#1 The dollar conversion will be painful at first, that is if you have any remaining dollars to convert. It really is for the greater global good. In this particular case, a more equitable solution really does justify the means. You'll see.

#2 They have lot's of brilliant plans, mostly centered on taking everything you have. Don't worry if you are a billionaire though. None of these plans apply to their donors. Bernie is a liar if he says the uniparty will attack their donors.

#3 And let’s put in safe guards like having the encryption keys and passwords stored in Humper Biden’s laptop, put the congressional Pakistani Brothers in charge of cyber security and whomever is the world leader in charge of the central digital currency let us ensure they are selected based on Race, Sexuality, and ideology.

#4 Or, exactly how you will own nothing because in DC speak if it's all electric, it's all theirs.

Once digital, then DC can turn ON or OFF a person's wealth/income... based on whatever issues they decide or deem.

Some have asked ...What if we went back to a Gold Standard backed dollar, plus other such rare metals?

At the last audit, the US Treasury claimed 261,498,926.241 Troy OZ of Gold in its vaults.
Gold, which was selling for about $1,928.00 per troy oz at COB yesterday.

If the USA went back to a Gold Standard?
The US dollar would be backed by only about $504.1 +/- Billion in Gold Reserves.

Notes:
DC has a purposed Federal budget of about 10 times that for 2023.
DC has run up a national debt of about 60 times our Gold worth and 5 times the annual collected tax revenues.

#7 The Godverment in charge of your assets and you say what can go wrong? OK, my sister's gay friend (who has a black partner) owns several VRBOs as his livelihood. The max occupancy on the posting is 4 people. VRBO rents it and 10 people check in which the owner sees this on the outside video and calls the renter, who lies about it. He tells them to leave. They eventually do, but immediately complain to VRBO that they were told to leave because they are black. VRBO shuts down all of his account pending an investigation. How does one prove they are not racist. It took weeks to resolve. Thousands of dollars lost.
Do you really believe this can't happen with the leftists in Washington if they had the keys to your assets? Look what the little tyrant in Canada did to protesters.

#8 Do you really want the likes of Elizabeth Warren, Adam "the liar" Schiff, Mitch, Pelosi, and the others controlling *all* of your financing. It's bad enough they can freeze your bank accounts and leave you to starve on a whim as they did on Canada.
"Oh your retirement's too big so we'll going to take 80% of what you worked your ass off for and sacrificed for and give it to some poor slobs who wasted their lives on hookers and booze".

#9 The globalists have a lot of great ideas for everyone but themselves (sarc). You don't want to give up dollar dominance. It will not make for a better country or world. Warning! Morons, crazy people and crooks at the helm.

#12 Would this be in the Trudeau model, or the Cohaagen?

#13 Not sure how all this would work but I'm wondering how will her cartel buddies launder their ill gotten gains?

#15 I prefer to store my wealth as ammunition. It's always needed, it can get you what you need and best of all, you can recycle it and make NEW ammo from the cases.

Ammo, what can't it do?:p
