Elon Musk is becoming a one-man rogue state – it’s time we reined him in

Elon #Musk is, more or less, a #RogueState. His intentions are self-serving and #nefarious, and his nation-state level resources allow him to flout the law with impunity.

To put it into context, if dollars were metres, Musk’s money would be enough to take him to Mars and back, while a mere millionaire could only make a round trip from Paris to Amsterdam.

He has:

e mustn’t make the mistake of playing nice with the world’s richest bully

The Keep it #Cash street campaign and initiative was set up in April 2022 as a response to the alarming rate at which the #UK is moving towards a cashless society.

The objective of Keep it Cash is to inspire and help develop a street based movement of activism in our town and cities to not only promote the use of cash more with the public, but to engage with the public more about how the financial system is changing into something dangerous and what a digital currency and economy means for them and their rights.

Why are we campaigning?

A digital currency, economy and digital id is a threat to us all for the future.

Not only will a digital currency mean that the government and banks can track every transaction and every move you make, it also means that if linked with a social credit system, every purchase you make and every time you pay for a service your social credit and bank account could be cut according to what the government set as desirable. In a new economy based on data harvesting, this could be anything from how much meat you eat, how much alcohol you drink, how many miles you’ve done in your diesel or petrol car that contribute to carbon emissions , or it could based on what you say on social media or whether you’re a political activist that’s critical of the government.

A digital #economy not only is a likely tool for #tyrants to #control #people,

it is an attack on the most vulnerable in our society; the elderly, poor, disabled and self employed who rely on the use of cash. it is also an attack on jobs. Millions of jobs will go to automation, AI (artificial intelligence) and robotics.

Research from the post office shows that 8 million people would struggle to live without cash and that 1.4 million do not have a bank account.

Many shops and business are moving towards cashless payment systems and the announcement that from September 2022 all National Rail ticket offices will close down to be replaced by a cashless, online ticket system, is a big step towards a cashless society in the UK.

However, the good news is that statistics from the Bank of England show that cash circulation has gone up since 2020 and has been rising in recent years in most countries apart from Sweden. This is because during times of economic crisis people prefer to manage their finances with cash.

Self-reflection (or lack thereof)
I do love this! "Approximately perfect" IMHO.

Saw this, btw, on #Mastodon, which I've been watching as it takes on over a million new users in one week since Musk bought his new toy and became king of the sandbox.

Regrets, even hidden ones, among our billionaire 'winners'?
"2 out of 3" ain't bad. [#TrumpVirus is a denial and craziness category all his own.]

#Mindfulness? Zero out of three is perhaps cause for concern.

All 3: "Danger!" "Danger, Will Robinson"

UPDATE: According to reports, #Trudeau did not have enough support to uphold his use of the #Emergencies Act in the Senate, which was set to vote on the matter tonight. So, apparently, in order to save himself the embarrassment, Trudeau caved in and announced he was #revoking the act. Even one of Trudeau’s hand-picked Senators, Pierre #Dalphond, turned on him earlier today, saying he would not vote for the act over concerns about how Trudeau was #abusing his near-limitless powers to #violate citizen’s charter #rights.

Trudeau to protesters: ‘Isn’t there a hospital you should be going to bother right now?’

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau on Monday appeared to taunt angry protesters who attempted to drown out a planned interview in British Columbia, by asking them if there was “a hospital you should be going to bother right now?”

At one point, while the song “We’re Not Gonna Take It” played through loudspeakers on a cart, one protester called Trudeau a communist and made derogatory comments about Trudeau’s wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau.
