I didn't hunt down terrorists around the world so that Mike Lawler could have seniors dragged out of town halls like criminals.

🚨NY-17 social worker forcibly dragged out of Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall. Afterwards, Lawler told the crowd to "behave."
Elected officials are supposed to listen to their constituents—not silence and remove them. This is not democracy.

In 2018, two social psychologists introduced the “Effort Paradox” to make sense of why people enjoy doing difficult things. The explanation may have a lot to do with how people find meaning in life, Alex Hutchinson writes:

Ethereum down 57% from its all-time high, but it’s still worth more than Toyota
Ethereum's price is significantly below its all-time high, but its market capitalization remains substantial. Ethereum's valuation exceeds that of major global companies like Toyota and Disney. If Ethereum were a company, it would rank among the top fifty largest in the world. Experts attribute Ethereum's valuation to speculative interest and its role in new financial technologies. While Ethereum is infrastructure rather than a business, its value is tied to usage and its future potential. The transition to proof-of-stake enhanced Ethereum's appeal as a deflationary asset. Recent data indicates that Ethereum is currently experiencing inflation, depending on network activity. Ethereum's market capitalization is also larger than Greece's GDP. Analysts see this as a signal of legitimacy and a reflection of Ethereum's future role in digital infrastructure. Ethereum's ongoing development, with innovations like native rollups, further enhances its capabilities.
