Really lol, this casino is so wild it’s nearly unbelievable that it’s real money There has to be so much quasi fraud with options and these major moves that mint millionaires over nite , specifically regarding the short squeezes and the timing . I’m Finally squared away on Binance and Coinbase The charts of so many of these crypto’s are unbelievable. The amount of people who have taken 10 grand in the last year and rode it to 100-200K is definitely the highest on record . You just don’t see 2,000% annual returns , and how many crypto’s have done this last year .You just do not see these gains annually in any other year at this magnitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s just it though, there’s not a lot of regular Joe’s they can casually throw 10 or 20k at a meme coin like Shibu or whatever but the gains have been mind boggling. I don’t have a lot of money to play with but whenever I can spare a few hundred dollars I buy some top 20 crypto‘s. I’m not getting rich but still making more than I would in stocks or a savings account. Is it risky? Absolutely. However I do my research and generally stick with stuff in the top 20 of market cap. I stay away from the meme coins even though some outrageous gains have come out of them. I think Bitcoin and Ethereum are going to run again and drag the alts up but I’ll cash out once the FOMO is in full swing. No need to get greedy. So many people were saying it was too late to buy BTC when it hit 40k. Lol My feeling is that when this current cycle peaks we will probably see BTC somewhere close to 90k. ETH over 6k. The NFT and meta-verse projects like Sandbox will be the next avenue to make massive profits but I keep it simple and safe with US based account exchanges so I don’t get to play in that realm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 The retroactive law selling point was an invalid one anyways, That law already exist on the books in the legislature even before the proposed corridor. First of all, Maine legislators can already pass retroactive laws and they’ve done so more than 150 times in the past two decades. Doing so requires, in most cases, a majority vote of the Legislature and the governor’s approval, or absent that, enough lawmaker support to override a gubernatorial veto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Conservation Law Foundation supports the project while the Sierra Club opposes it. The other thing is not everyone believes Hydro-Quebec is all that environmentally conscious. They've flooded millions of acres of forest that has released tons of carbon and methane into the atmosphere. The article points out that a bill was introduced a couple of years ago that would have required an independent assessment of any claimed impacts on climate change that was defeated after heavy lobbying by Central Maine Power. It's a pretty complex mix of parties opposed to the project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 If you assume that Maine logs 500,000 acres which is what I saw...correct me if I am wrong...145 miles by 150' is a lot less square footage of trees removed. So there is that. Now it does seem like Maine tries to plant trees after logging which is good...but that is a lot of timber removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 The other dumb referrendum that got defeated, Dendrite would not have been able to raise his chickens here if this passed, And lol at that last line.... Maine voters agree: Food is a basic right The right to food won rave reviews Tuesday from Maine voters, who passed the nation's first guarantee for people to grow, harvest and eat according to their own wishes. The Maine ballot measure was one of several in states seeking to create new constitutional rights touching on an array of issues. Some were a response to policies put in place during the coronavirus pandemic, including a pair of Texas proposals limiting restrictions on religious gatherings and nursing home visits. Maine's unique measure declares individuals have an “unalienable right to grow, raise, harvest, produce and consume the food of their own choosing.” It passed comfortably. “It’s always a good idea to secure and protect an individual right in the world we live in. Food is life,” said Democratic state Sen. Craig Hickman, a supporter of the proposal. “I don’t understand why anyone would be afraid of saying so out loud in the constitution.” Opponents had worried the measure might lead some people to try to raise cattle in cities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
