@grok can socialism work mathematically? Is it possible for central planners to effectively allocate capital?

Today, we're making Bitair's miner open source. We built Bitair around a simple idea: make Bitcoin mining part of everyday life. A HEPA air purifier with a built-in 1.2 TH/s solo miner. The ultimate orange-pilling device with an easy setup. 🍊

I am heartbroken by the loss of Adam Robinson, his wife Helen, and their children Emma and Charlie. Adam was an early member of @PrincipledBus. He was fun, energetic and always willing to help others. We will always remember them, and invite others to share a memory: principledbusiness.org/in-me…

The answer isn’t getting the right person into power. The answer is limiting power so that the person doesn’t matter.

"We’ve never had such amazing privacy technology as we do right now. You’re way more empowered than you realize.” -- @naomibrockwell at today's @PrincipledBus Summit
Replying to @naomibrockwell
@naomibrockwell gets it, and @JamesCHeckman brings important insights on this important panel about the lack of privacy we have at the @PrincipledBus Summit. Many groups are building technology for a freer future.

One of the best ways to help someone is to stop stopping him from helping himself.

The safe life is the riskiest life there is, because it risks the wasting of itself.

"Words have specific meanings. Unfortunately, capitalism is frequently misused by supporters and critics alike. Too often, what people defend or condemn is not free-market capitalism at all. Although distinctions exist among capitalism, free enterprise, and free market, for the purposes of this essay, I use capitalism to mean free-market capitalism: an economic system based on private property, voluntary exchange, competition, freedom of entry and association, and freedom of contract—including wages negotiated without government-imposed minimums." - Ninos P. Malek

🚨 MILTON FRIEDMAN (1978): Milton AGREES with Jane Fonda on the dangers of "Big Business" extracting favors from "Big Govt". Milton states he is Pro-Free Enterprise and NOT Pro-Business. Do you think we could get @BernieSanders to watch this?

A lot of negative educational rhetoric sees a cool thing and responds "but this won't work for ALL kids" Yep, actually almost nothing works for ALL kids So, we need more options, more tools, more parents steering their kids education 🤷‍♀️

"This isn't working. I'm going to build something better." After an $8,000 bill for his daughter's simple procedure was denied by insurance, Andy Schoonover started paying cash and founded CrowdHealth. Today it helps tens of thousands of people fund their healthcare. What frustration could be your next business? Link in bio.
