Post isn't true though. Minimal findings of iron at any of the bronze age city states.
The order is the opposite. Collapse broke the bronze supply chain. Had to figure out how to use local materials. Iron was everywhere.
I had not realised before that the Bronze Age Collapse was literally *caused* by iron.
Bronze age powers like the Egyptians, Hittites and Babylonians used bronze weapons, made by combining copper and tin. Tin was so scarce that only the richest and most powerful groups could access it and the bronze weapons it allowed. (Tin was so rare that it was being transported from Cornwall to the Middle East more than 1000 years BC.) The scarcity of tin gave these empires a near-monopoly on violence.
Iron weapons are not actually any better than bronze ones – they're not stronger or easier to work with, as I'd assumed. They're just much, much easier to mass produce once you have bloomeries, which are the first furnaces that were hot enough to melt iron in a way that made them useable for weapons.
Bloomeries meant that iron ore, which was widespread, could be used to make weapons anywhere. That led to warlords, bandits and city-states rising in a massive decentralization of military power, which the Bronze Age empires were unable to resist.
After the invention of the bloomery, skeletons show a measurable increase in weapon-inflicted injuries. 'Destruction layers' with bones and signs of burning have been found from this time at archaeological sites including Troy. Ancient writers – including Herodotus, Ovid, and the writers of the Old Testament – believed the invention of iron had unleashed a new age of violence.
New at Works in Progress, WEAPONS OF MASS DECENTRALIZATION: how iron itself brought about the Bronze Age Collapse. And what technologies could do the same today?

PRICE CONTROLS ARE A LIE POLITICIANS TELL TO BUY VOTES.
They can change the law. They can't change the market dynamics.
History is littered with examples:
- WWII America (ration books)
- Germany, 1948 (goods vanished until controls lifted)
- San Francisco, 1994 (15% fewer rentals)
…in today's Helsinki edition of OUTSIDE MONEY

SAME LOAF OF BREAD. THREE DIFFERENT PRICES.
Manhattan, 1658: 4 in silver, 6 in beaver pelts, 8 in wampum.
Bitcoin could eventually be one money for all of it: what you save, what you spend, and what you price things in.
STORE OF VALUE. MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE. UNIT OF ACCOUNT.
1990s Russia did it backwards: prices in dollars, payments in rubles.
Bitcoin could too.

A school bus carrying 65 children started drifting into oncoming traffic after the driver suddenly lost consciousness.
Most of the kids didn’t even realize what was happening at first because they were looking at their phones, playing games or wearing AirPods.
But five rows back, 13-year-old Dillon Reeves noticed the driver’s hands drop from the wheel and the bus begin swerving into traffic.
He didn’t hesitate. Dillon jumped up, ran to the front, grabbed the steering wheel and slammed on the brake, bringing the 15,000-pound school bus to a stop before it crashed.
Then, with terrified kids screaming behind him and the driver still unconscious beside him, Dillon yelled for someone to call 911.
All 65 students made it out without a single injury, and the bus driver was treated at the scene and later made a full recovery.
That’s the kind of young hero people should know about.

I was listening to this Nick Shirley interview about Somalians being imported by the Lutheran Church, so I started researching
🚨 It was Barack Obama who paid the Lutheran church NGO and additional NGOs over $100 million to bring in the Somalians and dump them in Minnesota
Obama funded it, here’s a list of all the NGOs Barack Obama paid to bring Somalians into America
- Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service
- Church World Service
- Episcopal Migration Ministries
- Ethiopian Community Development Council
- HIAS (formerly Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society)
- International Rescue Committee
- U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants
- United States Conference of Catholic Bishops/Migration and Refugee Services
- World Relief Corporation
Roughly $108 million total funding specifically tied to Somali arrivals
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

INSANE: Meet Tis D'Ascoffon, a French woman who was subjected to sexual violence by a Muslim immigrant who stalked her to her apartment, locked her inside, and attempted to rape her.
Two years later, she gave an interview to French television, recounted the rape attempt, and stated that the main danger to women in Europe comes from "immigrants, black people, and Arabs."
Left-wing forces were outraged and filed a complaint against her for racism. She was charged, brought to trial, and several weeks ago a court in Paris found her guilty and fined her 1,000 euros for her words.
Read that again:
A woman who was subjected to sexual violence by an immigrant ends up in court years later for speaking the truth about sexual violence against women in Europe.
Europe is on a path to self-destruction.

Dear GOP Senators,
Time for you to step up and remove Leader Thune.
If America sees he has failed, surely you all see it too.
Step up and remove the coward.

They stole the 2020 election and when people protested, they raided their houses with guns drawn and threw thousands of Americans in prison for exercising their peaceful right to protest.
Remember who the Democrats truly are when voting this November.
