There I was a few years ago barracking for UBI thinking that everyone would get nice newly printed dollar notes in the mail.

My bad.

Thanks for clearing that up Mr Nixon.

As with the convid/vax test- 20 to 40% won't trade their sovereignty for government controlled digital lucre.

Technotyranny is likely to be attempted as described- but it will ultimately be defeated.

Extremely challenging times ahead.

I put brief thoughts here - https://substack.com/@pxx1/note/c-107046992

In short, actions speak louder than words. Substantial escalation vs China evidently more important than "reshoring" or reducing trade-in-goods deficit. Neither of the latter is realistic even in the fluffiest theory, without barriers to third countries.

FWIW I don't actually think most US financial elites are interested in a high stakes showdown with an indispensable supplier and all-around superpower. There's politics at work here too.

Oh, & the pump n' dump is well underway. 🤷
