Comment Re:Now do USPS (Score 1) 63

right, they modded me troll decade and a half ago here when I said the nations will fall apart, governments will fail, libertarian ideas will take hold. They are modding me troll today, yet it is exactly what is happening. It is possible that people are actually afraid that my comments will cause ot to jappen somehow should more people read them. My comments are not the reason anything happens, that is magical thinking by the fearful moderators. My comments are a prediction and the reality is moving in the direction of my prediction.

It doesn't matter what the law says, the grifter will do whatever he likes. The "justice" dept won't stop him. Congress doesn't have the power, and certainly not now with the spineless worms in it. And if a court case ever does come up, he'll delay it all the way up to the Fascists on the Supreme Court who will find a way to give him what ever he wants. Our only hope now is that Alzheimer's takes him faster that his Leqembi drug can keep him from looning out on TV.....well, more so than he is currently.

ICE does not need to. They probably helped finger these crims to remove competition. la Presidenta now has his own Gestapo combined with the FBI and "Justice" Dept. to wreak havoc on anyone that looks at him wrong. There is no moral or ethical bar low enough that he cannot find a way to limbo under it.

Comment Yes, an export tax is unconstitutional (Score 1) 92

But an export ban is not. And it's often said that the power to tax is the power to destroy... it turns out that works both ways. If you can ban exports, you can accept a fee in exchange for not banning them, which is effectively a tax. Not sure if it would hold up in court, but it turns out that nobody willing to challenge it will have standing.

see, here nobody accepts my belief system, they have moded both of my comments as "troll", yet I never troll here, I always say what I mean when it comes to tech, politics and economics. To mode my comments as "troll" means to declare that I do not believe and practice what I say or maybe that I am trying to start some sort of a riot. The former assumes that I am not serious, the latter assumes that everyone reading these comments camnot engage in civilized discourse, it is disgusting really, that people deny others their intentions or agency.

Correct, government shouldn't be running services, this is up to the private individuals to satisfy needs at an agreed price. Years ago here I said that at some point in the 21st century we will see collapse of the government structures, we are observing it now. The next logical step is to have all services, no matter what they are to be done privately if needed. This is what I am rooting for, I am hoping to see it in this life time.

Cryptocurrency is specifically intended for the use of people who don't want Xi, Putin, Trump, Modi or God-help-you von der Leyen deciding how and where they put and use their money. If govenments couldn't resist using the monetary system for spying on and controlling their citizens, crypto wouldn't have much of a draw.
