The raucous roll call of states at the 2024 Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, as everybody danced to DJ Cassidy’s state-themed music, Lil Jon strode down the aisle to cheers for Georgia, and different delegations boasted about their states and good-naturedly teased other delegations, brought home the real-life meaning of E Pluribus Unum, “out of many, one.” From then until Thursday, as a sea of American flags waved and attendees joyfully chanted “USA, USA, USA,” the convention welcomed a new vision for the Democratic Party, deeply rooted in the best of traditional America. 

Under the direction of President Joe Biden, over the past three and a half years the Democrats have returned to the economic ideology of the New Deal coalition of the 1930s. This week’s convention showed that it has now gone further, recentering the vision of government that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s secretary of labor, Frances Perkins, called upon to make it serve the interests of communities.     

When the Biden-Harris administration took office in 2021, the United States was facing a deadly pandemic and the economic crash it had caused. The country also had to deal with the aftermath of the attempt of former president Donald Trump to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and seize the presidency. It appeared that many people in the United States, as in many other countries around the world, had given up on democracy. 

Biden set out to prove that democracy could work for ordinary people by ditching the neoliberalism that had been in place for forty years. That system, begun in the 1980s, called for the government to allow unfettered markets to organize the economy. Neoliberalism’s proponents promised it would create widespread prosperity, but instead, it transferred more than $50 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. As the middle class hollowed out, those slipping behind lined up behind an authoritarian figure who promised to restore their former centrality by attacking those he told them were their enemies.

When he took office, Biden vowed to prove that democracy worked. With laws like the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act, the Democrats directed investment toward ordinary Americans. The dramatic success of their economic program proved that it worked. On Wednesday, former president Bill Clinton noted that since 1989, the U.S. has created 51 million new jobs. Fifty million of those jobs were created under Democratic presidents, while only 1 million were added under Republicans—a striking statistic that perhaps will put neoliberalism, or at least the tired trope that Democrats are worse for the economy than Republicans, to bed. 

Vice President Kamala Harris’s nomination convention suggested a more thorough reworking of the federal government, one that also recalls the 1930s but suggests a transformation that goes beyond markets and jobs. 

Before Labor Secretary Perkins’s 1935 Social Security Act, the government served largely to manage the economic relationships between labor, capital, and resources. But Perkins recognized that the purpose of government was not to protect property; it was to protect the community. She recognized that children, women, and elderly and disabled Americans were as valuable to the community as young male workers and the wealthy men who employed them.

With a law that established a federal system of old-age benefits; unemployment insurance; aid to homeless, dependent, and neglected children; funds to promote maternal and child welfare; and public health services, Perkins began the process of molding the government to reflect that truth. 

Perkins’s understanding of the United States as a community reflected both her time in a small town in Maine and in her experience as a social worker in inner-city Philadelphia and Chicago before the law provided any protections for the workers, including children, who made the new factories profitable. She understood that while lawmakers focused on male workers, the American economy was, and always has been, utterly dependent on the unrecognized contributions of women and marginalized people in the form of childcare, sharing food and housing, and the many forms of unpaid work that keep communities functioning. 

This reworking of the American government to reflect community rather than economic

relationships changed the entire fabric of the country, and opponents have worked to destroy it ever since FDR began to put it in place. 

Now, in their quest to win the 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota governor Tim Walz—the Democratic nominees for president and vice president—have reclaimed the idea of community, with its understanding that everyone matters and the government must serve everyone, as the center of American life. 

Their vision rejects the division of the country into “us” and “them” that has been a staple of Republican politics since President Richard M. Nixon. It also rejects the politics of identity that has become identified with the argument that the United States has been irredeemably warped by racism and sexism. Instead, at the DNC, Democrats acknowledged the many ways in which the country has come up short of its principles in the past, and demanded that Americans do something to put in place a government that will address those inequities and make the American dream accessible to all.

Walz personifies this community vision. On Wednesday he laid it out from the very beginning of his acceptance speech, noting that he grew up in Butte, Nebraska, a town of 400 people, with 24 kids in his high school class. “[G]rowing up in a small town like that,” he said, “you'll learn how to take care of each other that that family down the road, they may not think like you do, they may not pray like you do, they may not love like you do, but they're your neighbors and you look out for them and they look out for you. Everybody belongs and everybody has a responsibility to contribute.” The football players Walz coached to a state championship joined him on stage.

Harris also called out this idea of community when she declined to mention that, if elected, she will be the first female president, and instead remembered growing up in “a beautiful working-class neighborhood of firefighters, nurses, and construction workers, all who tended their lawns with pride.” Her mother, Harris said, “leaned on a trusted circle to help raise us. Mrs. Shelton, who ran the daycare below us and became a second mother. Uncle Sherman. Aunt Mary. Uncle Freddy. And Auntie Chris. None of them, family by blood. And all of them, Family. By love…. Family who…instilled in us the values they personified. Community. Faith. And the importance of treating others as you would want to be treated. With kindness. Respect. And compassion.”

The speakers at the DNC called out the women who make communities function. Speaker after speaker at the DNC thanked their mother. Former first lady Michelle Obama explicitly described her mother, Marian Robinson, as someone who lived out the idea of hope for a better future, working for children and the community. Mrs. Obama described her mother as “glad to do the thankless, unglamorous work that for generations has strengthened the fabric of this nation.” 

Mrs. Obama, Harris, and Walz have emphasized that while they come from different backgrounds, they come from what Mrs. Obama called “the same foundational values”: “the promise of this country,” “the obligation to lift others up,” a “responsibility to give more than we take.”  Harris agreed, saying her mother “taught us to never complain about injustice. But…do something about it. She also taught us—Never do anything half-assed. That’s a direct quote.”

The Democrats worked to make it clear that their vision is not just the Democratic Party’s vision but an American one. They welcomed the union workers and veterans who have in the past gravitated toward Republicans, showing a powerful video contrasting Trump’s photo-ops, in which actors play union workers, with the actual plants being built thanks to money from the Biden-Harris administration. The many Democratic lawmakers who have served in the military stood on stage to back Arizona representative Ruben Gallego, a former Marine, who told the crowd that the veteran unemployment rate under Biden and Harris is the lowest in history. 

