We own land with farms on the land and people need food... But somehow the road doesn't get built? Google rural infrastructure and you will see the problems. It's not just about building roads, they need

The thing is, you are historically wrong. Except I am not wrong, we can both be right. Google "rural infrastructure". You will see all the problems North America has from under-funding rural

There’s a big difference between dirt and a modern engineered road. And the road to “nowhere” is in the eye of the beholder :)

People live in the middle of nowhere. We call them farmers (amongst other names). “Why should WE pay for THEIR infrastructure”, people say. “If they want roads then they should pay for them” It’s not

we can just print money to pay for infrastructure. On Hive we have examples every day where people get upset about someone “unfairly” getting rewards (self voting, posting too much, etc), and valuable

I can do this, I’ve been syndicating from here to WP and Medium :)

I can help you with the WP thing if you like 👍

This is fascinating, I was JUST telling someone (well a whole group of people) that I prefer to make money than save :) There's probably a full post in this, but in brief ... We have a fixed amount of

Not really account but STEMGeeks has been the best for seeing that kind of thing, though I have to admit the M part of STEM leaves me cold ;)

Thank you! That is very generous <3

I like your attitude :) This year I was supposed to keep positive and that lasted about ten minutes. It's probably social media/trad media amplification rather than anything real I see. Discord gets clicks

From the very start, I learned the blockchain is all about Community. I think we sometimes forget, that there are people behind these screens and phones. Networking or "engaging" is just as crucial

I will give that more of a try - thanks for the advice! :) If anyone gets mad I will tell them you forced me into it ;)

I am always a bit nervous around communities, especially because I post every day - bit shy about being seen as over-posting or spamming

Ha yep the other day someone said I was a centrist as an insult, I think they actually meant "decides based on the specific issue and the currently available evidence around it" and that was

Yeah I certainly am less likely to comment when there are already 100 comments on there, and also I think that time has a limiting factor - authors are less likely to hang around 8 hours after their post

Do you think the auto votes though are looking for authors who will return the most $? It is hard to differentiate between "I will vote because this deserves it" versus "I will vote now
