@waltercool I still don't understand why people think that the BRICS are against the NWO.

@SockPuppet @Griffith @PurpCat @Spingebill Aren't most tolls for privatized roads?

@PurpCat @SockPuppet @Spingebill That's different. They care about safety and getting the delivery, passenger to their destination on time. You are also driving someone else's car most of the time.

@SockPuppet @PurpCat @Spingebill Regardless on how you drive, it's inevitable that you will get into some accident or be pulled over, one way or another. That's why employers don't care about traffic violations when they ask about your criminal record.

@PurpCat @SockPuppet @Spingebill I can never get away with that. So many nearby towns here are the ones that intentionally make their speed limits low and hide cops everywhere because their income comes from ticketing people. I take extra caution in those areas (or try to avoid them as much as possible), but if you are just 1/2mph above the speed limit for more than 5 seconds, expect blue and red.

@SockPuppet @PurpCat @Spingebill Unfortunately, it's hard to do the latter without doing the former right now, due to inflation. So unless you win the lottery or inherit a bunch of money/land from a recently deceased relative, there is either scam or be dependent on states and systems.

I mean, even Luke Smith had to scam credit card companies in order to afford all that country-side land.

@PurpCat @Spingebill Those markets are already saturated. You need to either think locally or think outside the box.

>The dream of wagies is to escape the cage.

The only true way to ever "escape the cage" is to find a way to be self-employed (and be successful at it) or to homestead and be 100% self-reliant (grow your own food, generate you own electricity, etc). Even before crypto, people who won the lottery were under the impression that they would never have to work again, but eventually the money dries up.

@sapphire You are at the mercy of a single entity who can drop you at anytime.

And before you bring up the electric company and ISP, if they drop you, you aren't going to be running a VPS or donating to FOSS projects either way, so it's a moot point.

@sapphire It's better than having a centralized man in the middle. I'd rather have random people take a cut of my transactions than some single, rich monopolist taking a cut.

Can someone with experience with GNU Taler tell me if it's potentially better than crypto? Do any of the government laws regarding crypto also apply to something like GNU Taler? What are it's shortcomings outside of it's obscurity.

I'm well aware that crypto has some major flaws but I really do think that it's important for us to have a digital exchange medium that is decentralized and allows us to made (somewhat) anonymous transactions.
