China approves 'president for life' change

China's Xi Jinping could stay in power indefinitely after parliament backs constitutional changes.

Before #InGodWeTrust, for most of #America's history the bills instead said:

"SILVER CERTIFICATE: x Dollar(s) In #Silver Payable to the Bearer on Demand"
or
"GOLD CERTIFICATE: x Dollar(s) in #Gold Coin Payable to the Bearer on Demand"

That all changed with the invention of the Federal Reserve System up-ending the US Treasury. Within 60 years they achieved one of their main goals.

The first $1000 CAD note released in 1935, would be like issuing a $20,000 CAD note in today's value after CPI inflation. It follows that the $100 note that year would be worth $2000 In today's value. Yet the government wants to take the remaining $1000 notes out of legal tender status
#Inflation caused by central banks has ensured that the recurring battle to restore minimum #wage to it's actual fair value will continue indefinitely

HALP! @[email protected], a collation of #internet & #media companies, is trying to end #NetNeutrality in #Canada with a #SOPA like proposal.

They are using dirty methods to flood the #CRTC (Canada's #FCC equivalent) with comments supporting #censorship.
