you can't do anything.

current governments in big/not-failed countries are way too powerful, so any idea that "people decide" is from an old age.

they just want you to continue to believe this, so they keep the sheep and you think you live in a good ole western democracy, while you're not

Trees don't grow to the sky

and there's no perpetuum mobile either

sampa··on Fed Says Inflation Progress Has Stalled, Extends Wait-and-See Stance

PS just like they missed the window for hikes, now they miss the window for cuts, again

sampa··on A Strong U.S. Dollar Weighs on the World
if only printing money could solve all problems

alas, but people don't like inflation

sampa··on A Strong U.S. Dollar Weighs on the World
their debt is 230% of GDP

when global crisis hits again (pretty soon, I'd say), they will have major problems

sampa··on A Strong U.S. Dollar Weighs on the World
Japan monetary policy is a ponzi scheme waiting to crash

been that way for decades

sampa··on Flowers for Algernon (1965) [pdf]
tear-squeezing teen novel

sampa··on Alexei Navalny has died
well, that's a lesson for every western-backed opposition wannabe: don't trust your German handlers (probably told him, they will support him like a murderer Khodorkovsky, and get him out later)

prisons are bad for your health

sampa··on Someone bought 26.9 BTC on Binance and sent it to Satoshi's dead wallet
somebody has shorted btc and sent this transaction hoping the crowd goes crazy 'satoshi is back, now he'll dump all his bitcoins, SELL!!1!'

didn't work.

because anybody can send money to any address, doesn't prove a thing

sampa··on Operation Triangulation: What you get when attack iPhones of researchers
well of course nobody would have NSA_friendly_override() in the source

plausible deniability is essential in such cases, hence the term bugdoor

sampa··on Operation Triangulation: What you get when attack iPhones of researchers
or Apple just implemented this "API" for them, because they've asked nicely
sampa··on Turkish central bank raises interest rate to 42.5% to combat high inflation
