Since FTX could invest in FDIC Insured banks, why can’t the drug cartels? Plus, the lie of green energy in one, single photo - Zach Abraham joins!
When a single picture can put the lie to your movement--in this case, “green electric vehicles”--your entire movement is a lie. When FTX, a clearly shady, pretty obviously scammy cyber-currency firm located in the Bahamas can invest made-up money in an FDIC insured bank, why would we think the drug cartels and other terrorist groups are not doing the same? Zach Abraham joins and somehow gets me--Todd--to tell one of my favorite stories of narrowly avoiding being killed by the mob.
What does God say?
We live in an age when politics and finance have become faux-gods to so many. But, why? Could it be that, because we were designed to seek God, in our sick culture, people prefer their fake gods of human power? We are not the first age to see people make fake-gods:
Acts 17: 22-27
22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
Proud member of The Party, Visiting Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, focused on mobility, cities & tech. Words in @CityLab, @Slate, @TheAtlantic: “Biden is giving free publicity to the Hummer EV, a 4.5-ton behemoth so inefficient that it pollutes more per mile than a *gas-powered* sedan.”
