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
now it's just constantly generated by political activists
USD will always have value
It’s really the only valid payment for taxes
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."
Pence is a bigger problem for them than Trump
Yes/no
Trump is a center left moderate.
For them yes, for support to their base no
