The people at the Fed are frighteningly stupid. I guess they are perfectly qualified to do their job.

Looks great! I'm seeing a browser version, is that correct?
Defeat facial recognition. These guys do a really sweet range of groovy shades with Infra Red blocking lenses and other features to defeat facial recognition. They also accept bitcoin.

Haha instead of planting fake extremists they'll have to plant fake normies, so they can say Putin influenced them and now look what happened!
I think the infrastructure is struggling to keep up with demand, frankly.
It's basically a custodial system based based on IOUs as text messages. I guess if we're happy to accept the risks of a custodial system then lots of other ideas are possible too. I guess we could even do this with bits of paper, with exactly the same level of trust as Manchakura.
I want a house that's like an old fashioned gymnasium. So, to get upstairs I have to climb wall bars, to get to the bathroom I have to swing on a rope across a gap, slide down a pole to the kitchen etc etc. Stairs and level floors are for boring people who don't want to use their bodies much.
Basically the DS, Fed, Cabal, Govt have committed to saving the financial system no matter what. In other words, money first, people second. That's bad news. The Fed system is way past its sell-by date and has been on life support for 50 years. 40-50% of all $ printed have been printed in the last two years. The public debt curve has gone vertical. This is not an act of god, it's intrinsic to the ponzi scheme called fractional reserve banking. Bailouts? We aint seen nothing yet.
Those responsible were faced with a choice a few years back: say they got it wrong, take their punishment, resign their positions, hand power and wealth back to the people to whom it really belongs... or start killing off their creditors; you and me, and especially grandma. Easy to see which route they chose.
Rather than let their system fail, they've used inflation to keep it going which causes intolerable suffering on the ordinary people of the world. The really cynical part is that they will then use the suffering as a means to offer hope, then dependence, then finally control, as they present the solution; CBDCs synced to social credit scoring. We will be told we need both, because in order to prevent all this ever happening again, we will need to behave properly in future, and we peasants can't be trusted to control ourselves.
So now the people will be faced with a choice. The more suffering people can be duped into tolerating, the further down this path we will go. And of course, feeling your own pain and suffering is now a disease, and there are endless psychiatric, behavioural, pharmaceutical answers to that, and you'd better take them or else...
No they've solved the financial crisis by turning it into a human crisis. There won't be a financial crisis. As the human crisis gets worse and worse, people will just increasingly say bollocks to this and do something else. Once the great walkout gets going that's when the system will feel really threatened and the real war begins.
I bought some mail order cigars with... bitcoin! No sales tax no import duty saved about 80% of the cost of retail. Looks like they'll arrive just in the nick of time. Now all I need is some popcorn.
As an osteopath I say stay away from the milky end, definitely. You can trust me, I'm not a doctor.
No google pay, no apple pay for me. No paypal either. I currently use cash, card, direct bank transfer, and bitcoin. And that's it.
Oh good. Well if you're ever in our part of Australia look me up.
Oh god, it's something else isn't it?
I'm too old and too straight for NOSTR.
Ok good. Every word has another meaning on NOSTR. Raw Milk's probably the name of the handshake between Linux Mint and Honda Fireblade engine management system or something. Or it could just be some stuff that comes out of a cow I guess.
Oh crap, I forget, everyone on here is a dev, so I've probably just said something really stoopid!
