So Trump says he supports Amendment 3, which would legalize recreational cannabis in Florida. Ron DeSantis and various "young republican organizations" oppose it. What? You would think younger republicans would be supportive of this. It used to be that younger people, even republicans, were more likely to be pro-cannabis. These kids need to get off of Tik Tok and go get high and if they are lucky, laid. Young people are doing less drugs and having less sex than prior generations and that's probably why they are so anxious 😆.
Also Harris says that Trump changing his position on cannabis is "blatant pandering" considering his record on the issue, which is true but it's also exactly what Kamala did! She aggressively prosecuted cannabis offenses during her career as the DA of San Francisco and then as the AG of California, and now she supports cannabis reform. Pandering or not, I think its a positive thing that both candidates have come out in support of cannabis, maybe cannabis will finally be rescheduled.

We live in a country where the state can kidnap your child by force if you are even suspected of using an unapproved substance. No due process, no confirmation, no evidence of neglect or addiction is required. They seperated this mother and child during a imporant bonding period. This will likely negatively affect the child's entire development.
What really irritates me is that many people want the government to have even more power to do bullshit like this than it already has. They want the government to be deeply involved in every aspect of this child's life for their entire life, starting even before birth.
Claiming all wealthy people are dangerous or the oppressors is an example of the "affirming the consequent" fallacy. Just because the entire power structure that oppresses you is wealthy doesn't mean wealth in of itself is bad. Many wealthy people have never harmed anyone and some have been targets of the state themselves (Roger Ver is a good example). Stop demonizing success! Robbing rich people will not solve our problems. The true oppressors, the government, would love for you to direct your anger at wealth instead of them. By promising to steal from the rich and give it to the poor, they gain the support of the masses while they continue to subjugate them. Income inequality would be better addressed by removing regulations that prevent people from easily starting their own businesses, adopting sound money, ending taxes, ending the corporation itself as a protected structure, and ending government meddling in the markets and business entirely. Through regulations, politicians are able to craft legislation in a way that benefits their friends and special interests. With no regulations, everyone would be on a level playing field and inequality would decrease. Not having regulations doesn't mean businesses can do whatever they want! Without the corporate structure to hide behind, business owners would be liable for the actions of their business. If they cause harm to someone, that person would have the right to seek restitution or defend themselves.
Imagine if Hitler and Stalin came back from the dead and won the Republican and Dem. primaries, and MLK Jr. was running 3rd party. The winner would still be Hitler or Stalin because sheeple would be too worried about wasting a vote to vote for MLK. Vote for Stalin, because he's not Hitler! Don't split the vote! 👎

As if judges don't already have an ego problem, this is what happens when they start livestreaming and trying to get more views. The law is simply a religion that is forced upon you. They think that you as a mere peasant are too stupid to understand the sacred text, intentionally obfuscated with legalese, therefore the chosen ones will tell you what it means. If you pay your indulgences (spend alot on bail and lawyers), your sin can be absolved, but if you don't have enough money you are likely going to prison and will be marked forever as a heretic (felon). You must show the priests (judges) in their sacred black robes respect and stand when they enter the church (courtroom) or you will be punished by the Inquisitors (cops, prosecutors). Sorry but we don't need thousands of laws and a bunch of power drunk priest judges to tell us what is right and wrong. Either you have harmed someone or you haven't.
Harris wants to institute price controls to protect you from "greedy" grocery stores. Food prices have nothing to do with corporate greed, grocery stores have low margins, as in 1.18% net profit across the industry. Price inflation is a result of government money printing, under the leadership of both major parties.
Yeah except they're the state and the state doesn't play by it's own rules, plus they change them whenever it suits them. They know we can't do shit about it, other than take it to the high priests on the Supreme Court. 9 boomers in black dresses then get to decide what our rights are. If regular free speech hasn't been protected they definitely aren't going to protect code.
Any time I sit and think seriously about the state of the US banking system it makes me want to dump all my altcoins for #BTC, physical gold, livestock, and hard drugs.
This dragnet style policing is effin scary. And no this wasn't some extremist video they were watching, it was just a random video that they suspected the suspect watched. The implications of this are very serious. To use Youtube privately you can use newpipe or invidious.
The EU has approved bans on commercial anon cash payments of more than €3000 and all business cash payments over €10000. Anon crypto payments to hosted wallets are banned. This is an absolutely disgusting assault on liberty. This reminded me of how the BSA(bank secrecy act) limits in the US have never been adjusted for inflation in 50 years, leading to a gradual increase in tyrannical financial survelliance. 10k in 1970 was a lot of money, today you can't even pull out enough cash to buy a new car without triggering an SAR(suspicious activity report).
Can one of the statists please explain to me how in the hell a 30% tax on BTC mining, on running a computer program, is in any possible way constitutional?
bitcoin has seemed to find some acceptance above the previous all time high instead of just poking it's head above 69k and then selling off immediately. Time for some price discovery. I am oh so bullish.
What exchanges (ones without mandatory KYC only) have cheap withdrawal fees? Besides Tradeogre.
