Once the control grid is hardened, there won't be any money at all. People in power have no need of money. Kings don't pay for anything - they simply demand what they want and they get it, or else. Money has been used as a laser pointer to play with the proles, sending them chasing around the world to collect it, fighting with each other stealing from one another. It's been the best distraction ever to keep the 8 million proles from finding and lynching the 8000 or so that actually have power. Once control is fortified, money will disappear. There will be no way to store wealth, as the proles won't be allowed to own anything. When a prole wants something, it will make a request, probably through an app on a brain chip or something, and if the powerful decide to grant that wish, the prole will receive that product. It's been said that the powerful want to be gods, like the pharaohs of old. In this manner, they will become gods - receivers of "prayers" and ultimate decision makers of who gets what. So, there will be a collapse/evaporation of money at some point, but not until control is firmly established. 8 million enemies are difficult to placate. LIke nitroglycerin, they have to be handled properly but can be useful - my guess is that "lab rats" for the research of immortality will be high on the list of uses. So, how 'bout those Astros? :)

Join the club, dude. I put in $450k. At $2k per month, the principal will be returned in 225 months, or 18 years and 9 months. Then the interest on money held for over 50 years should kick in, at age 80+. Social Security isn't a "ponzi scheme". The government should be way AHEAD, given actuarial tables, on any worker that sacrificed a portion of their pay for a minimum of 20 years, which is of course the large majority. What is bankrupting Social Security is that it has been turned into a welfare program for various disenfranchised folk. I'm not against helping people out, but the USA already HAS a benefit program for the poor, colloquially called "welfare". Why all aid to the disenfranchised isn't put under ONE umbrella, which would obviate the need for dual workforces to review each case (retirees take almost no review service as the records are plain to see from all sides, beneficiary, employers and government) is the result of bureaucracy. In any case, you're correct. The Social Security retiree program is a giant money producer for the government. It is outright thievery for those forced to comply.

Nice try, you white supremicist. We see what you're up to. 😃

I honesty feel sorry for them and for their families. Somehow (maybe fortunately) most of my friends, all of whom are staunch followers of government dictates, have persevered. A lot of them get sporadic ailments that I cannot specifically attribute to their unwarranted obedience, but who knows. I think that maybe the warm conditions here in the south coupled with general incompetence and negligence may have worked in our favour in that maybe the vaccines were allowed to warm beyond their "efficacy" before being administered.

in those days, at the supermarket I overheard a masker talking to an employee of the store: "well, it won't matter - they'll all be dead soon anyway". I wonder if the speaker is still alive.

This was my exact living space in the 80's, except I had no TV and the "door" to my room was a gigantic American flag that served as a curtain from the hallway. My entertainment (not pictured) was a turntable, receiver/amp and some radio shack speakers, and 1500 pieces of vinyl. They didn't have bitcoin then. :)

reminds of the good old days when bars always had two cash registers. for only one bartender. 😎

When was the last time that you shoved someone down a flight of stairs? We have opportunities to do evil all the time, yet we do not. I wonder how that notion got into our heads? :)

Bangladeshis have found the only way to effectively oppose government rule. Stop working for the goverment. No signs, no scrraming, no tear gas, no LRAPS. Government is in a panic. The proles have been ordered back to work, and maybe some will comply. If they are smart, they will hee dthe words of Homer Simpson: "If you don't like your job, you don't quit! You go in every single day and do it really half-assed, That's the American Way. All of totalitarian rule by governments worldwide can be ended with literally no effort at all. Just stay home. #stopworkingforyourenemy www.yahoo.com/news/bangladesh-orders-striking-tax-officials-145905886.html
