Central Bank Digital Currency: bad idea


At Big League Politics (Oct 26), Jose Nino reported:

During an interview on CoinDesk TV, Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes said that the United States government should create a central bank digital currency (CBDC). He believes the US must do so in order to not be “left behind.” 

Countries such as Australia, China, Japan, and Russia have rolled out pilot projects to test run CBDCs.

Himes stated that the US should get the ball rolling on developing a CBDC so that “we’ve got the option to move forward” when it comes to competing wit’s other great powers using similar currencies.

. . . [BUT, as Mr Nino comments]

CBDCs are just another way globalists want to take control of people’s economic livelihood. While technology can enhance people’s lives, it can also be used as a way to exert control over them.

. . .

Instead there should be the promotion of a separation of central banking and state through legislation that allows for competing currencies to operate freely in the marketplace. 

The solution to these economic issues ultimately lies with mechanisms that promote more economic freedom as opposed to economic control. 

Read the full report here. Another wrecking ball if this plan succeeds.

Super Bowl, competition, and politics




Ira Stoll's "Patriots Ignite Political Debate On Success" at The NY Sun on the Super Bowl:

American politics at the moment can pretty much be explained by what you make of the record sixth Super Bowl victory by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, coach Bill Belichick, and owner Robert Kraft.

One view of it is to marvel at, and celebrate, the hard work, risk-taking, and skill that produced the achievement. That’s the more conservative view of it.

Another is to complain about it and wish the winning were more evenly distributed. That’s the more left-leaning view of it. . . .

There is more with which to agree and disagree here.
