lol it's not rly mansplaining, but it is amazing how hivelike the response is

Peter Schiff appears to be a gold dealer per his bio so this appears to be two kinds of terrible people slapfighing each other, which seems to be the wider trend for 2020 so far

Peter Schiff is a conman who tries to make his victims buy gold
bitcoiners are conmen who try to make their victims buy butts
they hate each other because they're competing over the same limited supply of marks

Peter Schiff is a Austrian School LOLbertarian douchebag whose father, Irwin Schiff, was a notorious tax protestor and tax shelter promoter who spent over half his life in Federal prison on various tax crimes (and died in prison).

The Mote in God's Eye

My neck of the woods experienced a blizzard recently. Where I live, it was not bad. About 30-40 cm [~ 13 in] of snow, which is just a heavy snowfall, and lots of wind, sustained ~90 km/h. [~50 mph.] This is over roughly a 24 hour period. The only odd thing was the forming of a 1 m drift in front of our door, but it took all of five minutes to clean up, as the snow was powder-light. Other places got it worse. Bonavista (small community right on the ocean) got more: 70 cm (~27 in) of snow and sustained winds of 110 km/h [~ 70 mph] and gusts up to 170 km/h [~105 mph.]



The most populated part of the province got a similar blizzard.





That figure is standing where the road should be.

As you might imagine, a state of emergency was declared. This is a 30 year storm, as the last time a state of emergency was declared around St. John's was 1984.

Anyway, this doesn't seem very happy, so let me explain: people are fine, everybody's getting through it

I want to tack on some extra feel good to this already fun story. Ever since I was a kid, the idea was drilled into my head that we puerto ricans are just too cowed to ever actually challenge power, that the colonial order was too much for us to deal with, better to just grab a beer and try to scratch out a living. That wed be too caught up in political pettifoggery to actually take mass action.

Well just look at us now.

The feelgood in this is: it's really common in cspam and in general to look down on americans as being too cowardly to stand up to capitalism. Maybe for the moment, they are. But as economic crises deepen and climate disaster becomes more of an every day reality, I wouldn't be surprised to see stuff like this happening across america. Yankees are totally capable of doing this too, they're just not quite ready yet. But they will be.

at my district's delegate elections, almost everyone under 35 in the biden or buttigeig camps were elected officials, the staff of elected officials, or people that just didn't know anything about politics

the top pick for the buttigeig delegate was a staffer that was originally a kamala supporter lmao
