Re: In Brief:
With the rise and eventual implementation of CDDC's,(Central Bank Digital Currencies) the direct control of money is switching from wealthy individuals to the power of government.
If this is so, it would be bad for what reason?
This concerns Conservatives more so than Liberals because Liberals favor bigger government.
That is funny. Have you heard of the Republican Party?
Everything in this next paragraph is just unevidenced assertions. Can you back it with actual facts? An argument is only as good as the facts and data to back it up. "In your own words" does not mean just spewing crap.
Some say that regional (smaller) banks will eventually disappear by and large and that in this country only six major banks will survive.
Some say the earth is flat.
With the advent of CDBC's, nobody can operate apart from the central system. Money can be turned on and off to a 100x degree greater than current credit card systems.
What does this mean? Looks like random words trying to sound important.
See? You have identified what you see as the enemy of sanity and reason. You view China not as an enemy but as a worthy global competitor. You see nothing wrong with an eventual one world system of cooperation and unified goals. And to you, it matters little (apparently) whether or not the leading nation behind such a change is Communist.
Wow! That is what you got out of what he posted? You have either severe comprehension issues or are purposely misrepresenting what he said. This is the moat obvious strawman I have seen in a long time.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: In Brief:
For one thing, and I have said it before, control. I do not want a government meddling in my personal life nor my personal finances.
So you think billionaires care more about your well-being than the government? You do realize that the US is not implementing a CBDC.
Personally, I don't think anything a libertarian says is worth a damn. If a libertarian told me it was night when it was dark, I would check other sources.
Government should be able to control money. They made it.
Not surprised you ignored the majority of my response. That is what ignorant people do. Ignore what they don't understand.

Fascism is here

Re: Fascism is here
I guess what irks me is Theos authoritarian cure for free speech
Please show where I have advocated for such a thing. Just because you are wrong does not make me an authoritarian.
Are you claiming banning free speech is free speech?
Who is "they"? How are they pushing CRT? Do you have any idea what CRT is? Where is it being taught? Why do you think Amanda Gorman's work was singled out? Have you read her book?

Do you even know what a tax write off is?

Re: I see shoplifting in real time
I take that as a no. A tax write off is still an expense the company must pay for.. It is not free money.
You should never spout about finance and economics until you learn basics.

Re: I see shoplifting in real time
People stole in the great depression. The poor died in large numbers. Children were sold.
Yeah, the good old days when the poor knew their place. You are a disgusting, vile person. Classic christian.

Re: I see shoplifting in real time
Don't care. Hate. Go off the deep end. You have burned any bridges with your hate, racism and idiocy. Rot for all I care. I have reached out with a friendly hand and have had it snapped at.
