Don’t you love it when politicians tell us what is wrong with the system they supposedly control while deftly avoiding doing anything to fix it. Platitudes and bullshit. Politics is basically one of those infomercial things where you watch someone completely fuck up a mundane task, like peeling a potato is the most confusing thing in the world. Only in politics some amazing fix isn’t presented to you. They just look at the camera, shrug their shoulders and tell you how fucked this all is for you. Then they ask for your money and tell you if you vote for them they promise they will one day figure out this peeling a potato with their elbows thing.
That... I'm saving your comment. That's probably the best metaphor I've heard, regarding politicians and their bullshit.
Oh, they have plans. Expect the banks to be cut out of the new deal. They're planning to create a digital currency that come directly from the fed. They be able to know everything about your purchases and whether you are privileged enough as a good citizen to continue shopping.
Dude, the banks ARE the fed.
No, they are closely related but they act as a proxy. This proxy insulates you from undue seizure or examination without a warrant. And the many trusts and credit unions may be run by wealthy individuals, but they are far from being elite. As it stands, a court order is still required before access to your funds is denied, notwithstanding the pettiness of Chase Manhattan and Wells Fargo recently.
Almost as if modern politics isn't based upon merit.
