This is part of common core math
Making Tens (and Hundreds): Composing and decomposing: Students learn to break down numbers to make friendly numbers like 10 or 100, which are easier to add. Example: To add 8 + 5, they might see that 8 needs 2 to make 10. They could take 2 from the 5, leaving 3. Then, they add 8 + 2 = 10, and 10 + 3 = 13.
They are teaching new students this
2.3 billion dollars in physical currency
21.8 trillion dollars in total currency
8.5 trillion dollars in debt owned by foreign countries
36 trillion dollars in debt total
Foreign entities are promised half the current total supply of USD
Oh it would be an absolute mess
Last state out has to pay the national debt!
US holds like half the debt of the world. That would be a really interesting scenario.

Agreed, the only time I’d want subtitles are translations. And even then it’s not optimal
Yes that’s a physical asset.
Silo full of grain is known as a future or a commodity. I might not have the Silo or the grain physically in my possession, but my note says that I own it.
BTC is a commodity and commodities are very similar to stocks
BTC just isn’t backed by anything
A corporation is an entity
It has assets and profit tied to it. The “share” is a share of that.
Is a share worth it is debatable. But the share is a physical piece of the corporation
Same can be said about traditional stock markets. The prices are entirely fictional there, too.
Not true at all.
Microsoft has 7.4B stocks outstanding.
Microsoft has a valve as a company.
Owning 1 stock gets you 1/7.4Bth of the physical company.
If Microsoft goes bankrupt or dissolves you could get some value out of your share.
There are 19.9M BTCs
BTCs have no intrinsic value
Owning 1 BTC gets you 1 BTC
If BTC goes under you get nothing
The stock market does have artificially inflated/deflated prices but they are roughly based on a company’s value. The stock is backed by the company.
Is a private jet an operating cost?
You have to understand what profit is.
If I make a church, collect 1 million from my congregation. Then, I pay myself 1 million for the job of being the pastor.
My business, the church, is non-profit. It had 1 million in revenue and 1 million in expenses. No profit.
Now, I would be dumb to pay myself the million as a salary because then that million gets income taxed. I’d “buy” 1 million dollars worth of bibles for Uzbekistan and never fulfill the order or something. Launder it.
The idea of why the church doesn’t get taxed is sound. People pay income tax, church collects taxed income, church spends taxed income to better community.
They are essentially supposed to be a middle man. If i took my taxed income and donated it directly to buy bibles for Uzbekistan. Then it doesn’t make sense for my money to be taxed again. So if i give my money to the church and they give it to Uzbekistan, then why tax it?
Problem is our tax code has loop holes
A church was never supposed to buy a private jet. Yet it has become a business expense.
Smart switches are so nice
Going to bed? One touch of a widget on my phone’s home screen and all my house lights go off.
Front porch lights need to be on a timer? Smart switches do that
I recommend Kasa brand. Look for refurbished ones and you can get them under $10 a piece.
Easily worth ~$8 dollars per switch if you’re doing it new.
I think worth ~$12 if you’re willing to replace yourself
You can make money on the stock market when it goes down
You hate standard time
DST moves the sun an hour later in the day
You can not simply “shift” billions of dollars from one currency to another.
As much as the rich people with billions want to get rid of the USD, the people willing to give GBP or Euro for USD don’t have to accept. Why would they want to be holding on to the USD if the others don’t?
They could be slowly doing it right now, but if the shit hits the fan, the exchange rate would jump.
Walmart spent millions on rfid trying to do this. Howevera cart full of razor blades would always not read something so they gave up.
My point was Walmart, Sam’s parent company, spent millions and carried it out in their other store. I don’t know if it’s rfid, but I’m sure their research in it overlapped with the way they implemented it in Sam’s.
My Sam’s Club has two big arch camera things that scan your items as you walk past. Person at door that normally scans ~3 items and receipt, just waves and says “You’re good to go!”. Been like this for months.
Scan and go is amazing.
The arch is kind of cool but they just had to scan ~3 things manually before so it’s not that game changing. But nice.
Sam’s Club, owned by Walmart, does this basically.
You scan items with your phone, check out, then walk under this arch camera things to leave, I haven’t been stopped to be manually checked in ages.
One day people will realize that you can make money when the stock market goes down
Causing it to go down is much easier than making it go up
Smart people looking to make money on a declining market told him some “smart” stuff to do. He believes it is smart. It is smart for the people that profit. Just hurts so many.
He believes he is special, like some kind of perfect business man where the “deals” always get done and work out in the end for him.
He has been used his whole life like a rich monkey to make others money thinking he was the brains behind the whole operation
Have you tried an auto rotating mechanical pencil?
Other mechanical pencils suck because you get a flat side on the lead. An auto rotating one fixes this problem and makes it like new everytime you pick up and put down the tip to write.
You didn’t read the article.
Trump is saying if he takes away Elon’s subsidies, Elon would be forced to pack up and go home.
Not that he would physically deport him.
It’s a misleading title