The many Republicans who spoke at the convention reinforced that the Democratic vision speaks for the whole country. Former representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) identified this vision as “conservative.” “As a conservative and a veteran,” he said “I believe true strength lies in defending the vulnerable. It’s in protecting your family. It’s in standing up for our Constitution and our democracy. That…is the soul of being a conservative. It used to be the soul of being a Republican,” Kinzinger said. “But Donald Trump has suffocated the soul of the Republican Party.” 

“[A] harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us,” Harris said. And she reminded people of her career as a prosecutor, in which “[e]very day in the courtroom, I stood proudly before a judge and said five words: ‘Kamala Harris, for the People.’ My entire career, I have only had one client. The People.”

“And so, on behalf of The People. On behalf of every American. Regardless of party. Race. Gender. Or the language your grandmother speaks. On behalf of my mother and everyone who has ever set out on their own unlikely journey. On behalf of Americans like the people I grew up with. People who work hard. Chase their dreams. And look out for one another. On behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on Earth. I accept your nomination for President of the United States of America.”

The 100,000 biodegradable balloons that fell from the rafters when Vice President Harris accepted the Democratic nomination for president were blown up and tied by a team of 55 balloon artists from 18 states and Canada who volunteered to prepare the drop in honor of their colleague, Tommy DeLorenzo, who, along with his husband Scott, runs a balloon business. DeLorenzo is battling cancer. “We’re more colleagues than competitors,” Patty Sorell told Sydney Page of the Washington Post. “We all wanted to do something to help Tommy, to show him how much we love him.” 

“Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for this community,” DeLorenzo said.

Wake Up Neo: The Bitcoin Rabbit Hole & Breaking Free From the Matrix

Have you ever felt it? That nagging sensation in the back of your mind, like something in this world doesn’t add up? You work harder, you save more, you play by the rules—yet, somehow, it never seems to be enough. Prices go up, your paycheck doesn’t stretch as far, and no matter how much you grind, financial freedom always seems just out of reach.

That’s because you were never meant to win.

Welcome to the Matrix.

The Illusion of Freedom

From the moment we are born, we are plugged into a system designed to extract our energy. We are handed a script: go to school, get a degree, take out loans, get a job, pay taxes, buy a house, work until you're 65, and then—maybe—you’ll get to enjoy life. But by then, you’re too old, too tired, and too drained from a lifetime of servitude.

The system doesn’t just run on money. It runs on you. Your time. Your effort. Your productivity. And the cruelest trick of all? The very currency you earn in exchange for your labor is constantly being devalued.

Inflation isn’t an accident. It’s not some unfortunate byproduct of bad economic policy. Inflation is the system working exactly as intended. Governments print more money, your purchasing power shrinks, and the cycle continues. They tell you 2% inflation is “healthy,” but for who? Certainly not for you. You are the battery, drained year after year, kept just comfortable enough to stay obedient but never free enough to escape.

The Agents of the Fiat System

In The Matrix, the agents are everywhere, enforcing the rules of the system. In our world, they take a different form. The central banks, the politicians, the financial media—all of them exist to keep the illusion intact.

Central banks print money out of thin air, diluting the value of what you worked for. Politicians promise solutions while only ever increasing the national debt, making each dollar weaker. The financial media tells you everything is fine, distracting you with nonsense while your savings quietly erode. And the schools? They never teach you how money actually works—because if they did, the whole illusion would shatter.

They want you in debt. They want you relying on them. They need you to believe that there is no alternative.

But there is.

Bitcoin: The Red Pill

Somewhere deep inside, you’ve always known something was wrong. You just didn’t know what the alternative looked like—until now.

Bitcoin is decentralized. No rulers. No central bank. No government printing it into oblivion.

Bitcoin is scarce. Only 21 million will ever exist. No inflation. No dilution. No theft by the hidden hand of monetary policy.

Bitcoin is uncensorable. No bank can freeze it. No government can confiscate it. No corporation can deplatform you from it.

Bitcoin is the red pill.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. You realize that fiat is the real scam. That the stock market, the housing market, the entire financial system is just a house of cards, propped up by artificial money and endless debt. That the only way to win is to exit the game entirely.

Escaping the Matrix

Waking up isn’t enough. You have to act. You have to unplug. And that means taking control of your financial future before it’s too late.

The first step? Start stacking sats. The fiat system wants you to believe you need to be rich to invest. That’s another lie. With Bitcoin, you can start with $5, $10, whatever you can afford. The key is to start.

Next, take back your sovereignty. Get your Bitcoin off exchanges. Own your keys. Custody is control, and control is freedom.

Then, educate yourself. Read the Bitcoin Standard, listen to podcasts, follow those who have already broken free. The more you learn, the more obvious the scam becomes.

Finally, reduce your dependence on the system. Get out of unnecessary debt. Stop trading your time for a paycheck that loses value by the second. Find ways to earn in Bitcoin, transact in Bitcoin, and build a future that isn’t dictated by the whims of a central bank.

And most importantly? Spread the signal. Help others wake up before the system tightens its grip. Because make no mistake—CBDCs are coming. More surveillance is coming. More control is coming. The Matrix doesn’t like losing its prisoners.

But you don’t have to be one of them.

The Choice is Yours

Most people will never wake up. They’ll keep running on the treadmill, trading their lives away for an illusion. They’ll cling to the belief that the system is fair, that it’s just bad luck keeping them from financial freedom. They’ll blame inflation on corporations, on supply chains, on everything except the source: the money printer itself.

But not you.

You have a choice. You can take the blue pill—close this article, keep scrolling, and forget everything you just read.

Or you can take the red pill. You can start stacking, learning, and taking back control. You can unplug from the fiat system and step into a world where your time is yours again.

