Kill the dollar and move everything to Bitcoin so we can all be rich, duh.

Killing the dollar and replacing it with stable coins or Bitcoins would be a major slap in the face to evil central bankers who like to deflate our money on purpose for whatever nefarious purpose.

I’m reading a pretty good book now, The Death of Truth by Steve Brill.

Of course a little later it gets into another difference, the ubiquity of Facebook misinformation now. I have always said that Facebook is evil, but I had no idea HOW evil it really is.

I have a FB account but go there less than weekly, if that. I ignore emails from them 99% of the time. The place feels to me like I'm in the middle of a giant storm with no shelter, not knowing which way to turn, so I never hang out there. I have a Instagram account but go there even less, much less, i.e. virtually never.

Mark Zuckerberg is a man without moral compass.

More and current info on just "HOW evil it really is."

This article is about the insider book that just dropped that Zuckerberg & Co. tried to block publication of a few days ago but failed. Read the Comments! They are amazing.

This link will work for 14 days, IOW to Mar. 30, 2025

You damn well know Trump's crypto push is straight up kleptocracy. It's okay to acknowledge it.

Oddly enough I only mentioned stable coins and Bitcoin. No alt coins mentioned.

Perhaps you assumed what I meant in order to further the aims of evil central bankers. 😱

And really, think about it... if we used bitcoins as currency, so what if they decline in value? Our dollars are purposely designed to lose value over time. Why?

Is “evil central bankers” the old is new again rightwing buzz phrase being used to rationalize Trump’s coming attack on the independent Fed?

Heck if I know what he will do next. Maybe you should email him and ask.

However I have long opposed planned dollar depreciation. Why has currency been deliberately depreciated since the creation of central banks? And why do you support dollar deprecation?

We need to return to the gold standard.

I’m reading a pretty good book now, The Death of Truth by Steve Brill. One point he makes that at first I thought was good but then I had second thoughts on was the comparison of the country’s response to 911 to Covid. He said 911 caused unity and bipartisan bills to pass, and then Covid and Trump caused division. But I remember 2003 as also being pretty divisive with a lot of us revolting against Bush’s actions, like the Dixie Chicks.

Of course a little later it gets into another difference, the ubiquity of Facebook misinformation now. I have always said that Facebook is evil, but I had no idea HOW evil it really is.

There was like 5-7 days of unity right after 9/11, Bush was at something like 90% approval. Then, being republicans, Bush and Cheney and Wolfowitz clobbered that good will by sending massive doses of fascism against the country with the Patriot Act, and later of course with the insane invasion of Iraq. Never forget how cvnty those fucking evil assholes are, even in the light of Trump.

go fuck yourself you ignorant, lazy, leech. Get a real fucking job for once in your life, rather than just sitting in your chair and sucking value out of everyone's wealth.

This is how we know you are incompetent at math, incompetent at finance, and completely fucking ignorant about economics. The fuck did you become so purposefully stupid?

The President from Hell wants to suck the Fed into the Treasury Department so he can decimate it and bend it to his whim (he has no will, only whim).
 
I was thinking about this (posted before):
www.theguardian.com

Black Medal of Honor recipient removed from US Department of Defense website

Page honoring Charles C Rogers for his Vietnam war service is now defunct with letters ‘DEI’ added to website address
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com
--
But to be honest this guy was rewarded the medal before DEI so i must take it that his removal is more of an act of racist than anti-dei. Given that it is racist shouldn't the secretary of defense be deported ?

I just wanted to put down what I heard as trumps grand plan from a maga so I could revise it later.

Trump is trying to crater the economy so that the Fed will have to lower the interest rates.

The tariffs are to force US companies to build here in the US.

I think there was one other bullet point but I can’t think of it.

But the point was we need to wait and deal with the pain until things get better.

Wouldn't be surprised if Trump, Uday & Qusay, Elon, and company are buying puts before he announces tariffs, cashing out once the tariffs crash stock prices, buying calls when they're low before Trump announces the tariffs are paused, and then cashing out on those as stock prices rebound when the dicktator announces the tariffs are paused. It's not a crime if no one investigates.
