Lol ,oh that is precious. Trust me, having physical cash is not safer. The government will just arrest you when you show up with cash if it is not stolen before then.
- Comment on Death to Nickels 3 days ago:
No that really wasn’t their point. The government already has complete visibility without having up have an official digital currency.
There are also a host of problems with carrying cash and but it is not really anonymous either.

Oh you sweet sweet child. The government has complete control over Visa/MasterCard already. If they tell them to shut someone off they do. They also have complete access to what everyone buys.
This all happened a long time ago.

First we find out Microsoft is participating in genocide and now we find out Facebook has betrayed the US for more money. Can these corporations sink any lower?

The boom bust cycle is a feature of how we do capitalism in the US. It is related to an unsustainable growth mindset.

- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Now is the time to push for new privacy laws and limits on advertising and the use of public relations in media. The path of the US is an illustration on what not to do.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
I think you are missing the point. Media is controlling the narrative and purposely ignoring the protests. We have twice as many people protesting right now compared to the peak of the defund the police movement.
They could get a shit ton of clicks by covering protests. This isn’t about random event not being cohesive enough or algorithms ignoring events. It is purposeful manipulation by are newly minted ruling class under Donald Cuck.

They already took over social media, that was the final push that put a literal conman back in the Whitehouse.

The point of no return was when a bunch of wealthy slavers decided to create a country by and for themselves. Everything else is just projection and propaganda.
- Comment on Erasure 1 month ago:
I think the issue is the US was founded by the wealthy for the wealthy. The solution is more than just writing your representatives, demonstrating, and getting involved with local politics. All these things can help the situation, but they won’t solve the problem.
We really need a new constitution that protects our rights. We need to be able to say everyone is guaranteed access to housing, medical care, education, work, and privacy. We need to state that governments and corporations cannot manipulate people anymore. They are using the best of psychology and sociology science against us, this is unacceptable.
We have to ensure resources are fairly distributed, that wealth is spread out, and that our political institutions are designed to resist corruption. We have to look past popular vote for representation along with all the other systems we use that trap us in this never ending cycle of pitting people against each other for political gain. We need to move beyond having the government be an abusive entity representing monies interests.
Until we get these things we will never be able to move on. We will forever be trapped in a system that only values how much it can extract from us.

Finally we discover the cause of autism. We are coming for you Pluto, you wanna be planet.
- Comment on Erasure 1 month ago:
Typical American response. Yeehaw you gonna kill some people er what!?
Attacking each other is not going to solve this problem because the wealthy have been pitting us against each other for a long time now. It was the wealthy that cause WWII and every other major war where everyone but them ends up dying.
I agree there are better alternatives.

- Comment on Marjorie Taylor Greene calls on NPR, PBS to appear for hearing on media bias 2 months ago:
“Germany spends $142.42 per person on its public media. Norway spends $110.73, Finland $101.29, Denmark $93.16. Leave Scandinavia for Western Europe and you see the U.K. at $81.30, France at $75.89, and Spain at $58.25. Heading a bit east? The Czech Republic’s at $60.08, Estonia $55.70, and Lithuania $32.71.
Only trust the Anglosphere? Try Australia $35.78, New Zealand $26.86, or Canada $26.51. How about Asia? Japan spends $53.15, South Korea $14.93. Africa? Botswana’s at $18.38, Cabo Verde $15.22.
And then there’s the United States — which spends $3.16, per person, per year, on public broadcasting. Ten quarters, four dimes, five nickels, and a penny.”
Please, just stop with your nonsense.

NPR receives a small number of competitive grants from CPB and federal agencies like the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce. This funding amounts to less than 1% of revenues.

I am a little disappointed this is not one of those pictures you need to squint to see. Someone should jam this and Gwyneth Paltrow’s hoo-ha into stable diffusion. For humanity, of course.

I am not a big fan of Obama, but he definitely tried to close it down and would have if it was not for the conservatives at the time.
