I'll start: I personally would ban usury. That is, loans with interest.

Financial lobbying of politicians 🤨

💯

why? you don't belive in interest rates?

e.g. given that goods now are more expensive then the equivalent future goods, why would anybody give you that difference for free?

ok, that's two different things.

natural interest rates on a free market and rigged money scam.

But I see your point.

Just don't agree with making interest illegal (I think muslim law forbids that btw).

creditors of course need to bear the risks (again rigged now).

if interest doesn't exist the only way (on a free market) there would be the only way to fund new ideas ... become part of the business (like VC). Most likely outcome would be that capitalists would not lend anything at all.

Thank you for your constructive response

Thank you for reading my jumbled text 😂

WE HAVE THIS ABILITY RIGHT NOW…

IF I LOAN YOU 1 BITCOIN TODAY AND NEXT YEAR YOU REPAY ME THAT 1 BITCOIN IT WAS A WIN FOR BOTH OF US…

SO LONG AS YOU REPAY THE BITCOIN…YOU BENEFITED FROM WHATEVER YOU NEEDED TO DO WITH THE BITCOIN…

I BENEFIT AS I RETAINED THAT BITCOIN AND IT’S INCREASED PURCHASING POWER OVER THE COURSE OF THAT YEAR…

THAT ISNT REALLY USURY IS IT?

1 btc = 1 btc 🤷‍♂️

Naked shorting should be illegal.

What does it even mean (il)legal?

Everything conducted through voluntary interaction is your right.

I'd start with burning all laws and maybe keep magna charta.

Banks printing money out of thin air is legal (when they do it) but should be illegal

1. Living one's life without state interference

2. State interference

EASIER SAID THEN DONE… AS WE IMPACT EACH OTHER WITH OUR ACTIONS (INDIVIDUALLY AND ORGANIZATIONALLY) AND WE MUST WALK THIS LINE BETWEEN DEFERENCE (RESPECTING OTHERS SUBMITTING TO INDIVIDUALS SOVEREIGNTY) AND INTERFERENCE (GREATER GOOD TYPE OF ACTIONS)

The question wasn't about feasibility.

Remember that governance and the state are not identical concepts.

I GUESS I GOT A LITTLE OVERZEALOUS :) THANKS FOR THE REMINDER.

THIS COMMUNICATION THING CAN BE TOUGH SOMETIMES

Income Tax should be illegal

I saw no member of congress present helping during my shift

I think holding a fish suspiciously should be legal, none of your business what I'm gonna do with it leave me alone!!!

also I think barring features on a product you bought with a subscription should be illegal. E.g cars with subs for "more horsepower" or subs for heated seats. If you sell me a product, sell me the whole fucking product

Boycotting Israel should be legal. In some contexts it is now punishable and forbidden in the US.

Working to preserve your nation's racial integrity should be legal. In many countries it is not.

All recreational drugs should be illegal

And trannies and gays

Both of those things are social diseases
