Ummm..... smug arrogance. All you know is what your personal pundit lineup tells you, we're all relying on experts and the latest data. I imagine you are a C+ student trying super hard to seem smarter than everyone else because you dont wanna be made fun of. Enjoy that characterization.

I wish you could manage to properly inform an audience, cash is the preferred medium exchange for drug dealers, enough people got busted in dark web stores because the crypto transactions were traced to them. These cyber criminals are following the curve.

@lucasstanding6510 oh I know what my ending comment did, it was a mirror statement to reflect the same dismissive attitude towards people you dont know that he seemed to have. Also, you are talking about vaccines like that's the only thing the truckers are fighting for, which is couching the the discussion unfairly. People of any educational status want more economic freedoms and to take safety into their hands the way they see fit. What you dont seem to acknowledge is the sentiment among a lot of people who are tired is, "long enough with these limiting policies, I'm tired and I dont think I'm being kept that much safer compared to being free considering there's been ample time to get vaccinated and there are problems to being locked down that bother me more than this virus" like depression and increases in domestic violence.

@lucasstanding6510 oh my bad, sorry I didnt acknowledge your grand inference on how people who hold blue collar jobs have less educational accolades than people with liberal arts degrees, absolutely groundbreaking, dont think that's even a stereotype yet. You can use whatever data set you want to characterise your opposition. Really your just doubling down on the OPs outlook with a larger vocabulary this time, but the content is still not as nuanced as you think. All your saying is that people with less formal educations dont trust formalized systems and concepts they dont understand. Think of it this way, if we went back a hundred years then you'd be pushing eugenics as the socially responsible thing to do for the future of humanity, after all, it was leading science of it's time and you would be shitting on those who are hesitant by calling them uneducated and backwards thinking (likely). Its an ugly comparison but it's worth considering since scientific concensus can lead us astray, and then when one political party sees itself as the "party of science" then things just start to be dogmatic and negative externalities are ignored. Food for thought, also nice job keeping it about specifically vaccines again so you dont have to acknowledge good points about your opposition.

@lucasstanding6510 No hard feelings for sure :)... we probably would be friends in real life since I enjoy debate and your scholar level response indicates you do, too. I'll look further into the author's you mentioned, I've heard their ideas discussed before but havent read the source material so I'll use some audible credits for that. I was being inflammatory with my sarcasm 100%, been looking to drum up a serious challenger and you got my respect. Anyways, I'm commenting from my phone so I wont ever be able to hit the depths you will and there are some tidbits I want to dissect from your response but will refrain. To a certain extent we are arguing a bit past eachother, but all in all you got me to do more research and I have to give props for you taking the time. Stay thoughtful and engaged!

They expected him to do the things he said he would do, too bad he is a notorious liar but many people thought they were Trump whisperers and could tell when he was lying and when he wasn't.

The Truth: Gov's want to delegitimize current crypto by associating it with crime to suppress consumer interest while secretly working on their "legit" forms that is much easier to track for them.

They are trying to create an underclass of americans who will be as easy to exploit as foreign labor by taxing us to death with tariffs and then alleviating the tax vurden of the wealthy who will just continue rent seeking behavior and usher in neofeudalism.
