Don't even need to bring force into it. Can you imagine "I'll give you $20 if you transfer your vote on issue X to me"? Seems like it's basically just handing the government to the billionaire class even more than we already do.

It seems to me like joining the military is arguably more deserving of the phrase "selling your body"; you're basically signing up to get injured or killed.

As soon as he gets that idea, he'll start talking about how Kamala is paying actors to be in her audience.

Multi-account containers is one of my favorite things about Firefox. I use Temporary Containertabs too, so anything not in an explicit container is in a brand new one of its own.

10 years ago would have been 2014; at that point 25 Bitcoin would be a good chunk of cash:

The price of bitcoin opened the year at $770, according to the CoinDesk Price Index. By mid-December, it was trading in the mid-$300 range. This represents a drop of more than 50% from the start of the year.

It'd be interesting to know when this was actually from; it's a great screenshot even without the exact details, though.
