@thendrix I've always thought local coins like "London Coin" or "New York Coin" made some sort of sense, and in this case a local goldback is a step up from that imo

@thendrix Free state projects are a good use case, as it might allow prices to remain stable locally instead of suffering under the deflationary pressures of BTC.

@jeffcliff "all rumours are false until someone threatens to sue"

@jk no.

@thendrix not sure if this counts as goldbacks but a friend of mine has paper gold

Made a lot of sense in the medieval era (it's basically how central banks were formed) but today I don't understand why you'd settle for a second-rate fiat/gold hybrid.

Buying physical gold makes plenty of sense to me.

A hurricane is a good reason for people to go home if they wish. Assuming the text from that Amazon worker is legit, they made them stay.

Easy for shit posters on fedi to mock people on a salary but with four kids at home the calculus becomes more fraught.

The moment you take away people's freedom to make their own choices you take responsibility for the consequences, like it or not.

Don't know much about this candle factory situation.
