RAD ENGINEERING: Band back together? – we’ll see.

  1. I have no money.
  2. I have very little extra time till February at least.
  3. I have a hard time believing we can do much without the resouces.
  4. If we WERE to be “successful”? – I think the FEDs would crackdown on us worse than bitcoin.

Yes: it’s low bandwidth, low data flow. Really only optimal for small text based emails or SMS type messaging. But there’s a lot of potential in that: a twitter that can’t be shut down. A distributed social media, open to everyone willing to install JS8 Call and set up a basic digital receive station: ATS-20 SSB SDR: $60, LOOP ANTENNA: $50, USB Soundcard for 3.5 mm phono OUT? – that’s like ten bucks. If you already have a computer, then it’s just a matter of a few basic steps. Sadly, no one is doing demos on HOW to do this. So if I am “back on board” then I think it’s about education at this point, and testing to the extent that I have the money (which I don’t).

BTW: if you donate to me the money is assumed for the podcast, please don’t donate to me thinking you are supporting Rad Engineering, because they are not the same thing.

“BULLISH”

Bullish bets on food, water, shelter, energy? – are not bullish for the human race.

“In February, the United States Department of Agriculture projected that the cattle herd could begin rebuilding by 2025.”

Well that’s next year, shit … is this good news or bad news?

Diesel prices only make sense if someone is lying BIG TIME about the state of the economy, and specifically the downside risks.

I believe we’ve been in a papered over global depression since at least 2008, and the “paper” only works for so long.
