Everything makes sense once you realize "the economy" is actually "rich people's investments".

I guarantee you have not read a single piece of actual propaganda from Korea in your entire life.

God, I remember when this was a super-secret technology, where you had to book a plane to the (recently, at the time) former USSR to get a look at some highly experimental machines that were producing itty bitty little yellow diamonds via some bizarre anoxic chemical vapor process. I read about it in some indie magazine 25 to 30 years ago I think?

Even back then DeBeers was peeing its pants over the possibility that law-grown diamonds not only existed, but were nearly impossible to distinguish from mined diamonds by sight alone. I'm so happy to see them finally get what's been coming to them.

Unfortunately, to qualify for loan forgiveness under Harris, you'd need to be a woman of color who opens a Waffle House that operates for 3 years in a concentration camp.

cops aren't going to help you, and probably don't know how to solve even simple crimes like petty theft. It gains them nothing to help you, and that's not what they're being paid to do.

It's much more difficult to "catch a murderer" when there's an expectation of real evidence.

Stripe handles the actual card details, while Cape only receives the token, which cannot be mapped to your real credit card number.

Good thing the founding financiers of Stripe, Cape, and Palantir aren't the same person.
