I have four monitors. Two slightly angled directly in front of me, one angled on the left and a small 10 inch directly below my two main monitors that I use specifically for discord and my friend's chat app he's working on.

Why two directly in front of me with the split in the middle? I only have to shift my head slightly to move between the game I'm playing and whatever I'm watching.

But it's more useful when I'm working on pixel art because I can have my drawing on one main monitor and my reference in the other while having a show or stream on the secondary angled on my left and chat stays on the small monitor.

As for if that helps productivity, I have no idea.

But I sure like my setup now.

Coin tricks. Especially knuckle rolling coins and learning how to change the position of the coin between various palming techniques.

Except a nation with no debt and a negative trade balance has negative wealth.

The government debt is the private sector surplus when there a negative trade balance.

The government is literally the source of money. Every dollar created is part of that "debt".

Every dollar is an IOU issued by the federal government that it will be accepted to relieve tax obligations.

" Zero national debt " means zero dollars left in circulation after taxation.

Because the national "debt" is the number of dollars that haven't been destroyed through taxation.

It's not real currency, it's a token.

I can't use it to pay my taxes to the US federal government and it must be traded in for actual currency to do so.

Just like a token at an arcade.

They are also vehicles of wild speculation... And unlike stocks (where I gain partial ownership of a company) and bonds (where I gain a claim on their monetary inflows and primacy if the venture crumbles), crypto gives me... What exactly?

I don't get to be an owner or a creditor. I become... Holder of a mining incentive?

I'm sorry it's not what a lot of people seem to think it is.

Just so you know, that brown thing is called a cornucopia! Literally "horn of abundance" in Latin.
