I appreciate many of your posts. I’ve seen them since I started lurking some time before Feb 2022.
You are right that sometimes I focus on the negative. But not always. One thing I do dislike is an echochamber, where everyone has to be on the same page for everything or else you are outcast or automatic “troll”. This doesn’t happen here much because of the lack of tabulated upvote-downvote scores. I’ve said this before, and I’m not trying to provoke, but I do find it a little strange that in so many of your posts here you rail against the “God of Mammon”, and yet you so often link to Zero Hedge articles. I find that website (especially the comments) to be the epitome of God of Mammon worship (now full-on Trump worship again). Nonetheless, it is a useful website. Sometimes I seek out the most “downvoted” posters there, the ones who don’t care so much about “downvotes”. The commentators there really seem to put a big premium on their social media scores. Just hate to see that kind of silly echochamber being promoted here. Peace and best wishes.
