  • Okay, but even if the USA can’t change the law regarding states bonds, it is virtually impossible that people stop buying US states bonds since the US Dollar is kinda like the most established currency in the world.

    So your argument is completely theoretical.



  • Then stop selling bonds and start investing directly (build schools, repair bridges, pay your employees, etc.).

    Countries don’t have to take the detour through state bonds because they can make money out of thin air. State bonds are a self-imposed and there’s no law of nature that mandates using them.










  • For me it’s toner for printers: I have a Brother laser printer at home that is not heavily used but at least once a week. I thought I’d save some money when I bought some cheap ass toner from Amazon that cost about half of what a original Brother toner costs and promised something like double the capacity.

    Oh boy… I had the worst mildly infuriating two years of printing you could imagine: always disappointed of the printing quality but not THAT disappointed to replace this shitty but still at 2/3 capacity toner. I paid money for that toner so I’d squeeze every last page of shitty quality prints out of this fucking toner!

    Last week I gave up and bought an original Brother toner and it’s a bliss. 🙄




  • Hey, of course I don’t know your financial capabilities and the height of your allowance but I encourage you to not give up on your intention to learn bass guitar.

    I don’t know where you’re located and what possibilities you have to find used instruments but here in Germany you can find used bass guitars on a portal called “Kleinanzeigen” (the German equivalent to Craigslist I think) for very little money or for free. Just keep looking.

    Also on our big instrument online shop “thomann.de” you find beginner bass guitars for less than 100 €. I am sure you find similarly cheap bass guitars where you live.

    Long story short: Don’t give up learning an instrument and have the courage to ask people around you to support you.
