Good idea that will soon be integrated into mainstream banking - at which point it will become a bad idea, just like all the others. In principle though, any means by which private individuals can conduct commerce without the interference of the state is a good thing. I don't have any. I was offered bitcoin as payment for a project, years ago. Probably be worth a fortune now. Should have taken it.

I'm afraid the correct answer was, 'SHIT! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SHIT?'

you're still ignoring my point that politicians have more influence than you like to think

I didn't say they don't have influence over us, I said they don't make the decisions they just implement them.

It's exactly the opposite - they make the decisions and the civil servants implement them

Oh yeah, I forgot, just like on the TV?

That must be why so many manifesto pledges are honoured then.

Yeah. I don't understand this notion that the politicians are mere figureheads.
Trump's administration has been very...Trumpy. The money he got for the wall, that wouldn't have happened under a different president.
He's been making executive orders all over the place to do the things he wants.

Why, at this late stage in the game, do we see information that was known months ago? People who could be bothered to take the most cursory glance had a fair idea of at least some of the facts at a very early stage. But none of this has been reflected in the media. None of it has emerged at those podiums where our glorious leaders give the sermon. Fuck COVID19, that's not the main issue. We have to raise families, hold down jobs, pay for the roof over our head. We need to be informed in order to do that effectively. And yet we are being misinformed, all the time. Is this not a genuine crisis and injustice we could all rally behind?

No one has to raise a family, it's a choice
