Not trying to argue, just throwing out a correction for what was stated, as it was worded.

Agreed that if we stay as we are today, we will deserve what we get, and it won’t be enjoyed.

I know FDR blocked gold ownership. What I was saying is that the ability to legally own gold was restored later, but FRNs were no longer redeemable in gold at face value (currently, $FRN3300 will get you 1oz, but $FRN20 obviously will not).

The gold standard, imo, is inferior to the constitutional bimetal system, which is likely going to be inferior to what’s coming. I didn’t read the article, but if it said that gold is still illegal to own, its statement is incorrect as well. My comments were only on the metals oversights, as “repeal FDR so people can own” was done decades ago.

As far as fixing immigration, absolutely. Let’s do whatever works best.

move back to gold (repeal FDR so people can own…then move back to gold standard;

Not my downdoot, but two immediate oversights here, likely why you got it:

It’s been allowed to own gold for decades, just the money isn’t directly/constitutionally exchangeable for it.

There was a 60 year long gold standard/bimetallism debate raging before FDR ever showed up.

It really isn’t, it’s just that the vanguard IS in the Democratic Party, so it looks like it.

Many more deluded people on the left, too, but plenty of ignorant and mark-missing ones on the right as well.

Oh I get that it’s unrealistic due to the nature of who we are dealing with. These people make you ask permission to drop your children off at school, ffs.

Just spitballing on potential high level solutions.

At what point do we figure out how to tear down the “driver’s” license and auto “Regis”tration scams?

That’s only $6.10 per taxpayer!

It’s a bargain, really. We should be paying him for the privilege of being allowed to pay for this thing!

What if any positive law program, that wasn’t civic or criminal - “program” type stuff, required CLEAR, UNCOERCED opt-in, with clear pathways to opt back out if so desired, while very clear and well publicized injunction/petition methods and debate forums are provided for negative laws.

When there is precedent on certain things, it should be highly visible and concise, and not in a “go search through precedent on FindLaw” sort of way, but in a quickly referenceable publication.

Generally, do a better job at allowing us into the process and providing insight into the current state, while removing the mechanisms that cause us to have to fight over levers of power.

Dunno if that whole thought is good, but pretty sure at least portions of it are pretty sensible.

How hard would it be for there to be a simple app that provided everyone a clear window into the workings of all their relevant jurisdictions?

🙏 this comment and Penisse’s are what I’m hoping for. Haven’t seen any signs of it yet, but that doesn’t mean it’s not habbening.

Yes, though I do think we should be looking to DRS all shares of all long-term held assets in the long term. Its not just a GME issue.

Or maybe they’ll make the problem irrelevant by rolling out a better trading platform, who knows.

I am hoping for a similar thing, though.

If you’re using an IRA, to DRS you have to transfer to brokerage, which counts as a withdrawal, then transfer to the TA, then to a holding company, who then moves it back into an IRA to hold the DRS shares.

This is an indirect transfer, as opposed to a direct transfer (moving from 401k to IRA or moving from one IRA to another), so you can only do one transfer per 12 months (not calendar year, 12 months from the initial withdrawal date) without incurring tax penalties.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens with IRAs given how many hypothecated shares there are of so many stocks, and how do few people have DRSed any shares at all.

That’s one time per 12 months that is plebians are allowed to somewhat take actual semi-ownership of the stocks we “own”.

Unfortunately, the trade-off on this is allowing the foreigners to take control of all the economic levers while we abandon ground there.

You are correct about it likely coming with strings.

I believe you are correct.

The “traditional” education system is based on the Prussian model, and is not what we used commonly prior to 1850-1900.

Prussia… Prussia now where have I heard that name in highly extensive research..?

$120 in 1960 being about $3000 now.

Where private school now is often $FRN7000-15000+, so not a bad tuition rate at all!

I’d like to see a biography on the other side of the camera that took photos of Nazi book burnings.

… considering they were burning sex grooming books.

Yeah that one needs it’s own dvd collection as well. Top tier.

Was the other one Brave or Edge or Firefox?

I’d recommend switching exclusively to Brave where possible.
