  1. Stay as independent as possible. Outright refuse to use it. Don't make it easy for them to press for more. Start using less debit card and use more physical cash.

  3. For all its faults, it would might be better than what we have right now. But until then we need to do our part. We have to voluntarily go back to physical money wherever we can.

  4. I think the only thing the US postal service should be used for at this point is official government documents. Which means we could downsize it to almost nothing.

  6.  @whoshotashleybabbitt4924  Then I suggest you deny yourself convenience now for a while. So that in the future you don't have to deal with it. Baby steps. Getting used to a little more hardship might not be a bad thing.

  7. It just says that Congress has the power to coin money. It does not necessarily mean physical coinage though. It just needs congress's permission. That would require an amendment and I high believe in that kind of amendment.

  8. We have a public one to worry about now.

  9. @TheCarnivoreSoprano  In a way they sort of still do, but they keep finding ways to exploit the words in them and twist them. One of the big problems with the United States constitution is we used a lot of loose language. I think the founders were far true trusting. They were kind of arrogant, and the assumption that they were the end all be all to be honest- A common flaw of revolutionaries.

  10. @sonnysmith3244  My money. And I haven't black pilled. If I were to do that, I would be admitting defeat and laying down. If you are standing, you always have a way back if you work hard enough. They are corrupt, but they are not gods. Focus on self-improvement. You are only ever truly defeated if you think you are. If you think institutional power is the only thing that can make you as an individual powerful, you do not believe in yourself in the first place. That's not a man.
