Yes, but why stop there? Let's increase the powers of the state. Give them authority to mandate experimental vaccinations. Movement is a privilege, not a freedom. After all, this is an emergency! Grant them authority to centrally dicta

Taxation is one angle to consider, but it isn't it an inadequate band-aid for the wounds caused by easy money, artificially low interest rates and the political incentives of the US's central banking system? Look at the root cause

Once again I'm skeptical. From where I stand the entire promo reads like FB demanding regulatory capture. Of course it is done in an underhanded way, "Oh, we've been so naughty! We need the firm hand of regulation" Shade

The purely democratic view might be to let the majority choose whatever regulations they see fit for online discourse, our diets or our clothes. Tyranny of the majority, etc. Democracy isn't a value unto itself in my view. I would desc

I like verbosity. I like knowing what I am getting. I like explicitly specifying the defaults, rather than assuming or having the details buried in the documentation. Solving problems and formulating a problem solving approach takes time. T

The accusations seem baseless if it all comes down to layout or templating. Meets my expectations of Vice coverage.

Good for him and OpenSrc. I won't be signing up, but I wish them the best. The part about Truth.social claiming all src beining proprietary sounds disappointing, but then this is Vice covering Trump so who knows? The outrage over Trump

Tether has issues without a doubt. Yet as a long time media watcher, the concerted media push feels suspicious. Wouldn't be surprised if this becomes yet another way to rationalize CBDC.

A purely private system could be imagined where individuals could seek redress for damages. The private property argument generally doesn't give an owner the right to interfere with another property owner's use of property. Privat

Consider that the etymology of 'dollar', coming from 'thaler' has always meant a fixed weight of metal. Yes, for me there is some irony there. We still call them dollars, not debt instruments or tally sticks. As you say

I sympathize with the observation of hypocrisy, but disagree that this excuses Tether. The USD note once featured the words, "This certifies that there has been deposited... payable to the bearer on demand". At least in this case
