In a episode of TFTC, I sat down with Marty Bent to break down the reality behind the hurricanes devastating America and the government's inept or even malicious response to these disasters. We explored the absurdity of resource allocation, the overwhelming destruction, and how people on the ground are often 1000x more effective than the bureaucratic systems in place. We also discussed the important work of Bitcoin Veterans, and how disaster and conflict can turn into rackets.

Throughout the conversation, we touched on the lethargy of government in the face of urgent crises and how open-source innovation, including AI, could provide better solutions. This was an important and insightful discussion that cuts through mainstream narratives, revealing truths that need to be heard. It’s a valuable conversation that I’m excited to share again.