Wake up, Neo. The Matrix is crumbling. And Bitcoin is your way out.

Tick Tock. Next Block.

How to Reset Tire Pressure System in Your Subaru Crosstrek: Complete Guide

https://autorepairlebanontn.com/?p=3659 How to Reset Tire Pressure System in Your Subaru Crosstrek: Complete Guide Dealing with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in your Subaru Crosstrek doesn’t have to be a headache. When that warning light illuminates your dashboard, it’s essential to know how to reset the system properly after adjusting your tire pressure to the recommended levels. We’ve created this comprehensive guide to walk you through the simple process of resetting your Subaru Crosstrek’s tire pressure monitoring system. Whether you’ve just inflated your tires, replaced them, or simply need to clear that persistent warning light, we’ll show you exactly what steps to take to get your system back to normal functioning.

Understanding the Tire Pressure Monitoring System in Subaru Crosstrek The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your Subaru Crosstrek serves as a critical safety feature that alerts you when tire pressure falls below recommended levels. Understanding how this system functions helps you maintain optimal tire performance and respond appropriately to warning indicators. Why Proper Tire Pressure Matters Maintaining correct tire pressure in your Subaru Crosstrek improves vehicle handling, extends tire life, and optimizes fuel efficiency. Underinflated tires create excessive friction with the road, causing premature wear on the outer edges and increasing fuel consumption by up to 3%. Overinflated tires reduce traction and create uneven wear patterns in the center of the tread, compromising your safety during emergency maneuvers. Proper inflation also ensures even weight distribution across all four tires, improving stability during cornering and providing better protection against potential blowouts. The manufacturer-recommended pressure levels found on your driver’s door jamb sticker or in the owner’s manual represent the optimal balance between performance, comfort, and safety for your exact Crosstrek model. How the TPMS Works in Your Crosstrek Subaru Crosstrek models use a direct TPMS that employs individual sensors mounted inside each tire to continuously monitor air pressure. These sensors transmit real-time pressure readings to the vehicle’s central computer system approximately every 60 seconds. When pressure in any tire drops roughly 25% below the recommended level, the system triggers the TPMS warning light on your dashboard. The amber warning symbol resembles a tire cross-section with an exclamation point inside. Some newer Crosstrek models feature an advanced TPMS that displays the individual pressure readings for each tire on the multi-information display, allowing you to identify exactly which tire needs attention. The system operates independently from other vehicle functions and continues monitoring even when your vehicle isn’t running, though it requires motion above 20 mph to update readings after pressure adjustments have been made. When to Reset Your Subaru Crosstrek Tire Pressure System The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your Subaru Crosstrek requires a reset under exact circumstances to ensure accurate pressure readings. Regular maintenance of this system is essential for your safety and vehicle performance. Warning Light Indicators Explained The TPMS warning light in a Subaru Crosstrek appears as a semi-circle with an exclamation point in the center. This indicator illuminates briefly during vehicle startup as part of the system check, then turns off once proper tire pressure is confirmed. A continuously lit TPMS light signals that at least one tire has pressure significantly below the recommended level, creating potentially unsafe driving conditions. Understanding this warning sign is crucial for maintaining optimal tire performance and vehicle safety on the road. Common Reasons for TPMS Resets Underinflated tires represent the most frequent cause for an activated TPMS light in your Crosstrek. Temperature fluctuations often cause tire pressure to drop, particularly during cold weather when air molecules contract. Malfunctioning TPMS sensors sometimes trigger false readings after tire rotations, replacements, or when sensor batteries need replacement. Unit changes between kPa and PSI might necessitate a system reset through your vehicle’s dashboard display menu, especially in 2018 and newer Crosstrek models. System calibration becomes necessary following maintenance procedures like tire rotations or replacements to ensure the TPMS provides accurate pressure readings for all four tires. Step-by-Step Guide to Reset the Tire Pressure System Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your Subaru Crosstrek keeps your vehicle running safely and efficiently. The process varies slightly depending on your vehicle’s exact features and model year. Method 1: Using the TPMS Reset Button U.S. model Subaru Crosstreks don’t feature a dedicated TPMS reset button, unlike some other vehicle brands. Instead, the system automatically recalibrates when tire pressure adjustments are made correctly. Here’s how to handle this situation: Check recommended pressure – Locate the recommended tire pressure on your driver’s side door jamb or in your owner’s manual Adjust all tires – Inflate all tires to the specified pressure value while they’re cold Drive briefly – Take your vehicle for a short drive at speeds above 20 mph for about 10-15 minutes Allow system recalibration – The TPMS warning light typically turns off automatically after proper pressure has been restored and the vehicle has been driven This method resolves most common TPMS warnings that stem from underinflated tires or normal pressure fluctuations due to temperature changes. Method 2: Reset Through the Infotainment System Many Subaru Crosstrek models allow TPMS reset through the vehicle’s infotainment system. This approach varies by model year but follows these general patterns: For 2018 and Similar Models: Start your vehicle – Turn the engine on and ensure the vehicle is in park Access settings menu – Navigate to the settings section using your infotainment controls Find TPMS settings – Select “Vehicle” or “Settings” followed by “Tire Pressure” or “TPMS” Follow on-screen prompts – Complete the reset process by following the displayed instructions Confirm units – Some resets involve switching pressure units (kPa to PSI) and confirming changes General Reset Procedure: Ignition position – Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position without starting the engine Navigate menus – Use steering wheel controls or touchscreen to access the menu system Locate TPMS section – Find “Settings” or “Vehicle” menu, then select “Tire Pressure” or “TPMS” Complete reset sequence – Follow the exact prompts shown on your display If the TPMS light remains illuminated after trying both methods, your vehicle might have malfunctioning TPMS sensors requiring professional diagnosis at a Subaru service center. Preparing Your Vehicle Before Resetting the TPMS Proper preparation is essential before attempting to reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your Subaru Crosstrek. The system requires correct tire pressure levels to function properly and reset successfully. Here’s what you need to do before initiating the reset process. Checking and Adjusting Tire Pressure Accurate tire pressure verification forms the foundation of a successful TPMS reset. The recommended tire pressure specifications can be found on the driver’s side door jamb or in your owner’s manual. Always check tire pressure when tires are cold—meaning your vehicle hasn’t been driven for at least three hours. Using a reliable tire pressure gauge, measure each tire’s current pressure level including the spare (if equipped). Inflate or deflate tires as