Not to mention money that decides you have purchased too many big macs and pizzas and can only buy fruits and veggies.

Some people don’t have self control, so they must be controlled. Whine about freedom all you want, but the reality is that we are all connected and responsible to each other to live in a way that doesn’t burden others.

That's a broooooaaaaad and bold statement. Sure, someone with no self control wants to do some heinous shit like kill someone or diddle kids...okay understandable. Control them
But uh...Ill legally spend my own money on as many cheeseburgers as I want and there is not a godamn thing you or anyone but my doctor can do about it, and even then it's a suggestion I can choose to ignore.

Until we’ve arrived at a point in the climate crisis where beef is no longer allowed. These choices aren’t limited to just doing harm to yourself, and that’s why what you’ve said is selfishly ignorant.

Then they need to limit business ability to sell it. Not my ability to consume it. You're looking at it from the wrong scope in my opinion. I'm not going to let my own money that I earned decide how I should spend it.
thehourglasses@reddit
Either way works and achieves the same goal, though I tend to agree that implementing these kinds of controls upstream is an overall better approach.

Thank you for the level headed conversation haha I'm sorry if I came off a bit hostile. I'm not used to civilized discussion on the platform!

Bitcoin fixes this.
The_Monsta_Wansta@reddit
Who currently owns the most active Bitcoin? Oh the same corporations and institutions that own the rest of the world already? Cool. same shit different toilet. At least this toilet is a public ledger I guess.
Ricky_Ventura@reddit
Bitcoin at best bandaids this. The proposal is crypto, just with digital controls. As it stands, AUD is the fix to this and already implimented obv.
Ricky_Ventura@reddit
No, it doesn't. AUD does though.

I couldn't make it to the end of the article, it reads like it was written by ChatGPT. As far as I can tell, it's all speculation - there's zero evidence in there about what the author is referring to.

If they make money you can't use freely, people will pay their taxes with it, covert it to and use another freely exchangeable currency for everything else (crypto, gold, etc)

What could possibly go wrong?
