RE: US Already Bankrupt, It Just Won't Know It For 5.6 Years - Why We Need Bitcoin
While I do agree with your premise. My question is, what responsibility does the ordinary citizen have in all of this? We know that the Fed is out of their control. But as far as the politicians are concerned. They did not fall from the sky. They did not get into office by a coup. The US, despite its shortcomings, is a democracy. And while their approval rating is so low, the fact is that US citizens vote for them.
One also has to take into consideration the consumerism that is a mainstay of the US culture that is helping to keep the system purring sweetly. And you also mention the army. The 1% is not sending their kids to fight wars.
Again, I agree with pretty much all of what you said, but at some point, should the people not bear some of the responsibility?
It's not a democracy. It's a republic. A corrupt person is always going to get voted in no matter what. If a good person happens to get through and starts making changes they'll be removed or assassinated.
Point taken. But having spoken to people on both the left and the right, they go along with what is given to them. But look for example on the left you had Bernie and you had Jill. You also had libertarian candidates. Now, whether or not you liked their policies at least they were coming with something a bit different and many people rejected them.
Ok so Bernie get's elected. He tries to take away power from the elite and gets murdered like JFK and Julius Caesar. No more Bernie.
Statistically, there is no choice. The politicians are not in control of the system. I live in California. Because of the broken electoral college my vote doesn't count. The democrat wins California every time no matter what.
The Federal Government doesn't control the Federal Reserve. The strings are being pulled from above. It doesn't matter who gets elected. Politics is a distraction.
Point take. And I have had similar concerns. Do you think it is even possible to get rid of the electoral college?
And
Concerning the Feds. How does one even approach that issue? Can anything even be done to the Feds?
The day of reckoning is near. This bloated debt-based economy will no longer be able to sustain itself. I thought it was all going down in flames but perhaps the blockchain can smooth out the transition. That's honestly why I'm here in the cryptospace.
I couldn't agree more.
But even though the blockchain is here many are gonna suffer horribly. Some people I reckon are not gonna embrace this solution. But who knows. let's see.
They are equally partners in crime, the days are coming for them to be judged too. Natural Law is fair.
I think that's a little unfair.
It is only in the last few years- the internet years- where people have had access to the information. Information we never really had access to, and only a small group until then, in control to decide the information the public had.
Up until then, we had a naive trust we put in our politicians, media etc...
So equal partner in crime? - gullible maybe, not criminal.
i.e., what goes around comes around?
