This is naive and incorrect. There is a reason why darknet markets these days only deal in Monero these days, for the most part.
I’m not saying it’s trivial, but there are literally corporations dedicated to analyzing block chains for law enforcement. It’s an entire industry.

Nearly every cryptocurrency (aside from like Monero), are literal open, transparent ledgers that anyone can view and analyze.
It’s not anonymous at all.

I’m aware you didn’t come up with it, but I could not care less that Hegel said it. It’s fucking stupid.

I never said I didn’t believe you, I just believe that evil exists only in the eyes that see evil everywhere.
This honestly has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. You cannot seriously believe this, right?

No it’s not.

The mental gymnastics are wild… If the people of West Virginia’s grandparents and great grandparents could see what that state has become, they’d be rolling in their graves.

Not really clear, but if you’re suggesting that my union negotiated healthcare isn’t really good, then you’re very wrong.

Would definitely cost more if it were me… Much more benefit than $700 in health insurance alone.

Public unions allow people to opt out of dues. Up until a relatively recent SCOTUS decision (Janus), they still had to pay partial fees to cover things like collective bargaining since they are still part of the same bloc as the union employees. But some conservative morons whined about it being against their beliefs to have to give money to a union (despite their partial dues literally being separated from anything politically-related. It’s just for the things they continue to benefit from), and it went to the Supreme Court.
They want to kill public unions altogether, and cutting off those partial dues means less money for collective bargaining, etc. So of course they ruled against the unions.
So they can opt out completely now.

You don’t need to explain anything, I fully understand the angle. It’s just bullshit and you bought the lie.
Every single American could stop using plastic straws tomorrow, and the outcome would be negligible compared to what would happen if a single fossil fuel corporation shut down.

Not bad… With how things are going, if Mamdani wins, I could see NYC turning into a progressive city-state of sorts that people from the rest of the country will flock to for refuge.
With no more funding from the federal government, the differences between states are going to start getting much larger and blue states (and in cases like NYC large metro areas) are going to need to step up and fill in the gaps. It’s going to be rough.
