Let's take a big step back. Before anyone has a say in what's done there, let's stop the abuse of the interstate commerce clause. Local jurisdiction is local, and the excuse that down the road money will change hands in an unrelated transaction because of this one is the worst abuse of the constitution out there.

$133k doesn't buy nearly as much as it used to. And it depends on where you live.

"upper class" never meant a relative income percentage. It has always meant a lifestyle. "Upper middle class " means you can afford a three or four bedroom house in a safe location with good schools, that you can absorb a series of financial shocks like dead appliances and car accidents without trouble, that your whole family has decent health insurance, that you can choose to go on vacation every year to a foreign country and still save for retirement.

If your face is being transmitted, the fact that it's being translated into "tokens" first is no more relevant than that it's being translated into bits first. Your image is being sent to a company that sells the information one way or another.

There isn't unlimited time to debate every point while our oligarchy rapes kids and starves the poor.

Rest in peace MJ Rathbun

I had a Visio monitor. It was very well designed.

This is from the Kurtzman school of film. Virtue signal, create woke garbage, and anyone who doesn't like it is ist. The purpose is demoralization, not money-making.

You sound like a naive, teamism-consumed person.
