we'll get a variation on that idea
once physical currency has been abolished, we'll all be tied to the payment processors.
it looks bad already, and we're nowhere near critical mass
Physical currency has already been abolished. I don't think there are any currencies left that are tied to real commodities anymore.
quite
but i'm talking more about having no physical means of exchanging currency
makes it far far easier to control individuals
Doesn't make it much easier than central banking already does. The only "commodity" tied to money now is governments with guns.
Everything is money though. If people start trading with some other currency government can't control, then their power to control people will be reduced to almost nothing. If no one is using their currency, their currency is worthless, so they can hardly buy guns and soldiers to protect themselves.
omg
so if we all just agreed to use something that can't be made anymore
or super rare
then
lie

Denationalization of money is effectively the denationalization of government.
Although they could just start seizing real assets at that point to sustain themselves. You used to be able to pay taxes in tobacco.
you used to get paid in salt
USD will always have value
It’s really the only valid payment for taxes
So crypto all day everyday but if you are caught avoiding taxes rub roh
Google just want to be Skynet.
Skynet is still better than Google
I can't let you do that, Alexa.

Matt's take on the new House and AOC 60 Minutes
Is it just me or does mr. Cooper look annoyed?
Yeah, he seems kinda skeptical.
...wich leads me to my theory that AOC will burn out and never be president
I admire her optimistic outlook, but girlfriend needs to gather some specifics. People want a plan as to how to achieve these grandiose visions.
I think Matt is conflating average tax rates with marginal tax rates.
not really. the more money you make the less important the lower brackets become for you.
How much would democrats agree to if Trump tied his resignation to it?
"No deal unless Pence resigns too."
