Stuck In The Middle With You (Common Ground Thread)

Voting should be on blockchain. Everyone gets a token, “gives” that token to their candidate. Candidates with most tokens wins. Tokens should be able to be completely viewable from creation, to voter, and to candidates.

Full disclosure:  I have no idea what I am talking about and am mostly a moron.

Agree. Same block chain or  authentic token concept could be applied to loads of stuff. Like is it a real picture video you took with your tokenized iPhone or is it an AI modified photo or video?

A lot of people like to talk about using quadratic voting with blockchains.

Apple, facing tariffs on Chinese imports, says it will invest $500 billion in US facilities

The headline from CNN is probably giving too much credit to Trump’s tariffs, but the tariff threat is clearly playing a part in this.

Is this good news?

I think it’s good news that Apple was able to convince Trump not to impose more tariffs. I assume a lot of Apple’s “investment” in the US was already planned, but I certainly don’t think it’s a negative either way.