needed to match the manufacturer’s recommended PSI. Temperature fluctuations significantly affect tire pressure readings, so consistent measurement conditions are crucial for accuracy. Proper inflation isn’t just important for resetting the TPMS—it directly impacts your vehicle’s handling, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. Underinflated tires create excessive friction, leading to premature wear and decreased fuel economy, while overinflated tires reduce traction and compromise ride comfort. Required Tools and Conditions Resetting the TPMS in a Subaru Crosstrek doesn’t require specialized equipment. Unlike other vehicle brands, Subaru models sold in the U.S. don’t feature a dedicated TPMS reset switch, simplifying the process considerably. Your vehicle should be parked on a level surface with the ignition turned off before beginning the reset procedure. A basic tire pressure gauge is the only tool you’ll need to ensure accurate pressure readings. After adjusting all tires to their proper inflation levels, start the engine and allow it to run for several minutes to initiate the system’s recalibration process. For the TPMS to complete its reset cycle, you’ll need to drive your Crosstrek at speeds of at least 25 mph for approximately 10-15 minutes. This driving period enables the system to gather new pressure readings and clear any warning indicators on your dashboard. Troubleshooting TPMS Reset Issues TPMS reset issues in the Subaru Crosstrek can be frustrating to resolve, but most problems have straightforward answers. We’ve compiled common issues and effective troubleshooting methods to help you restore your system to proper working order. When the Reset Doesn’t Work Incorrect tire pressure readings are the primary reason why TPMS resets fail in Subaru Crosstreks. Always verify that all four tires are precisely inflated to the recommended pressure found on the driver’s side door jamb or owner’s manual. Faulty TPMS sensors may also prevent successful resets, as damaged sensors can’t transmit accurate pressure data to your vehicle’s computer system. Driving the vehicle for several miles at speeds above 25 mph often allows the system to recalibrate naturally after pressure adjustments. Temperature fluctuations between day and night can affect tire pressure readings by 1-3 PSI, so checking tire pressure when tires are cold provides the most accurate measurements for proper calibration. Dealing with Persistent TPMS Warnings Persistent TPMS warnings typically require more thorough troubleshooting approaches. Cold tire pressure verification is essential as tire pressure changes significantly with temperature—a tire properly inflated when warm may register as underinflated once cooled. System reboots sometimes resolve stubborn warnings; simply driving your Crosstrek for 10-15 continuous minutes at highway speeds allows the system to complete a full recalibration cycle. Checking for pressure measurement unit inconsistencies in your vehicle’s settings can eliminate confusion, particularly if the display is set to kPa instead of PSI. Professional diagnostic services at a Subaru dealership may be necessary if these steps don’t resolve the issue, as specialized equipment can identify internal system malfunctions or sensor battery failures. Recent tire rotations or replacements might require additional time for the system to recognize the new tire positions and pressure readings. Maintaining Your Crosstrek’s Tire Pressure System Proper maintenance of your Subaru Crosstrek’s tire pressure monitoring system ensures optimal vehicle performance and safety. Regular attention to tire pressure fluctuations and sensor health keeps your TPMS functioning correctly throughout the year. Seasonal Considerations for Tire Pressure Temperature changes significantly impact tire pressure in your Subaru Crosstrek. Cold weather causes air in tires to contract, reducing pressure by several PSI during winter months. Conversely, summer heat expands the air, increasing tire pressure as you drive. Always check and adjust tire pressure when tires are cold for accurate readings. Setting tire pressure while tires are warm can lead to underinflation once they cool down, potentially triggering your TPMS warning light. Morning inspections before driving provide the most accurate cold pressure readings, especially during seasonal transitions when temperature fluctuations are most dramatic. TPMS Sensor Battery Life and Replacement TPMS sensors in your Crosstrek contain batteries with a typical lifespan of 5-10 years, depending on driving conditions and usage patterns. These sensors can’t be recharged and require complete replacement once batteries fail. Dead sensor batteries often trigger persistent TPMS warning lights that won’t reset even with properly inflated tires. Replacement options include professional service at your Subaru dealership or DIY methods if you have appropriate tools and mechanical knowledge. Some aftermarket guides demonstrate how to replace TPMS sensors without specialized tire machines, though professional installation ensures proper calibration. Sensor replacement becomes particularly important after the 5-year mark or when buying a used Crosstrek with original sensors. Consider proactive replacement during your next tire change if your vehicle approaches this age threshold to avoid unexpected sensor failures. Conclusion Resetting your Subaru Crosstrek’s tire pressure monitoring system doesn’t have to be complicated. By following our simple methods – either driving at highway speeds to trigger automatic recalibration or using your vehicle’s infotainment system – you’ll keep this crucial safety feature working properly. Remember that maintaining proper tire pressure isn’t just about avoiding warning lights it’s about ensuring optimal handling fuel efficiency and tire longevity. Regular tire pressure checks especially during seasonal temperature changes will help prevent unexpected TPMS warnings. If you continue experiencing TPMS issues after attempting these reset procedures don’t hesitate to visit your local Subaru service center. They can diagnose and address any underlying sensor problems ensuring your Crosstrek remains safe and efficient on every journey. Frequently Asked Questions What is the TPMS in a Subaru Crosstrek? The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a safety feature that monitors tire pressure and alerts drivers when pressure falls below recommended levels. In Subaru Crosstrek models, it uses individual sensors to monitor air pressure in each tire and triggers a warning light on the dashboard when pressure drops significantly. Newer models may display individual tire pressure readings for enhanced awareness. When do I need to reset the TPMS in my Subaru Crosstrek? You need to reset the TPMS after adjusting tire pressure, replacing tires, rotating tires, or when the warning light remains on despite proper inflation. A reset is also necessary after significant temperature changes that affect pressure readings, when switching between different pressure measurement units, or if you suspect a sensor malfunction. What does the TPMS warning light look like? The TPMS warning light appears as a semi-circle (horseshoe shape) with an exclamation point in the middle. This yellow or amber indicator illuminates on your dashboard when tire pressure is significantly below the recommended level. When this light appears, it’s important to check your tire pressure promptly. How do I reset the TPMS through automatic recalibration? To reset through automatic recalibration: 1) Check and adjust all tires to the recommended pressure (found on the driver’s doorjamb sticker), 2) Start your engine, and 3) Drive at speeds of at least 25 mph for 10-15 minutes. This allows the system to recalibrate and should clear the warning light if tire pressures are correct. Can I reset the TPMS through the infotainment system?

