This still feels like it’s not answering the fundamental question for any blockchain project: why is this a blockchain instead of just a database with well configured permissions, and why are the advantages of the blockchain relevant to the problem it’s trying to solve? Traditional databases can be configured to be append only, accept new data from users without needing a central authority to approve each new user, be queried by any random person, etc far more efficiently than a blockchain could and without requiring every solar panel owner to download multiple terabytes of historical transaction data just to run their panel.

As for the coins, they don’t really add democratic control over a system so much as they empower whoever is best able to maximize coin generation. In a democratic system, 100 small solar panel owners would have more of a say in the governance of solar panels than 1 really wealthy South African billionaire, because they would represent more votes than the billionaire. In the coin economy, if the billionaire has at least twice as many solar panels as the rest of the small owners put together, the billionaire would have sole control over the governance of solar panels because they would be generating twice as many coins.

I admit I’m skeptic to see anything blockchain or coin related, but I’ve yet to see a problem that either technology are solving for other than “I want to be able to do financial transactions over the internet without using a bank or bank-like institution” and “I want an extremely volatile asset to speculate on”

This is entirely why I’ve become dependent on flushable wipes. Any combination of wet and dry toilet paper still takes forever to wipe properly and leaves my ass feeling sore whereas wipes always just takes one or two to completely get the job done. Idk if I have a sensitive ass or just missed the lesson on how to wipe right, but it feels like flushable wipes are the only thing that works for me 🤷‍♀️

Thank God, now I might actually be able to enjoy a Borderlands game.

• You’re unlikely to get fired during this consolidation. Firing is only done for cause, for either behavioral, performance, or legal problems. In many companies, you’d also be first put into a Performance Improvement Plan, where the problems that might lead to you being fired are formally raised to you and you’re given the conditions you need to meet to not be fired.

• What you’re likely facing is a layoff, where a company terminates your job because your role is no longer needed. This is important, because in a layoff, you get severance pay, unemployment insurance, and potentially other benefits, while being fired may impact your ability to get these benefits.

• Generally, it’s better to not quit if you don’t have to. If you stay and you get fired/laid off, you lose income you were about to lose anyway. If you quit but could have stayed and kept your role, you lose income you didn’t have to lose.
