@BruceJohns23678 @rtflack7777 @Violette101010 Not true US Citizens are explicitly not a part of the class of "The People" mentioned in the declaration of independence / the constitution.

This is the root of the problem

[paulb @paulb360]

@rtflack7777 Now you need to learn how the term US Citizen explicitly excludes "the People"

And no, im not joking.

@CryptoAlexqnder @virtualbacon I think the idea is once the coins are put in a CEX they are supposed to be held for the owner.
Any average holder who doesn't know and wants to sell could get caught up

Totally absurd

Andrew Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, delivering the single greatest blow to financial tyranny in American history. You won't hear this story told correctly in any economics textbook, because it reveals how central banking works: as a government-sponsored cartel that redistributes wealth from productive citizens to politically connected bankers.

The Second Bank held a 20-year federal charter starting in 1816. It controlled the money supply, issued currency, and held government deposits. Sound familiar? Nicholas Biddle, the bank's president, wielded more economic power than any elected official. He could trigger financial panics at will by restricting credit. He bought newspapers and bribed congressmen. When Jackson opposed recharter in 1832, Biddle deliberately crashed the economy to punish him.

Jackson called it "a hydra of corruption" and he was right. The bank created artificial booms through credit expansion, then triggered busts when politically convenient. Biddle openly bragged about manipulating markets. Free market economists and Jackson both recognized the core insight: this was legalized counterfeiting with government backing, not free market banking.

The political establishment united against Jackson. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the entire Whig Party defended the bank. Biddle spent millions buying influence. The press attacked Jackson as an economic ignoramus. Every "respectable" voice supported recharter. Jackson stood alone with the American people.

After Jackson killed the bank, the country experienced the strongest economic growth in its history. From 1837 to 1862, America operated without a central bank. Industry flourished. Wages rose. Innovation exploded. This wasn't coincidence. When you stop subsidizing financial speculation and let productive capital find its natural home, prosperity follows.

Central banks don't stabilize economies: they destabilize them for private gain.

@jrj1130 @WildSentences If his mom lets her parther, the step dad treat her own son like that, then yeah.

I know some young men who regret not cutting off toxic family sooner.

@jrj1130 @8MindBodySoul @WildSentences Personally I wouldn't want to live under the same roof as a dude who wanted to charge me for living in my dead dad's house.

[paulb @paulb360]

@jrj1130 @WildSentences Uhh because a man who didnt pay for the house is looking to profit off it, from son of the dead man who did pay for it.

Step dad shouldn't even be allowed to love there anymore.

Mom and dad out

It’s 2018 and your coworker just sent you a 400 line pull request.

You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it.

It’s beautiful. Elegant micro-refactors. Crispy method names.

You catch a few things, but that’s ok. It’s part of the dance. They didn’t consider extensibility on part of their API. Here’s a comment buddy.

They respond in an hour saying they think we should do one piece differently than your comment. Hey let’s jump into a room and figure it out. We can’t just agree to disagree, this code is too important.

The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment.

That night you go to sleep and dream of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids, your IDE syntax highlighting sparking neurons in your reptile brain.

You go to work the next day ready to go. You understand the system. N is your foundation. Time to build n+1.

@SternbergsGhost @arctyp_cmputing @romanhelmetguy I have the same issues with grok.
One time I got grok to think for 15 minutes and then it errored and said no reply
Because of the error it showed its thoughts. The essay I gave it (on common law) it fully agreed with and said had no factual errors.
But yet, no reply...

You cab challenge the jurisdiction and the court has to prove it on record.

Thus requires defining the plaintiff, which the state hates to do in victimless crimes because it begins to open a whole can of worms.

America is under common law, which requires a corpus delecti (body harmed / victim)
If there isnt one its not a court of record, and there's going to be some kindof contract involved, so where is said contract?