Stablecoins Aren’t a Threat to the Dollar—They’re Its Secret Weapon

In 2025, a quiet revolution is underway. Not in the streets, not in the headlines—but in the plumbing of global finance. Dollar-backed stablecoins have surpassed Visa in transaction volume. They’re issuing at scale, settling trillions, and quietly becoming a global standard. And despite the alarm bells from some corners of the old guard, the truth is this: Stablecoins may be the strongest tool America has to preserve its monetary dominance in a world increasingly hostile to it.

That’s not just a crypto-native fantasy. It’s the strategic case for stablecoins—and it’s one Washington is slowly waking up to.

The Digital Dollar Is Already Here—And It’s Not Issued by the Fed

While central banks and monetary theorists debate the future of digital currencies, the private market has already built the infrastructure. USDC, USDT, and DAI now power over $27.6 trillion in transactions annually—edging out Visa and crushing Mastercard. Stablecoins are now among the top 15 holders of U.S. Treasuries. This is no longer fringe finance. It’s macroeconomics.

And that macro context matters. The U.S. dollar’s status as the global reserve currency isn’t a given. It’s an advantage that requires constant reinforcement—through diplomacy, liquidity, and yes, debt. With over $35 trillion in national debt, the U.S. needs demand for Treasuries to remain strong. Every dollar-backed stablecoin is a vote for that system.

Each tokenized dollar, backed by regulated issuers and audited reserves, extends the reach of the U.S. financial system—not weakens it.

Dollar Demand Is Being Reinvented in Real-Time

Let’s be clear: stablecoins are not just crypto tokens. They’re the dollar’s second act.

Emerging markets—plagued by inflation, FX instability, and capital controls—are turning to stablecoins not for speculation, but for survival. In parts of Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, users aren’t choosing stablecoins because they’re “into crypto”—they’re choosing them because they need dollars. And traditional banking can’t deliver them.

In Argentina or Nigeria, you don’t get to hold dollars easily. But with a smartphone and a stablecoin wallet, you can move, store, and spend greenbacks with the speed of a text message. Stablecoins are financial internet for the unbanked dollar-seeker.

Meanwhile, U.S. issuers like Circle are leaning into compliance, clarity, and integration. The passage of the GENIUS Act and Biden administration support signals what could be a historic shift: The U.S. is not banning stablecoins—it’s blessing them. That’s not just regulatory maturity. It’s strategic foresight.

The Competition Isn’t Bitcoin. It’s the Digital Yuan and the Tokenized Euro.

For years, critics warned that crypto would undermine the dollar. In reality, it’s the best weapon the dollar has in the coming monetary arms race.

China isn’t playing around with digital currency. Its e-CNY pilot now reaches hundreds of millions of wallets. The EU is funding a Digital Euro. And both initiatives are explicitly geopolitical—attempts to reduce global dependency on SWIFT, Fedwire, and ultimately, the U.S. dollar.

But here’s the twist: they’re slow. Bureaucratic. National. Meanwhile, stablecoins are borderless, programmable, and viral. USDC can move through DeFi, on Ethereum, Solana, or even Visa-linked cards. It’s money with APIs.

Visa’s move to partner with Bridge and issue stablecoin-linked cards across Latin America is proof the rails are converging. Users won’t need to understand blockchains. They'll just swipe, scan, or click—powered by tokenized dollars under the hood.

This is how the dollar wins the digital currency war—by going native to the internet.

Volatility Is the Problem. Stablecoins Are the Answer.

Another tired narrative: crypto is too volatile. But that’s exactly why stablecoins are breaking out.

Bitcoin swung from $100K to $70K and back. Ethereum remains unpredictable. But stablecoins aren’t speculative assets—they’re utility layers. You don’t HODL them to moon. You use them to move capital efficiently. That’s a different value proposition entirely.

And they’re becoming productive, too. Circle now enables USDC to earn yield through secure Treasury-backed mechanisms. DeFi protocols like Aave and Maker allow passive income generation through real-world asset strategies. This isn’t meme-coin roulette. It’s digitized dollar savings.

Critics Say Volume Is Fake. They Miss the Point.

Yes, some analysts rightly point out that stablecoin volumes can be inflated by arbitrage or wash trades. But the broader trend is undeniable. Even if you haircut the volume by 90%, the remaining use still dwarfs most payment platforms.

And it's growing where it matters: payroll, remittances, and cross-border settlements. Companies like SpaceX, ScaleAI, and independent contractors across continents now rely on stablecoins for operational finance. That's not noise. That's signal.

As A16z noted, “Stablecoins could be a WhatsApp moment for money.” Just as SMS gave way to free, instant messaging, legacy payments are giving way to global, near-zero-fee settlement.

Dollar Hegemony Isn’t Dying. It’s Evolving.

The internet has changed what “money” means. Borders are blurrier. Speed matters more than formality. Users choose convenience over convention. In that world, the dollar must become digital-native—or risk being bypassed.

Stablecoins are not a threat to U.S. dominance. They’re the clearest path to sustain it.

