FDR’s depression bailout:
Social security
Minimum wage
15 million Government jobs created
Unemployment insurance
Biden’s bailouts:
2 trillion for corporations to buy back their own stock and fluff the stock market
25 billion airline bailout
Insignificant $1200 checks to the masses
Government should be the employer of last resort. Use that tax money to create jobs, not to boost corporate profits.
“Although various rationales were given for these wars, each was undertaken primarily to expand worldwide US military hegemony by gaining permanent American military bases in these countries. The delusionary impetus of these costly and destructive enterprises is captured by the definition of the philosophical phrase reductio AB absurdum: "a method of proving the falsity of a premise by showing that its logical consequences is absurd or contradictory."”
“Concentration of wealth leads naturally to concentration of power, which in turn translates to legislation favoring the rich and powerful and thereby increasing even further the concentration of power and wealth.”
Noam Chomsky
Who’s making a Fiat sculpture for Greenpeace?
It should look like a tank with a bunch of burned trees and dead people behind it.
Let’s call out the currency that’s really destroying the environment
Advocacy for decentralized systems and uniform opportunity for mankind is inconsistent with the myth of American exceptionalism. One must cast off identification with a nation state, and commit to being a citizen of the world.

What it says:
“Backed by the full faith and and credit of the United States Government”
What it means:
“Faith is belief without facts, but we promise to pay you back using the debt we push on others”

Economies need to be designed to provide for their participants first and foremost. Natural selection will not look fondly on a species that selects for the prosperity of a few at the expense of all others. Self-destruction is inevitable.
Lynn Margulis taught us that life developed and flourished because of the processes of symbiogenesis between various microbiota over the last 3.9 billion years. With mankind, this symbiosis innate to life has ended.
Our economy was not built to provide for the people within it, nor to encourage culture to thrive.
It was built to allow unobstructed growth of capital wielded by its designers, at the expense of a class of workers who fire its engines.
Guns and drugs are symptoms of a declining culture and of an economic system built for the few at the expense of the masses.
People are miserable. They’re poor. They’re aware that they cannot afford healthcare or good food or proper housing. They have jobs that go nowhere. They receive wages that rise slower than inflation if at all. They have no autonomy or say within the workplace. Laws are oppressive. They cannot educate their children. A sense of community and a sense of pride in existence is lacking, to be replaced with the idolatry of nationalism and scapegoating.
Sending value is exercising free speech. Encourage humanitarian organizations in black-listed areas to post a Bitcoin address so people can support them from afar.

They they can use our money to speculate because the public protections once in place to prevent this behavior have been removed. If an industry has the ability to demolish public welfare, that’s what regulations are for.
At lot of Steinbeck’s lessons were about the dangers of banks wielding control over people. He taught us that community solutions, decentralization, and advocacy for social systems and public services are necessary protections agains oligarchy and powerful corporations
Fahrenheit and Standard are such Fiat Units
Foxes guarding the henhouse:
Bankers controlling the money
Insurance controlling healthcare
Trade associations controlling trade law
We empower government to minimize the negative externalities of corporations, until the corporations rewrite their own laws to empower themselves again. Foxes are back in the financial system
And yet, Clinton repealed Glass-Steagall in 1999, and the lessons we learned in the Great Depression about the dangers of merging commercial and investment banking were forgotten.
Bankers write their own laws.
I know you guys think the "Restrict Act" - aka TikTok ban doesn't matter if you are on Nostr. But it does, this is not about banning Tik Tok.
It is about absorbing power to the executive branch to say any website or app is "associated with a foreign adversary".
Then saying you are a "domestic terrorist aiding a foreign adversary" if you use any means to access the site or app, like a VPN and putting YOU in federal prison for up to 20 years.
If you read the act the most concerning thing is how many times the term ANY is used. Basically the president or ANY of his appointed d-bags can at ANY time, for ANY reason, name ANY source of ANY information "dangerous to American security and aiding a foreign adversary" and use ANY means to suppress it, with zero checks on this declaration or actions that result from it.
Same shit they did with "The Patriot Act" after 911. The terrorists were the excuse but the average American is the target. I mean how does you getting a 1099K from PayPal prevent hijackers from flying planes into buildings. Yes that 1099K from PayPal was part of The Patriot Act. So was requiring your bank to report you to the federal government if you rent a safe deposit box from them.
The sheer number of conservatives, republicans and MAGA types supporting this shows how effective state propaganda is. After three years of legitimately shrieking about censorship, these idiots want to give unlimited censorship and prosecution power to Brandon and every POTUS that will follow.
if you think this is about Tik Tok vs. controlling the American people, turn your fuckin TV off and get a fluoride filter for your water now.

Didn’t we learn anything in seventh grade about the Alien and Sedition Acts?
We should have a Bitcoin week, wherein we only partake of goods and services that we can access using Bitcoin.
