Grow up with a safety net, you’ll enjoy the process.

Grow up poor and/or with people depending on you and you focus on the end state?

If the honeypot description is accurate, the wolf is real. The below is from section 5 of their complaint [1]:

> Rippling’s General Counsel sent a legal letter to Deel’s senior leadership identifying a recently established Slack channel called “d-defectors,”

> In reality, the “d-defectors” channel was not used by Rippling employees and contained no discussions at all. It had never been searched for or accessed by the spy, would not have come up in any of the spy’s previous searches, and the spy had no legitimate reason to access the channel. Crucially, this legal letter was only sent to three recipients, all associated with Deel: Deel’s Chairman, Chief Financial Officer, and General Counsel (Philippe Bouaziz), Deel’s Head of U.S. Legal (Spiros Komis), and Deel’s outside counsel. Neither the letter nor the #d-defectors channel was known to anyone outside of Rippling’s investigative team and the Deel recipients. Yet, just hours after Rippling sent the letter to Deel’s executives and counsel, Deel’s spy searched for and accessed the #d-defectors channel

Before invading Ukraine, Russia held assets across the world and they were frozen (some of it USD).

Now imagine you are a large holder of US treasuries, would you take some off the table and purchase this other asset (gold) that can ensure you're less susceptible to your enemies sanctions?

Here are some items that stuck out to me:

> As for American gold holdings, they’re essentially pointless: Fort Knox is a legacy of the days when the U.S. promised to exchange gold for dollars on demand.

> More to the point, bitcoin was created to be an alternative to the dollar, not a support for it. Far from strengthening the dollar, having the U.S. purchase billions of dollars of assets that were created to be alternatives to the dollar would at best be economically pointless and at worst would actually weaken confidence in the dollar.

so why other than fort knox, are you advocating for this position?

> Sacks said that he has sold his personal crypto holdings.

I went to his twitter account, that's exactly what he said, but that does not mean the same thing as divesting from companies that hold crypto.

Say what you will about reducing the federal workforce - are people really ok with this line of thinking?

The idea of running the govt in 'founder mode' sounds reasonable on paper, until you realize there are established rules that outline the roles of each branch of govt in a democracy. We should be ok that these rules don't establish the most efficient govt, a worthy trade-off against the edge-cases.

The most meaningful cost you could impose in this situation is to establish a direction in which innovation within your borders rivals that of your aggressors, so you are not beholden to the government of their day.

Are you saying following the laws to protect sensitive information is not worth it in this case, because it has been authorized by the party of the day?

Are there no checks and balances in place? Seems like one side that won the popular vote has taken the entire spectrum of action, regardless if they need to govern for an entire nation.

IF there is a problem, let's solve the root issue (which may include looking at the algo feeds of all big tech, etc).

Sentiment against immigration is real in Canada. You're comparing refugee numbers when in reality Canada's population grew faster than most of the G7 in 2023 [1]

We should be wary billionaires are controlling these policies.

Bernie Sanders did this interview a decade ago and he was right, unchecked immigration is not in the economic interest of the working class.

I hope citizens wake up, business interests are not always aligned with your (citizen) economic interest. It doesn't matter if it's legal or illegal immigration, there are economic realities that we should talk about - stop focusing on the color of someones skin.

If they are, they have the platform to provide that nuance. Take a look at the public H1B data for Tesla (disclaimer it doesn't tell the full story), it does not seem like they are vying for the top-99.9%.

It seems odd we're giving billionaires the benefit of the doubt. They are positioning themselves to win, and that's totally fine in the system we're in, but let's not assume they are friends of the working class.

Seems weird to be ok with slave labour and poor practices, simply because you want to ignore the negative externalities and consume cheap things (ie. undermining local economic production).

They don't need to track down every unit, but 20% of revenue ending up at a Singapore address might warrant some understanding of the end destination?