They create organic global demand for dollars. They cement dollar-denominated debt as the foundation of new financial protocols. They embed U.S. monetary infrastructure in the next wave of global fintech.

Yes, there are risks. Regulation must be tight. Auditing must be real. Governance matters. But the answer isn’t to slow stablecoins down—it’s to supercharge their legitimacy with transparency and oversight.

The alternative? Let China or the EU set the standard. And watch the dollar fade from digital relevance.

Stablecoins Will Become the Default Dollar Rail by 2030

By the end of this decade, more dollars will move via stablecoins than through SWIFT. Circle and Visa will power billions in commerce. Treasuries will flow through tokenized instruments. The “crypto” part of stablecoins will fade from view. But their strategic importance will only grow.

Stablecoins won’t kill banks. They’ll force them to evolve.

They won’t kill central banks. They’ll give them new tools.

And they won’t kill the dollar. They’ll immortalize it.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration said Thursday it will now cost more than $20 billion to build a giant tunnel aimed at catching more water when it rains and storing it to better prepare for longer droughts caused by climate change.

State regulators have been trying to build some version of a water tunnel system for decades. The latest form championed by the Democratic governor is a single giant tunnel, down from two tunnels proposed by his predecessor, Jerry Brown. Newsom's administration says the state can capture more water from the Sacramento River during major storms and send it south for storage.

The last cost estimate, which came in 2020, put the price tag for a single tunnel project at $16 billion. The new analysis says the tunnel will cost $20.1 billion, an increase they attribute almost entirely to inflation, which soared after the pandemic.

The project would be paid for by 29 local public water agencies, who get their money from customers.

The analysis, conducted by the Berkeley Research Group but paid for by the state, said the tunnel would yield $38 billion in benefits, mostly because of an increased water supply that would be better protected from natural disasters like earthquakes.

“The benefits clearly justify the costs,” said David Sunding, emeritus professor at the University of California, Berkeley who led the analysis.

Despite that rosy outlook, the tunnel remains one of the most controversial projects in recent memory. Environmental groups say its construction would have devastating impacts on the already vanishing ecosystem of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, the largest estuary on the West Coast that is home to endangered species of salmon and other fish.

The analysis released Thursday notes the environmental impacts include lost agricultural land, reduced water quality in the Delta, and impacts on air quality, transportation and noise.

“Instead of foisting the costs of this boondoggle project onto Californians, the state should invest in sustainable water solutions that promise to restore the Delta ecosystem, not destroy it," said Barbara Barrigan-Parilla, executive director of the environmental advocacy group Restore the Delta.

State officials note the project now includes $200 million for grants to fund local projects in areas impacted by construction.

Beyond environmental concerns, the project has become a political landmine throughout the Central Valley's farming communities, where it is seen as yet another attempt by Southern California to steal their water. While most of California's population lives in the southern part of the state, most of the state's water comes from the north. In the state Legislature, lawmakers have blocked any effor t to benefit or speed up the tunnel's construction.

"This new analysis acknowledges what we’ve known all along: the Delta Tunnel is meant to benefit Beverly Hills and leave Delta communities out to dry,” said U.S. Rep. Josh Harder, a Democrat whose district includes the Central Valley communities like Stockton, Lodi and Galt. "I’m sick and tired of politicians in Sacramento ignoring our Valley voices and I will do everything in my power to stop them from stealing our water.”

The tunnel would be part of the State Water Project — a complex system of reservoirs, dams and canals that provides water to 27 million people while irrigating 750,000 acres (303,515 hectares) of farmland.

Climate change is threatening that supply. A recent drought saw the three direst years on record, which dropped reservoirs around the state to dangerously low levels and prompted mandatory rationing and even caused some hydroelectric power plants to shut down. State officials predict that by 2070 State Water Project deliveries will decline by 22% because of climate change.

The proposed tunnel would be about 45 miles (72 kilometers) long and 36 feet (11 meters) wide, or large enough to carry more than 161 million gallons of water per hour. State officials say this tunnel would let the state capture more water when the state is hit by “atmospheric rivers” — large storms that can drench the state for weeks during the rainy season.

The analysis released Thursday says the tunnel would increase water deliveries by about 17%, nearly accounting for the anticipated decline because of climate change.

“There is a very real cost to do nothing. It is vastly more efficient and economical to avoid declining supplies," said Karla Nemeth, director of the California Department of Water Resources. “Water shortages, mandatory restrictions, land fallowing and job loss all impact our state and local economies.”

