    Well, the experience would differ depending on what you'd eaten beforehand, so that's hardly an objective measurement

I don't want to throw away the small amount I can save at the end of each month just because enough people suddenly realized the value of the latest meme coin was purely volitional. Although the more established ones (BTC, Lite, Monero) seem to be a better gamble I haven't completely dismissed.

    Or have things stabilized enough that it's less of an issue.
    Milei's shock therapy measures have reduced inflation at the cost of considerable unemployment and poverty, which in turn have triggered a large recession. Of course price increases are going to slow down if no one can afford to buy anything other than the essentials anymore. Mind you, this is also partly the fault of previous governments for not taking less drastic measures early on.

    Fearing the worst here, I have purchased an extra few months of food, bought some crypto that's supposed to be widely adopted, even bought solar panels expecting deregulation of energy, and security bars with expectation of significantly more homeless/desperate people.

    Anon, I can send you some eggs. Apparently they never go down in value. Just don't make the mistake that shay did and consider them a long-term investment.

    You've tripped over it, Meg.

    Who defines "unregulated", and, thereby, Regulated?


    Take a large bucket of that quandary and splash it across the socio-cultural-political landscape.

    Please use those flashlights and elucidate. Spell it all out. No riddles, no questions. Just make your point.

    Merriam-Webster for one.

    I'm glad they finally banned red dye, the stuff from MAGA hats seems to have seeped into your brain.

    It's getting pretty thick-headed in here.

    You people are doing this board no credit at all.
