As of March, 4, 2020 the total value of all Bitcoin was "only" about $160 billion U.S. dollars, a drop in the bucket compared to the U.S. federal deficit. Also there is only a finite number of bitcoins that can be mined. https://www.investopedia.com/tech/how-much-worlds-money-bitcoin/ https://blockgeeks.com/how-many-bitcoins-are-there/

Yes. The uni-party is nothing but a bunch of sheeple.

Meat plant workers to Trump: Employees aren't going to show up https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/29/business/meat-processing-plant-workers-reaction-executive-order/index.html Perhaps employers in these industries should offer some form of hazard pay if they have not already. Money talks.

A Kentucky Family of 7 Didn't Practice Social Distancing. Now Child Services Is Investigating the Parents for Abuse. https://reason.com/2020/04/28/child-services-kentucky-social-distancing-covid-19-family-parents/ Back at home, the authorities confronted Bill and Kristy, who discovered that someone had called in an anonymous tip claiming that a mother of five had taken her children out with a man who wasn't their dad, and they had bruises on their arms that indicated rough grabbing. The investigator proceeded to question the kids away from the parents, and he made at least one of the boys take off his shirt to look for bruises. Kristy told Mason that the investigator wanted to do the same with the girls, but she objected, so he only pulled up the girls' sleeves and took photos. Already, there's a problem: If the kids were wearing long sleeves (it was a cold day), how had anyone spotted bruises? Of course, the caller got other information wrong, too: Bill was very much the kids' father. The parents presume the call came from someone inside the bank, since it specified five kids rather than seven. Whoever the caller was, they provided the exact kind of information—bruising, suspicion persons, etc.—that prompts a CPS investigation. When Bill handed over his license, the investigator could see from his last name he was not an "unrelated male." And when the kids showed him their arms, he could see the bruises didn't exist. Case closed? If only. When I spoke with Mason by phone, he explained the idea of an "off ramp." In theory, he said, once an investigator gets to a home, checks for the supposed crime and comes up empty handed, he or she should turn around and leave—i.e., take the off ramp. Anything else "is such a terrible thing and a waste of time." But all too often, investigators insist that they must robotically keep probing: opening cabinets, looking in the fridge, questioning kids. This Kentucky investigator even questioned the family about which homeschool curriculum they were using, as if that had some bearing on the case. That's why the Home School Legal Defense Association, as well as its allies who make up United Family Advocates, have been trying to get "Off Ramp" legislation passed. Once an investigation comes up empty-handed, the investigator should simply leave rather than get started checking off a giant list of possible problems. The groups are also hoping that some day the states will outlaw anonymous reporting. That way it would be harder for people to weaponize the system against families that got on their nerves. Currently, it's just far too easy to bring a case into existence. What's more, parents in Kentucky—and the rest of the country—also deserve a law like Utah's Free-Range Parenting Bill, which says that simply taking your eyes off your kids is not neglect. Neglect is blatant disregard for their safety. Especially in these times, parents who want their kids to wait in the car or even at home, rather than dragging them into stores, should be able to make that sensible decision without fearing an investigation—or worse. The HSLDA's lawyers are working with the family. But the state gets 45 days to close an investigation, and Mason said it can easily get an extension, turning a time already tense with pandemic fears into a protracted period of torment. Never let a good crisis go to waste, in this case letting the state interfere with the lives of law-abiding citizens. Shameful.

Wow. How so?

Yep. He is the cause of every misfortune experienced by Americans today. Wouldn't you agree?

'Bring the president down here': Indiana meat plant workers angered by planned Trump order https://www.indystar.com/story/news/health/2020/04/29/trump-order-on-meat-plants-shocks-indiana-workers/3042245001/ Good idea from Mr. Harris to have Mr. Trump work on the Tyson production line. He should bring Mr. Pence along for good measure.

'Why Is a Liquor Store Essential and I'm Not?' Asks Store Owner During N.Y.C. Coronavirus Lockdown https://reason.com/2020/04/28/why-is-a-liquor-store-essential-and-im-not-asks-store-owner-during-n-y-c-coronavirus-lockdown/ That is a fairly easy question to answer. The liquor stores most assuredly bring in more tax/excise revenue for N.Y.C. than upscale clothing establishments.

All the uni-party sheeple are falling in line.