Understanding the TPMS System in Hyundai Elantra The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in Hyundai Elantra models serves as a critical safety feature that continuously monitors air pressure in your tires. This electronic system uses pressure sensors mounted inside each tire to detect when pressure falls below the recommended level. Once detected, the TPMS activates a dashboard warning light—typically a yellow exclamation point inside a horseshoe shape—alerting drivers to potential tire issues. Modern Hyundai Elantra models come equipped with direct TPMS technology, which provides real-time pressure readings for each individual tire. Unlike indirect systems that rely on wheel speed sensors, direct TPMS offers more accurate measurements and exact information about which tire needs attention. The system activates when pressure drops approximately 25% below the manufacturer’s recommended level. Your Elantra’s TPMS includes several key components working together: Pressure sensors in each tire that transmit data wirelessly A central receiver that processes incoming signals The dashboard warning light that alerts the driver In newer models, a display showing individual tire pressures Hyundai engineered this system not only for safety but also for performance optimization. Properly inflated tires improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance, extend tire life by ensuring even wear patterns, and enhance overall handling characteristics. The TPMS essentially functions as your first line of defense against tire-related problems that could lead to dangerous driving conditions. Temperature fluctuations significantly affect the TPMS readings in your Elantra. For every 10°F change in temperature, tire pressure typically changes by 1-2 PSI. This explains why the TPMS light might illuminate during seasonal transitions, particularly when temperatures drop suddenly in fall or winter mornings. Signs Your Hyundai Elantra TPMS Needs Resetting The tire pressure monitoring system in your Hyundai Elantra provides critical safety information, but sometimes it requires resetting to function properly. Recognizing when to reset your TPMS helps maintain accurate readings and prevents unnecessary warning lights. Here are the key indicators that your system needs attention: Illuminated TPMS Warning Light An illuminated TPMS light on your dashboard serves as the most obvious indicator that your system needs attention. This warning appears when the sensors detect pressure issues in one or more tires. The light typically resembles an exclamation point inside a horseshoe or tire outline, making it easy to identify on your instrument panel. Recent Tire Pressure Adjustments Your TPMS light might remain on even after you’ve properly inflated your tires to recommended levels. The system doesn’t always update immediately following pressure adjustments, requiring a manual reset to synchronize the sensors with the new pressure readings. This situation commonly occurs during routine maintenance when you check and adjust tire pressures. After Tire Rotation or Replacement Tire rotations and replacements often necessitate a TPMS reset. The system needs recalibration after these services since the sensors may register in different positions. Professional tire shops sometimes perform this reset automatically, but many situations require you to complete this step yourself, especially with older Elantra models. Seasonal Temperature Changes Temperature fluctuations between seasons can trigger your TPMS warning light. Cold weather typically causes tire pressure to decrease, while warm weather increases it. These natural pressure variations might activate your warning light even though the tires being in good condition, indicating the need for a system reset once you’ve verified and adjusted to proper inflation levels. Step-by-Step Guide to Reset TPMS in Hyundai Elantra Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your Hyundai Elantra is a straightforward process that can be accomplished using two primary methods. These techniques help recalibrate your vehicle’s system after tire maintenance, pressure adjustments, or seasonal changes. Method 1: Using the TPMS Reset Button The TPMS reset button provides a direct way to recalibrate your Elantra’s tire pressure monitoring system. Finding this button is your first task, as its location varies across different Hyundai Elantra model years. In the 2011 Elantra, it’s positioned in the right lower area next to the steering wheel. For the 2013 Elantra, look underneath or to the right of the steering wheel. Newer models like the 2019 Elantra feature the button on the left side under the dashboard. Once you’ve located the button, insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “on” position without starting the engine. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it. Start your car and wait approximately 20 minutes to allow the sensor to refresh and update the system completely. Complete the recalibration process by driving above 50 mph for at least 10 minutes, giving the sensors time to properly communicate with the vehicle’s computer system. Method 2: Driving Method for TPMS Reset Many Elantra owners find the driving method effective when their vehicle lacks a dedicated reset button or when the button method doesn’t resolve the issue. This technique involves manipulating tire pressure and driving at exact speeds to trigger a system reset. Begin by inflating all tires, including the spare, to approximately 3 PSI above their recommended pressure levels. Next, completely deflate them by pressing on the valve stems until all air is released. Reinflate each tire to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure—typically found on the placard inside the driver’s door jamb. Drive your Elantra at speeds exceeding 50 mph for about 10-20 minutes, allowing the TPMS to detect the pressure changes and reset the warning light. For particularly stubborn TPMS warnings, a battery disconnection sometimes proves effective. Disconnect the positive battery cable, leave it detached for about 3 minutes, then reconnect it. This hard reboot of your vehicle’s computer system often clears persistent TPMS warnings by forcing the system to reinitialize all monitoring parameters. Common TPMS Issues in Hyundai Elantra Models Delayed Warning Light Reset The TPMS warning light in Hyundai Elantra models doesn’t always turn off immediately after correcting tire pressure. Many owners experience a delay between properly inflating their tires and the warning light extinguishing. This delay occurs because the system needs time to update and recalibrate – typically requiring a few minutes of driving for the sensors to transmit updated pressure readings to the vehicle’s computer system. Incorrect Tire Pressure Readings Inaccurate tire pressure remains one of the most frequent causes of persistent TPMS warnings in Elantra vehicles. The system activates when any tire falls below the manufacturer’s recommended pressure levels, including the spare tire in some models. Tire pressure fluctuations happen naturally due to temperature changes, with pressure dropping approximately 1 PSI for every 10°F decrease in temperature. Checking all tires with a reliable pressure gauge ensures accurate readings before attempting any reset procedure. Sensor Malfunctions TPMS sensors in Hyundai Elantra models occasionally fail or malfunction, triggering warning lights that won’t reset through standard procedures. These battery-powered sensors typically last 5-7 years before requiring replacement. Signs of sensor failure include intermittent warnings, pressure readings that don’t match manual measurements, or TPMS lights that remain illuminated even though multiple reset attempts. Diagnostic testing at a service center can identify which exact sensor needs replacement, with costs ranging from $50-$100 per sensor plus installation. Battery Disconnection Issues Some Elantra owners find that disconnecting the battery becomes necessary for stubborn TPMS warnings. This hard reboot method works by disconnecting the positive battery cable, waiting several minutes, pressing the horn to discharge remaining electricity, and reconnecting the battery. While effective, this approach resets all electronic systems in the vehicle, potentially requiring reconfiguration of radio presets, clock settings, and other personalized electronic preferences. Model-Exact Challenges Different Hyundai Elantra model years present unique TPMS challenges. The 