According to some “experts,” there is an urgent need to remove cash from the economy. It is held that cash provides support to the “shadow economy” and permits tax evasion.

@SuperSnekFriend not sure what this is about, but it’s just fedi being fedi. We aren’t all going to agree 1:1 on things so people should be more accepting of each other or at least not judge each other harshly based on an internet fights. We all have stakes in our eyes and shouldn’t point out the specks in others’ eyes ifyouknowhatimean :anko_pray: . It does feel like there is less camaraderie and fwenship on fedi at times, and arguments can get so heated over the littlest of things. I think everyone is under a lot of stress in their real lives and at times it can come out in mean ways to people we like online. :BlobCatHeart:

>They leave their nests as soon as they grow wings
>When they meet a female they become pardners and start a new colony
>During this time the king spends most of his time expanding the nest and mating with the Queen
>once the Queen starts lying eggs the king Will start talking care of the young
>Once the young are grown up he starts commanding them alongside the Queen
>During all of this the king still has to mate with the queen everyday
>They do this for around 15 years if they don't get killed by a Predator or dissease

Unironically i think king termites are one of the few male bugs not to get overtly fucked over by evolution

@RehnSturm256 @SuperSnekFriend the problem is that people on the fedi really, really, love to get into online fights for stupid reasons and many of them came from other communities notorious for that.

TIL that a company in Kentucky is Making Wood from hemp. Hempwood is made from compressed hemp stalks and a soy based glue. It is natural, sustainable and harder than white oak. It can be used for all sorts of things, including furniture and flooring.

HOW INDUSTRIAL HEMP COULD SAVE OUR WORLD

In 1941, Henry Ford built a car out of plastic made from hemp, flax, wheat, and spruce pulp. material. It ran on ethanol made from hemp and other agricultural waste. Ford's bioplastic Model T was was lighter than fiberglass and ten times stronger than steel.

Popular Mechanics, in its December 1941 issue, reported that "Ford's experimental model was a step toward the realization of his dream to grow automobiles from soil and reduce greenhouse gases."

When Ford was building his bio car, greenhouse gasses were already in the public eye and the car started a renewed public conversation on the merits of biomass versus fossil fuel.

Neither side will make housing affordable, at least not on purpose. To do that you need the price of houses to drop by around 80%. Yeah, current homeowners will get rekt, but they weren't complaining when they were getting magical "appreciation" money and getting free inflation money in the form of their mortgage. House prices will come down when mortgage rates stay high, like 10%+, for several years at least. Artificially low rates are what caused the housing price inflation in the first place.
