Given the upper level Harris/Biden Admin remarks calling for or hinting about the need for greater Federal Monitoring and involvement in the Internet and Possible Federal Oversight (initial step for Nationalization) of the Oil/Gas Industry.

Something about this whole incident to me reeks of Socialist-Democrat involvement.

BTW: Here in Middle Eastern GA./SC. border we hit $3.25+ for 87 octane in some places a little more last night. The price prior to the induced PANIC was $2.43 to $2.49

#10 So their moral conscience was merely a cover for the payoff, and their concern about the social damage was theater, how very Russian. Cryptocurrency has the advantage of none of that pesky tracking and culpability issues!
You always get more of what worked in the past. bigger and harder...

#12 Bidencare - Government ~~control and censorship~~ monitoring of the Internet.

"If you like your social media site - you can keep your social media site!"

China level internet censorship - in America!

#15 Considering the huge lever of power, that is a very small amount to be bought out for.

I'll go with Congress.