2011 Elantra features its reset button in the right lower area beside the steering wheel, while 2019 models place it on the left side under the dashboard. Models from 2017-2020 require a exact reset sequence followed by a 10-minute drive for complete recalibration. Older models might lack a dedicated reset button entirely, necessitating alternative methods like the inflate/deflate technique to reset the system. When to Seek Professional Help for TPMS Problems While many TPMS issues in your Hyundai Elantra can be resolved with DIY methods, certain situations call for expert intervention. Professional assistance becomes necessary when the TPMS light persists even though multiple reset attempts. This stubborn illumination often indicates deeper problems with the system that require specialized diagnostic equipment. Faulty sensors represent another common issue beyond typical DIY answers. Each tire contains a pressure sensor that communicates with your vehicle’s computer system, and when these sensors fail, they typically need professional replacement. Signs of sensor malfunction include erratic pressure readings or a TPMS light that activates even when tires are properly inflated. Complex system errors in your Elantra’s TPMS warrant professional attention as well. These errors might involve communication problems between the sensors and the central receiver or issues with the TPMS module itself. Technicians possess the proper diagnostic tools to identify these exact communication breakdowns and carry out appropriate fixes. Battery-related sensor issues frequently require expert handling. TPMS sensors contain small batteries with 5-7 year lifespans, and when these batteries die, the entire sensor usually needs replacement. A certified technician can properly diagnose whether your problem stems from dead sensor batteries rather than a simple system reset issue. Wiring complications connecting the TPMS components to your Elantra’s main computer system necessitate professional diagnosis. Damaged wires, loose connections, or corrosion can interrupt the signal transmission from sensors to the dashboard display. Certified Hyundai technicians possess the expertise and access to manufacturer-exact troubleshooting procedures to address these electrical problems effectively. Maintaining Proper Tire Pressure in Your Hyundai Elantra Proper tire pressure maintenance in your Hyundai Elantra serves as the foundation for vehicle safety and performance. The recommended tire pressure for most Hyundai Elantra models is approximately 33 PSI, though you’ll find the exact specifications on the tire information placard located on the driver’s side door jamb or in your owner’s manual. Regular pressure checks are essential for maintaining optimal traction, handling, and braking capabilities. Checking Your Tire Pressure Accurate tire pressure readings come from checking cold tires—those that haven’t been driven for at least 3 hours. Use a reliable pressure gauge to measure each tire, including the spare, comparing the readings against the manufacturer’s recommendations. Temperature fluctuations significantly impact tire pressure, with cold weather causing pressure drops and warm weather leading to increases. Each 10°F change in temperature typically corresponds to a 1 PSI change in tire pressure. Why Correct Tire Pressure Matters Maintaining correct tire pressure extends beyond just keeping the TPMS light off. Properly inflated tires deliver many benefits: Improved fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance on the road Extended tire lifespan through even tread wear patterns Enhanced safety with better grip and shorter stopping distances Reduced risk of dangerous blowouts or premature tire failures Optimized handling characteristics for better overall driving experience Underinflated tires flex excessively, creating extra heat and increasing wear on the outer edges. Conversely, overinflated tires become rigid, leading to center tread wear and compromised road contact. Both conditions reduce tire longevity and compromise your Elantra’s safety features. Seasonal Tire Pressure Adjustments Tire pressure requires seasonal attention due to temperature variations. During winter months, tire pressure naturally decreases as temperatures drop, potentially triggering your TPMS warning light. Summer brings the opposite effect, with rising temperatures potentially causing overinflation. Checking tire pressure monthly and during important temperature changes helps maintain proper inflation levels throughout the year. Conclusion Resetting the TPMS in your Hyundai Elantra doesn’t have to be complicated. We’ve outlined the most effective methods from using the reset button to the driving method and even disconnecting the battery when needed. Remember that maintaining proper tire pressure at around 33 PSI is crucial for safety fuel efficiency and tire longevity. While DIY answers work for most cases don’t hesitate to seek professional help if you’ve tried multiple resets without success. Your Elantra’s TPMS is more than just a dashboard light—it’s a vital safety feature that helps keep you and your passengers protected on every journey. Frequently Asked Questions What is the TPMS in a Hyundai Elantra? The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in a Hyundai Elantra is a safety feature that continuously monitors tire air pressure using sensors inside each tire. Modern Elantras use direct TPMS technology to provide real-time pressure readings for all tires. When pressure falls below the recommended level, a warning light illuminates on your dashboard to alert you of potential issues. How do I reset the TPMS light in my Hyundai Elantra? You can reset the TPMS in your Hyundai Elantra using two main methods. First, try the reset button method by locating the TPMS button (usually near the steering column), turning the ignition to “on,” and holding the button until the light blinks. Alternatively, try the driving method by properly inflating all tires and driving above 50 mph for about 10 minutes to trigger a system reset. What causes the TPMS light to come on? The TPMS light activates when one or more tires have pressure below the recommended level (approximately 33 PSI). Common triggers include actual low tire pressure, recent tire rotations or replacements without sensor recalibration, seasonal temperature changes affecting tire pressure, and malfunctioning TPMS sensors or system components. Can temperature changes affect my TPMS readings? Yes, temperature fluctuations significantly impact TPMS readings. Every 10°F change in temperature corresponds to approximately 1 PSI change in tire pressure. This is why your TPMS light might come on during seasonal transitions, particularly in cold weather when pressure decreases. Regular pressure checks during temperature changes can help prevent false TPMS warnings. When should I seek professional help for TPMS issues? Seek professional help if the TPMS light remains on after multiple reset attempts, if you suspect faulty sensors (especially if they’re more than 5-7 years old), when facing complex system errors, or if you notice battery-related sensor failures. Certified technicians have specialized diagnostic tools to address these more complex issues and ensure your TPMS functions correctly. What is the recommended tire pressure for a Hyundai Elantra? The recommended tire pressure for most Hyundai Elantra models is approximately 33 PSI (pounds per square inch). However, the exact recommendation may vary slightly depending on your specific model year and tire size. Always check the driver’s door jamb sticker or your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s precise recommendation for your vehicle. How often should I check my tire pressure? Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips. Additionally, always check pressure when tires are cold (vehicle hasn’t been driven for at least three hours) for the most accurate readings. Seasonal changes require more frequent checks, especially during fall and winter when temperatures drop significantly. Will disconnecting the battery reset the TPMS? Yes, disconnecting the positive battery cable for approximately 15 minutes can perform a hard reboot of your vehicle’s computer system, which may clear stubborn TPMS alerts. However, this method should be used as a last resort as it will also reset other electronic systems in your vehicle, including radio presets and clock settings. https://autorepairlebanontn.com/?p=3643 Absolute Auto Repair
