Unlimited money in politics is frying the planet, ending democracies, causing financial crashes, and immiserating the electorate.
The 1929 and 2008 financial crises were caused by greedy self-interest too.

in reply to Molly White • • •The Supreme Court ruled that:
1. Money is speech, so refusing Justin Sun the ability to pay Trump $100 mill would violate his civil rights; and
2. It is not a bribe if it is a "tip" being given to the public official for having done something you like previously. For example (their example) my students could treat me to a $150 steak dinner after the semester is over out of gratitude for giving them good grades.
I'm with you. The Supreme Court is sick.

in reply to Molly White • • •Reay
in reply to Molly White • • •Sincere question: Given that the only value in any cryptocurrency is what buyers and sellers agree it’s worth, and that this particular “coin” doesn’t even pretend to be that, people who buy it will only ever lose money, correct? It’s exclusively a pump and dump scheme.
Even when it occurred to me that buyers fully understand that and buy it anyway, let’s say it’s entirely just to schmooze with Trump at the referenced dinner, then what’s ANY benefit in continuing to buy it?
Just another way to continue to fund Trump purely as a runaround of the regulations of monetary donations directly to politicians?
Molly White
in reply to Reay • • •Kevin Neely
in reply to Molly White • • •@reay taking aside the influence aspect, which is kind of unique to this particular coin, the people that make money are the first and early movers. Those that buy in early and then sell to those that follow, profiting off their FOMO. Just like in any Ponzi or MLM scheme.
