I use org-mode for note taking and personal knowledge base.

In my notes.org file, I collect all kind of snippets, knowledge, ideas, how-tos, and such stuff.

Outlines make it possible to hide parts of the text in the buffer.

A headline starts with one or more stars. A heading has one star, a sub-heading two, etc.

Use the linking feature in ordmode to link items/notes together through references.

Stick with a "File over app", Unix approach. You need to first rely on a directory structures, filenames, plaintext, lists and orgmode.

Leverage Unix tools: unix commands, (rip)grep, git, fzf, etc.

Companies that provide store fronts that law abiding customers living in those neighborhoods can't live without.

Do you expect these corporate announcements to contain anything but PR and euphemisms?

As a middle easterner who has lived all over the world, you sound like someone who has never traveled outside of your cocoon of a bubble.

Once tech companies can no longer cover negative cash flow with "funding", persistent tech unemployment will be reality.

Wouldn't that fit the second criteria since many first generation immigrants don't have the requisite language skills to compete with the native population for middle class jobs.

Except that's what the Fed is trying to correct. Inflation is caused when the money supply in an economy grows at faster rate than the economy's ability to produce goods and services.

> The government finances its operations by issuing T-bills. If nobody is willing to buy T-bills, the government can't get cash to pay government employees, including the FBI, CIA, military, etc.

If nobody is willing to buy T-bills, the Fed will just monetize the debt, which is something they have been doing since 2008.

There's a reason the Fed's balance sheet is now around 8 trillion dollars.
