Voting to make yourself poor is certainly a choice.
Discussion
The citizens didn’t vote themselves poor; there was no public vote.
The government chose poor for them.
CT clearly wants to stay terminally retarded for all of time.
More for the plebs. Connectors are smart - they're richer than most Americans. They'll be fine.
For now. There are more rich people in Connecticut leaving the state than coming in. Their average wealth numbers are high because 16 billionaires are still domiciled there. That will probably change as the state continues to shoot itself in the foot with laws like these
It'll be useful as a control in the big experiment. If it stays... Textbook blurbs will be written about it.
Connecticut is that old uppity “we profit from the old system and don’t want any changes” money.
I speak for myself, I come from that “I’m used to being poor so you can’t threaten me with a hot summer day and a pot of stewed beans”.
#bitcoin is my only hope. It’s hard for rich people to understand that.
We need states to make different choices so we can compare the results and make future decisions based on real world data.
lol is all I have to say
This is one of the choices of all time.
Reactionary TDS in action.
Way to resist! 😂
HFSP MFrs
I don't understand why anyone ever votes to disallow themselves from doing something. If you don't want to do it, just don't do it.
You can just not do things
They're worried it will make the people stronger and they won't be able to strong arm them into doing what they want.
Also, it's time people start understanding that it was never a democracy. The votes are sold and bought. Your vote means nothing in a Fascism.
Reading Mandibles and The Sovereign Individual is important.
Rereading them every 4/5 years even more so.
It’s wild how prescient they are.

How fascinating is it to see such polar extremes within same country, some actors totally embrace it while other totally ban it?
50 separate labs for running government.
They all have to compete with each other (and other jurisdictions outside of the US)
I was too young to really get the internet revolution, but it seems kind the same: some actors totally getting the new technology and embracing it while other totally rejecting it
Incentives visibly at work.
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont is a direct descendant of Thomas W. Lamont, a historical chairman and partner at J.P. Morgan.
Lamont got all of his money from banking and is using his political power without public vote to try defend it.
This.
Some notable quotes from his wiki:
-He was a member of the Jekyll Island Club on Jekyll Island, Georgia.
-On Black Thursday in 1929, Lamont was acting head of J.P. Morgan & Co. Five days prior to the Crash, President Herbert Hoover had contacted Lamont with concerns about the rampant market manipulation by Wall Street insiders, and the systemic risk it presented to the stock market. Lamont reassured the President that there was no cause for concern, and no need for government intervention, saying "The future appears brilliant!"
The market crashed the following Thursday. In an attempt to stop the panic, Lamont organized Wall Street firms to inject confidence back into the stock market through massive purchases of blue chip stocks.
Bitcoin exposes the financial terrorists and oppressors.
Bitcoin is Freedom Money.
Hopefully the masses open their eyes and throw their oppressors in the garbage bin.
Good! Let’s hope more States follow suit. The longer governments ban themselves from #Bitcoin, the better for the rest of us.

Home of Peter Schiff. Connecticutt is a fiat castle.
HFSP and ghetto CT 🙄
Nobody wants to live in Connecticut anyway
how about voting for the largest debt ceiling increase in american history while claiming to be the party of fiscal responsibility?
Who cares about their permission? They can't even allow anything.
Honestly, it’s a funny one. I intend to get a steady amusement yield from this for years.
