This sort of thing would make crypto like Monero become a necessity. I think the way things are going, especially in the US, we will see crypto become a semi-legitimate currency, simply because governments can’t be trusted to let the poors handle their business in a way that makes sense.

For example, MasterVisa barring transactions involving adult materials, LGBTQ+, and so forth. No choice but to use fiscal instruments that aren’t controlled by the powers above.

I think the United States as we knew it is dying. I feel no kinship with the MAGA nor the Epstein Class, my desire to be kind and fair towards that lot has long since evaporated. Odds are, many folks in Tennessee and Minneapolis feel the same.

I think that the Trump Regime has inadvertently created the communities that will resist them in the future: former military staff of good character and skill have been exiled, as have many government workers. These people will form the backbone of future governments.

The Trump Regime has self-selected for corruption, cowardice, and servility, while creating foes that very much lack such qualities.

A total conversion for the FreeSpace Open engine. Freespace is an excellent series of flight games for PC, similar to TIE Fighter - but the source code has been released to the public, resulting in many massive overhauls. Someone decided to make a Starfox game in it, and apparently it is shaping up nicely. You can use the Knossos mod manager to download the mod, and buy FreeSpace 2 from Steam or GOG.
