This been posted, yet? USA getting ready to "reset" the dollar and at the same time introduce a monetary system where who you buy and sell or donate to can be easily controlled centrally?

Yes. They plan to introduce a CBDC and cashless monetary system as an "alternative" to cash, and then slowly phase out cash until cashless is all that exists. The cashless system would be linked to an implanted biometric ID. No more cards. Instead, you have one digital identity that covers all of your accounts. This means no socking physical cash anywhere, and no yard sales without using cashless systems like Stripe and waving your hand over someone's phone to do NFC with it.
They're experimenting with the notion of making people's unused savings "expire" to encourage consumption. Whenever a debt bubble pops (because the disgusting looters on Wall Street just can't help but spend a whole decade looting people), people tend to save more and spend less. You know, for a rainy day. That actually
accelerates the recession. Why do you think they gave everyone stimulus checks in 2020? For their health? No. It's to encourage people to spend. The other way they could do that is by making your savings literally go poof if you don't use them, incentivizing spending, taking cash out of savings accounts and pushing it back into the economy.
“Aside from broad interest rates, CBDC would give policy-makers more options to combat undesirably high savings rates, possibly through individual allowance limits (comparable to the existing ECB tiering system for banks’ excess liquidity). Money in the form of CBDC could also have a designated shelf-life, making real the idea of “depreciative money”, first articulated by Silvio Gesell (1862–1930, a German economist) more than 100 years ago. Negative interest rates directly imposed on CBDC would have a similar effect as they reduce the value of money over time”
See, with cash and precious metals, you can always just keep stuff under the mattress and avoid that. They don't want people to be able to avoid their manipulations. They want to impose them on everyone. That's why they'll phase out cash and ban gold and silver ownership.
Also, they plan on using a CBDC to ration goods and services, by assigning a "carbon value" to them. Different goods will have different quotas, and when you pass a certain threshold, your ability to purchase that good will be disabled. The charge literally won't go through. If you buy one steak too many, the purchase will be denied at the bank level.
It also means that they can turn off your accounts whenever they like and you will have no money. None. Zero.
Are you a "terrorist" posting "hate speech" online? Did you say the nigger word one too many times on Kiwi Farms? Whoops. Now you can't buy anything at all.
The "Elites" only care about one thing. Liquidity. Nothing else matters to them. If people aren't buying things, then they aren't using credit. If they aren't using credit, then Wall Street doesn't get their cut.
The velocity of money is the rate at which people spend cash. Think of it as how hard each dollar works to increase economic output. When the velocity of money is high, it means each dollar is moving fast to purchase goods and services. It reflects high demand, which generates more production.
When the velocity is low, each dollar is not being used very often to buy things. Instead, it's used for investments and savings. This low demand doesn't generate as much production.
What
is someone who already has everything they need? The guy with the house, the truck, the boat, the safe full of guns, the grand piano in the living room, the nice ATV. They have no debt. They don't need to buy very much aside from the necessities. What are they, from Wall Street's perspective? Financially "dead", that's what. Any time there is too much settled property, the parasites don't get their money.
The elimination of private property and its replacement with servitization makes perfect sense from the perspective of the Overclass. Now, they are assured a constant revenue stream, and they can make people rent the communal pod hotel, the communal driverless robo-car, the communal bicycle, the communal vacuum cleaner. It's like taking one unit of production and selling it to hundreds of people.
Basically, technocracy as implemented by the Overclass is one giant rent-seeking exercise.
After they spent decades getting people addicted to shiny electronic baubles from China and encouraging planned obsolescence, they've finally realized that they can't keep extracting so much from the planet without bringing us to the edge of resource depletion and environmental collapse. Instead, they want us all to pay to rent and fondle
their baubles, which we can never own.
We live in a system in which it is impossible for everyone to be wealthy. If everyone was wealthy, if everyone had everything they needed, then the Overclass would simply destroy everyone's wealth to "save the economy" and get people back to the business of creating more wealth to replace what was destroyed (and give the finance capitalists their cut in the process). Why else do you think Wall Street funds communist revolutions? It's because they know it will destroy settled assets, necessitating their replacement, which means more loans in the future.
The Overclass have actually been using this same tactic over and over, throughout history. First, plant the seed of mercantilism and industry. Then, collect your cut, demolish the settled assets through warfare and societal collapse, and have poor serfs replace what was destroyed so you can get your cut some more.
Every empire that has ever collapsed, throughout history, did not collapse on their own accord. They were fucking
harvested.
Yeah
@Drain Todger was a social butterfly before Covid and went out every day with his many friends and girlfriends.
But then the fucking elites ruined his life, forced him indoors, and gave him terminal autism through mandatory vaccination.
This goes way, way beyond me and my personal habits. This is everywhere. It affects everyone.
If we don't tackle the problem right now, then where the hell will we be fifty years from now?
Hey if they actually invent Full Dive VR and that entails being able to live in the good times forever I'll take it.
Realistically, that wouldn't be done with a headset, but an implant. Any implanted brain-computer interface capable of Full Dive-level sensory hijacking is also capable of
swapping out one's whole-ass reality.
