that other communities who know this news understand that too.

  The effort and cost of government is for our collective benefit, because the world is rough, and by working and sacrificing together we can make it easier if we choose to.

  This article adds to the story and make you think about the decision you and your community are making.

  In the demo video, they show that you simply check boxes on which apps you want to be available or not in the dumb mode, I imagine selecting signal, and deselecting the default SMS messager is possible

  If a hurricane is aborted at the embryo stage, then all that potential energy in the water, which fuels the hurricane, is never consumed and dissipated by the hurricane.

  I think if we tried this, we’d find the oceans to heat up at an even more extreme rate, and create spontaneous weather events that we are unable to prepare and defend against.

  Exactly

  This joke is literally “but what if they were gay, haha!” “I knew it!”

  Its literally the bully humor that we’ve fought for years and years to rid ourselves of, and here it is on the top with over 200 votes.

  This is hate wrapped in a virtuous wrapper at its most generous, and way too many people are just seeing the wrapper and not what’s just under its thin facade: homophobia.

  Very pretty, this is something you’d see in a cool person’s house/office
