“OFAC’s authority to blacklist individuals and companies from the U.S. financial system originates from a World War I–era law giving the president extraordinary powers over the economy in times of crisis. Known today as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA,
Of all of the people living on Earth, only 4% are US citizens.
Less than 3% of the world's population are white US citizens.
Less than 1.8% of the world's people are white US citizens that support fascist, racist, policies.
The point: A very small number of people can make life awful for everyone.
The problem isn't "white people." Most white people on Earth don't choose this.
The problem isn't "Americans." Most Americans don't choose this either.
The problem isn't even "racist nazis." Most countries on Earth aren't silly enough to let the racist nazis be in charge, and aren't this strong.
Chronologically, we are closer to 2060 than to 1960. But ideologically, racist Americans would rather bring 1960 back, than progress to 2060.🤦🏿♂️
This is embarrassing.
The other 98.2% of the people on Earth reject this vision like a cat throwing up a hairball: vigorously, with much noise and retching.
Racism was a useful tool for adding to a nation's wealth in the 1800s and prior.
In the 1900s it was net neutral.
From this point on and into the future, racism is a negative that leads to a nation's downfall and decline. Some of you want to argue with me about this even as the US economy spirals.
The US is barely holding on after 100 days of our re-invigorated racism. Picture where we would be after 100 years of this mess.
We have exactly two choices:
1) Grow up. Get our racism under control.
2) Hang on to our precious racism, and go down with the ship as the world leaves us behind.
If you're thinking "How dare you call racism a useful tool!" or "We should end racism because it's the right thing to do, not to stop national decline!"
1st, unclutch your pearls, then unclench your cheeks.
2nd, I don't know if you've been paying attention, but US folk don't just do the right thing.
The CFPB is considering treating virtual currencies like Roblox’s Robux similar to real money in a bank when it comes to consumer rights.
Specifically if your account gets hacked and your Robux is spent, Roblox users have less recourse than if it happened to their bank account or credit card.
This is likely another place where the tech industry will ask the Trump administration to weigh in to curb regulations.
