I don't think it is that easy though. If you are simply trying to pay off existing debt sure, but we constantly need new debt as well so there is a limit to how much money we can print.
Practically, my biggest concern is deliver ability

> When links are intermittent and latency is measured in minutes or hours, "real-time" is an illusion. Reticulum doesn't encourage Store and Forward as a mere fallback, but as a primary mode of existence. You write a message, it propagates when it can, and it arrives when it arrives.
Let's say A and B are talking.
A sends message A1.
B receives message A1.
B sends message B1.
A receives message B1.
A sends message A2.
Something happens and B doesn't receive it.
A sends A3.
B receives A3.
Later, B receives A2.
Now what does B do with this information? Does the envelope contain all the metadata about when A sent it so B client software can order the messages properly?
I think time and again, the main thing people should realize is you should never, ever raise venture capital unless you really, really have to™.
Or at least know that your interests as a founder and the interests of those who invest in your company will not always coincide. And they do this a lot more times every single day than you do.
So the increase was 3.1% and it was "fourth largest in the last decade", which means, "barely above average growth rate". Considering that economy growth rate was the fastest in a decade except 2021 which was a covid recovery year, it doesn't really show anything abnormal at all.
F-150 Lightning was supposed to start at $39,974 and ended up at $54,780. I'll be surprised to see Slate actually happening under $30k. Having lost the $7,500 rebate, more like $35k.
I'm chuckling at the idea of pirating software in 1996.
iirc even in 1999, I couldn't figure out why Windows update required me to use internet exploder. It would take forever to download updates over dialup.
Don't remember if it was the 90's, but we got trial versions of Photoshop on some magazine CD and it was then all about searching for cracks / patches to it. These were quite small and bearable to download on dialups. And of course, even otherwise, dialups really taught all of us patience ... our generation thus knows the value of delayed gratification :).
BBS existed long before that, and even before that we had "sneakernets" or "copy parties". I assume the term "pirating" is much newer than the concept of copying software, or copyright of said software.
