They're already doing it to trans people. If they succeed there, they'll just widen the criteria until anyone that is unlikely to vote for them is going to be ineligible.
Yeah, I was afraid that this time Trump would've hired people that knew what they were doing, but luckily he didn't. They're still dangerous ideologies and the roadmap they have in project 2025 is still scary as fuck tho.
Definitely showing her whole anti war schtick was always bullshit. JD Vance was the only one pushing back in that thread, and not for the right reasons.
That's been how ICE had been doing things for decades. Only they're now doing it to white people too, and they always take it a bit further during Republican administrations.
They're also compatible with Matter or Bluetooth, so you can use them without the hub if you want to (although I assume you'll always need the app if you want to do stuff like managing the map for your robot vacuum).
They probably think that tracing it will be easier than cash, but obviously there's a few issues with that:
we don't use stablecoins in our day to day lives in western cities with ubiquitous internet and reliable power, it's probably easier to work it out here first before exporting it to areas that don't have those things
a big part of USAID's raison d'être actually is corruption. It supports opposition news outlets in adversary countries, and projects like free trade/enterprise zones in poorer countries. The actual 'good' aid it provides is more of a cover for those projects. If you make all transactions traceable on a blockchain, those countries will know exactly what's being funded and they'll have an easy time shutting it down, or have a harder time staying in power if people knew what concessions they're trading their aid for. I still don't really know if Trump/Musk just don't know this and think USAID is doing what it does purely out of altruism, or if they just don't believe in the concept of soft power.
Yeah, of course. The number was basically static for months after all hospitals were rendered inoperable, as that's where the counting was done. Probably part of the reason they were targeted.
