I think you're thinking of "U=U", which stands for "undetectable = untransmittable". At this point in the epidemic, most transmission happens from people who don't know their status, and not from people who are known to be HIV+ and are in treatment.
There are evil people out there, and they fuel the flames.
Instead of building, they steal, instead of creating, they destroy.
They are driven by a belief in scarcity--that for them to have, others must not.
The people who cheer at this mayhem are fools who think they missed out. They can't stand other people making money. Because they can't stand artists making money. Because they can't stand women making money. Because they can't stand people from "foreign countries" making money.
They'd rather see the world burn or go back to the dark times.
This is foolish and small-minded.
In crypto, there is a floor. It is ZERO. It is "no crypto."
What crypto doesn't have is the ceiling.
There is no ceiling.
It is not a zero-sum game.
WHEN YOU BUILD, MERIT ACCUMULATES. THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT OF MERIT ONE CAN ACQUIRE.
The benefits should flow to everyone and not some at the cost of the others.
Matt Levine is my favorite source of insight into the nitty-gritty of financial markets. He has an uncanny ability to take what would be the most boring minutiae and turn it into a fascinating and well told story.
I don’t see a problem with what Robinhood is doing. I don’t trade stocks all day. I’m not worried about 10 cents price improvement. By the time I enter my limit price and click buy or sell the price has already ticked up or down.
I buy the stocks that I think will go up over time.
There’s a psychological impact of commissions. When you click the button you have immediately lost money. Now you have to make it up!
I don’t want to be reminding myself “ah, but I paid the $2.34 commission and got my 10 cents price improvement so I came ahead by $1 on a $1000 trade”. Or whatever the actual numbers add up to be.
If the price was $58.10 and I put $58.50 limit (so it doesn’t tick away from me before I click) and the order gets executed at my limit or less and I pay no commission, it seems like I would’ve gotten what I wanted.
How much of that is climate change and how much local development policy?
There is an ever continuing push for creating extremely high density urban areas with hardly any greenery. Those are becoming barely habitable.
Cramped offices, people packed like sardines.
Does it have to be this way to sustain economic activity that leads to prosperity? Can’t we somehow spread it out a little more and give everyone some room to breathe?
I’m simply adjusting my body to weed frequency. I need a higher concentration THC over time because my body raises in frequency.
But I live a clean life. Many mix weed and cigarettes.
To me, cigarette smokers are dead. I don’t care what they think, I don’t associate with them, I don’t go where they go.
Clean and healthy weed smokers know this.
UK is in dark ages in terms of weed culture. None of them knows what they’re talking about.
They don’t smoke weed. They look and numbers, think things, and write nonsensical documents.
That’s not research.
I smoke weed and study neuroscience every single day.
