Shelby and Sausage

this is charles hoskinson broadcasting live from warm sunny colorado got a lobster on my mic so just watched live the senate it was a really tense moment saw ted cruz speak and to me speak and lumas speak and they explained the ramifications of this bill not getting an amendment how it can badly damage the u.s crypto industry there is unanimous agreement about this everyone for the last few days has been calling their senators knocking down doors getting to a point that if we had the right to have a vote it would pass 70 to 75 to basically nothing and then on the floor an 87 year old man from alabama who i don't even think knows how a computer works objected unless his 50 billion dollars of pork for the military the u.s war machine is tacked on to the amendment then of course washington takes its course it gives the proper poison to the drink and bernie sanders objected and now we're dead in the water i remember a quote from richard nixon said it at his resignation farewell he said the greatness comes not when things go always good for you but the greatness comes when you're really tested when you take some knocks some disappointments when sadness comes because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain and that's where we're at we're not out of this fight we're not done we're still here we as an industry came together in ways i didn't think possible and each and every one of you fought and we got to a point where if we had the right to have a vote we'd win and only through the arcane procedures of the senate where we denied this and these senators these 87 year old living fossils showed the entire world that they were willing to sell the future of our country's economy out if they didn't get their pork that can't be taken back little by little if you chip away at the institutional legitimacy at some point the institutions themselves fall and if they so love the senate if they so love this existing form of governance they should be so careful not to continue to set it on fire which is what happened today for the entire world to see the senate servers where they're live streaming nearly collapsed there were so many concurrent viewers so many more than ever before people from australia and new zealand russia china all around the world were watching live a senate hearing on the floor of the senate about an amendment to an infrastructure bill that's never happened before in u.
