“Fui marxista, sí. Pero esa teoría nunca fue puesta realmente a prueba. El test es muy simple: si los ricos mantienen pobres a los pobres, entonces los países con más multimillonarios deberían tener también más pobreza. Sin embargo, al comparar los datos, Estados Unidos tiene más multimillonarios que África y Oriente Medio juntos, y aun así el nivel de vida de los pobres en Estados Unidos es más alto que el de la población de esas regiones. Por ese simple criterio, la teoría no se sostiene.”
— Thomas Sowell
I hope everyone will read Dave Ramsey’s comments about going cashless. It’s a two minute read. No one has explained it better. He brings up several situations I'd never considered.
I took this picture of my receipt in my beautiful town Kerrville Texas. I support this and I can see how this could affect our kids by having gaps in work ethic, financial literacy, and community connection.
Dave Ramsey repost:
HERE'S WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here & there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:
* If you are struggling with your mortgage on a particular month, you can’t do an odd job to get you through.
* Your child can’t go & help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash.
* No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays.
* No more money in birthday cards.
* No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money & to learn about the value of earning.
* No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting $20 a week away for.
* No more little jobs on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table.
* No more charity collections.
* No more selling bits & pieces from your home that you no longer want/need for a bit of cash in return.
* No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones.
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements & actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered & five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare & be taxed on every dollar in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can & cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.
Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time & it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.
If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to lodge cash.
Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption & hidden agendas.
Pay with cash & please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.
CONOZCALA Ella es una heroína,madre Venezolana que mantuvo vivos a sus 3 hijos alimentandolos con leche materna durante 11 dias. Fueron rescatados con vida del edificio OPP en La Guaira, Venezuela. Es un milagro. Hay mujeres que merecen un monumento.
@JoeBiden@DrBiden Those same men would if alive today would charge you and Harris for treason for leaving our borders open and letting 20 million unvetted illegals in our Country leaving we the people as sitting ducks.
Slavery is still practiced in Africa and the Middle East... Genocides are still happening to Christians in Africa.... White farmers are butchered in SA by black Marxists... Corruption is a way of life in many parts of the world.... Racism exists in Africa for tribal ancestry...
India never shed the caste system.....
Arab nations war amongst the Sunni and the Shia....
The USA may not be perfect, but we're 100 times better than most places in the world... God bless the USA
On this, America’s 250th anniversary, I have a proposal: no more apologizing for this country’s past sins for at least the next decade.
I’m a gen Xer, and the horrors of slavery, suffrage, and the Trail of Tears were preached ad nauseam at nearly every level of my education.
That’s 40-plus years of self-flagellation, and I’m from the Deep South.
While I agree that our history is far from perfect (whose isn’t?) and acknowledging those imperfections was once necessary, it’s been done to death.
And where has it gotten us? It certainly hasn’t brought us together; if anything it’s fueling the national divide that seems to grow every election cycle.
So I’m done for a while.
Going forward I’ll be bragging about our contributions instead.
You know, about how we put a man on the moon; saved the world from tyranny, not once but twice, in the 20th Century; and about how our capitalist economic dominance enabled the greatest global migration from poverty to middle class in history.
And most importantly how now, as Europe, Canada, and Australia collapse, we stand as the last great hope for the survival of Western Civilization.
So from here on out when someone bemoans our imperfect past instead of saying “I’m sorry” I think I’ll reply with “you’re welcome.”
Because if decades of apologies aren’t enough nothing ever will be, and life’s too short to try to make peace with those who profit from war.
@MAGAVoice@Heman_Save_Can Any Canadian booing America needs to pull out a map. Size does matter. I live right on the border and I’m in the US weekly. Trump is not responsible for our downfall. The liberal government and the people who continuously vote for them are.
🚨🇺🇸 BEAUTIFUL MOMENT FOR AMERICA 250
U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Diakaria Sangre received his American citizenship at Mount Vernon on the Fourth of July, the perfect day to officially join the greatest nation on Earth. (THE RIGHT WAY)
From serving in the Marines to becoming a full citizen on our 250th birthday… this is what the American dream looks like.
Welcome to the team, Sergeant. We’re proud and honored to have you. 🙏

🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...
...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY
He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."
His name is Rishi Sharma.
He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.
He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.
He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...
...FOR FREE
So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.
Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.
He does it out of pure gratitude.
In his words:
"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."
As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:
"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."
THAT is America.
250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...
God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
MUST WATCH
Two patriotic 85-year-old songwriters called the Forever Boys released a music video called “What Would You Do If America Needed You," in reaction to the recent election of multiple far-left communists.
The song calls on every American to preserve the principles and freedoms on which our country was founded.
POWERFUL 🇺🇲
They gave me permission to post and spread it to the world. Please share!
In September 2017, as Hurricane Irma approached Florida, Pam Brekke was desperately searching for a generator. Her father depended on oxygen, and she feared a power outage could leave him without the equipment he needed to breathe.
After driving more than 30 miles, Pam arrived at a Lowe's store in Orlando that had received a shipment of over 200 generators. But demand was overwhelming. Within roughly two hours, every generator was gone.
Pam was next in line when the last one was taken.
Overcome with fear for her father, she broke down in tears.
That's when a complete stranger named Ramon Santiago noticed her crying. He already had a generator in his cart and was preparing to buy it. Without even knowing the full reason for her tears, Ramon walked over and simply offered his generator to her.
“She needs the generator. It's OK,” he said.
When Pam explained that her father relied on oxygen, the moment became even more emotional. She hugged Ramon and cried, saying, “That gentleman was a great gentleman right there. God will bless that man.”
But the story didn't end there.
After hearing about Ramon's selfless act, the store arranged a free generator for him the following day. The manager called him “the hero of the day.”
Sometimes humanity appears when people need it most.
90% of the world's problems could be solved if our citizens spoke to each other.
You understand now why society and social media is designed to distance and distract us all, right?
When we're isolated, we're easy to rule over. When we're together, we're more powerful than they can handle. It terrifies them.
It is rare for a video to affect me so profoundly. Absolutely beautiful.
While I have observed numerous reactions from international visitors during the World Cup, this particular video masterfully encapsulates the essence of this phenomenon.
We do not need USG taxpayer-funded “Sports Diplomacy” initiatives to manufacture this sentiment. When global citizens are permitted to experience our nation freely and independently, these profound connections occur organically at a fundamental human level. Upon returning home, these visitors naturally dismantle prevailing misconceptions about our nation, ultimately fostering a grassroots shift in perspective that influences leadership from the ground up.