Please elaborate. If the implication was that the reason these youth may be in an unsafe situation was the environment in which they were currently living/residing (neighborhood violence, gang activity, domestic violence, etc.) it is almost certain getting out into the woods and hollows of Indiana for an amount of time would be a safer environment. Unless one is deathly scared of ticks, raccoons, and squirrels, all of which have simple ways to reduce their "threat level".

Thank you for the update Bobref.

Trump to order meat processing plants to stay open https://apnews.com/67cb4bad7ffe500beabdf8e7e7efea5d I assume this order doesn't force individual employees to return to work at a facility that they may deem unsafe? Or will meat processors like Tyson be force to fire those employees who refuse to return to work as they try to stay open due to this asinine DPA legislation?

They'll be safer in the woods.

And it was the children that I was referring to.

It's Spring, and the woods and natural places here in Indiana are beautiful. Go for a stroll in the woods, take a hike, sleep out under the stars. Your soul will be better for it.

It's April. Football is a Fall sport. It should be the farthest things from these kinds minds right now. Over-competitive adults once again complicating a simple game played by children.

After COVID, Is the Buffet Yesterday’s Leftovers? https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/will-covid-kill-the-all-you-can-eat-buffet/ Both Chinese restaurants in Frankfort are currently closed; both offered a buffet along with carryout, but the buffet was the huge percentage of their business.

I've noticed that sometimes the GID forum software balks when you post something with a lot of quoted text/pictures and the entire thread is large, like 10+ pages. The result of this can be duplicate posts. No biggie, I'll delete/hide two of them for you.

COVID-19 Is Teaching Us Decentralization Is Needed More Now Than Ever https://mises.org/wire/covid-19-teaching-us-decentralization-needed-more-now-ever We are indeed living in the strangest of times when LA Times columnists are expressing sentiments that better belong in a passage of Human Action. The jury is still out on whether this is merely oppositional posturing from the Left, but any kind of conversation entailing the restoration of federalism is a welcome surprise. The “authorized” right can generally be counted on to disappoint its constituents who genuinely believe in small government principles. To their credit, there have been some bright spots on their side in the present pandemic. States like Texas have gone out of their way to declare gun stores essential businesses and to deregulate several parts of its economy at a time where bureaucracy is impeding various vital economic functions. Elected officials like State Representative Matt Gurtler in Georgia have raised the stakes by floating a proposal that would allow law-abiding Georgians to concealed carry anywhere. South Dakota governor Kristi Noem projected a stark contrast in her relatively lax approach to handling the pandemic. Jeff Deist used her example as the basis for several pragmatic measures that state governments can take to reopen their economies without throwing civil liberties into the wood chipper. No doubt there is much work to be done, but we can find glimmering signs of promise every now and then. We need to move beyond the stale platitudes of trying to fix politics in DC. The chattering class’s lamentation about the divisiveness of politics is frankly silly. In some ways, polarization is our friend. The all-too-familiar ratchet effect has been largely put on hold thanks to the fact there’s no way to fast track certain power grabs such as gun control, thanks to the political division present in the current Congress. This is one case where partisanship can be used against itself in a way that keeps everyday people safe from DC’s antiliberty ruses. Gridlock is usually the next best option when no form of government reduction can be attained. Nevertheless, partisanship does have its limits in DC, as evidenced by the ease with which the monstrosity of a stimulus bill was able to reach Trump’s desk. Hence why decentralization is the x factor that Americans must tap into to break out of its managerial trance. If Californians want to give up their rights during a quarantine, they can go ahead and knock themselves out. Other states will shine as beacons of reason as they turn to more practical alternatives that balance public health and basic freedoms. Thanks to decentralization (and the Tenth Amendment), America has multiple laboratories of policy experimentation across the nation. Competing jurisdictions allow us to see what works and what doesn’t. Not all states will have the same policies. Others will enjoy certain liberties, while others will have fewer freedoms. That’s how the cookie will have to crumble. We must understand that the biggest threat we face in America isn’t the disparity in gun laws or tax policy between states like Texas and California, but rather the massive managerial state that has consolidated in Washington, DC, which engages in large-scale behavioral modification and usurpation of local governance. Extricating ourselves from this parasitic entity will be the greatest challenge of the twenty-first century, but it’s a battle worth taking. Agreed.
