You must be a pretty boring person if all you ever talk about is what group you belong to
What payment method did you use
Well governments can ban it, and lots already have. But they can’t literally stop people holding or using it. The question is whether there is a difference. If there’s jail time for someone saying they’re using it then things have to get pretty dystopian before people will take that risk
Just trust me. That’s all you gotta do

Veto overrides are relatively rare in U.S. history. Since the founding of the country, Presidents have issued over 2,500 vetoes, and Congress has overridden fewer than ten percent of them. Here are a few key points:
1. **Total Vetoes**: As of now, there have been about 2,584 presidential vetoes.
2. **Successful Overrides**: Out of those, only around 112 vetoes have been successfully overridden by Congress.
3. **Success Rate**: This means that Congress has overridden about 4-5% of all presidential vetoes.
4. **Historical Examples**: Notable veto overrides include Congress overriding President Gerald Ford's veto of the Freedom of Information Act amendments in 1974 and Congress overriding President George W. Bush's veto of the Water Resources Development Act in 2007.
In summary, achieving a two-thirds majority to override a veto is difficult and rare, requiring significant bipartisan support.
Because most people don’t know what that means
What about a hard fork in bitcoin that sets say 1% of all mined bitcoin and puts it in a pot, to be allocated in a way that is consensus approved in the hard fork (at a minimum; enforcement of transactions and remediation/ disincentives for bad actors). Not foolproof but satoshi wanted to go from 15-30% government spending to 0% which is kind of so beyond what we have evolved to cope with and also means there is no centralised force to combat other centralised forces (eg current governments) other than what people give voluntarily.
Well the Prime Minister certainly has a big input into what is introduced in parliament through his cabinet
There’s nothing glorious about nature. It wants to fucking destroy you
Well maybe not. Maybe he could have signed executive orders to stop congress raising the debt ceiling or something. That oughta do it
I know I’m supposed to be impressed by this but I’m just not
