Another idea is that if you say the word "blockchain" then regulators will get confused, traditional securities laws won't apply, and you'll be able to sell financial assets - private-company stock, real estate, etc. - without complying with the US Securities and Exchange Commission's registration and disclosure requirements.

Once again pointing out that you don't actually have to like a victim to denounce sexual abuse. The idea that women must be likable has cost women promotions, the presidency, & accountability for abuse. If you only believe victims & denounce abuse if you like them, you endorse sexual abuse as a tool

Exactly. I'm surprised at how few people seem to understand this.

UTAH… this is not a game…

HHS backtracks on pledge to disclose new vaccine advisers’ conflicts of interest RFK Jr. has pledged radical transparency, but his vaccine advisers' financial disclosures aren't public.

From Food Aid to Dog Chow? How Trump’s Cuts Hurt Kansas Farmers.

The Republicans no longer have to do anything to get the vote. After Trump hurt them the first time, 80% of Kansas farmers voted for him again anyway. Now facing bankruptcy, some say changing your vote is like changing your religion. Enjoy the poor house, MAGA voters

Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy.

No wonder so many countries are warning their citizens about travel to the US. How is it different from North Korea now?
