Yeah, I think their CEO might have QNAP stock or something.

It’s hilarious how dumb this is.

It supports encryption. I think encryption is only forbidden when using ham radio

Upvote cause good point, but I have to really mention that OpSec is a black and white thing.

You make one OpSec mistake and you’re cooked. Look how they got Ross Ulbricht.

Meshtastic seems to me to be easiest to have good OpSec at the moment and I really hope we can develop it further.

Bingo.

The idea that CEO’s will put morals over profits is hopelessly naive.

If you want companies to act morally, you need to implement legislation and be willing to enforce that legislation. And not small million dollar fines, serious fines like 10% of revenue and personal liability and even jail time for executives.

But the American public only cares about having the stock market go up. They don’t care about their data.

We have long passed the point where lobbying and bribing were just doing your fiduciary duty.

And indeed, it seems we are back to feudalism and you have to pay tribute to the divine king and kiss his ring.

The answer is European and Japanese bonds.

Also in part due to a weakening dollar.

I don’t have a crystal ball, but since Trump took office, the Euro has appreciated nearly 10% against the dollar. Which in turn makes it very likely that the ECB will drop rates.

This will definitely make it less painful to increase borrowing and spending.

The countries with the lowest tariffs will become connector economies. Whether governments want it or not, there is just too much profit to be made.

This is why Trump is specifically targeting those countries, but then other countries will take their place.

And the end game is, Trump can succeed, but not without a global recession and much higher prices for Americans.
