I had a very nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a thought just now...
I just think it's interesting that W2 employment came about in order to fight wars and reduce inflation caused by deficit spending.

And here we have the war, record deficit spending, more funding to the IRS, increased financial surveillance, FedNow, and CBDCs.
History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
