Is it true that if people understood our banking and monetary system, there would be a revolution?
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning - henry ford.
I do understand fractional reserve banking (banks lending out way more money than they have) and monetary easing (printing money) by the federal reserve. For all the problems that it has, I don't see how a revolution could get us to a better, more equitable system.
Not sure abut a revolution but maybe.
i figured most people know we have no gold to back up our notes!
Yes, they take advantage in every way. First principle is, as long as people have food in their stomachs and somewhere to lay their head down they tend not to riot. As long as people have a job and can take care of their family they tend not to rebel. Revolutions and Civil Wars start from government actions and then are affected by the people of the country. I think there's a cultural war but no chance of civil or revolutionary war. The best thing an individual can do is try to eliminate all debt. Try to live debt free because then no bank has any control over you. It's hard because we need to buy houses and such but if you go to school, consider a state school because at the end of the day owing 100k puts you into indentured servitude. Try to pay off your house, little or no credit card debt. Live simply, be spiritual, spend quality time doing simple things.
There's no more gold in them thar hills bro.
Doubtful. Most adults are pretty pragmatic about money and banking… They know they're a bit dodgy about paying on time and in full and they expect to pay for their occasional lateness
NO I do not think that people are totally ignorant of the system.
Few people understand the banking system, and people with limited understanding may be angry with the way things get done, but it would be stupid to cause a revolution. A revolution would not fix anything. It would only make matters much worse.
Possibly not
- Why so many people believe Christine Ford's story when nobody she named knows what she is talking about and there are? So many details missing AND the timing is very suspicious? Is it that people "believe" her mostly because they WANT to believe her as a way to get back at Trump and stop his agenda?
- 99 Ford Taurus: ok guys and ladies, let's wreck our brains on this? I went to store one day bought a soda, got back in my car turned the key: NOTHING. I POPPED hood no sign of anything I'd obviously suspect. Battery charged fuses good, but only half my dash indicator lights come on. Doors lock, Windows work, but get this, the running lights stay on! No key no switch just stay on. OBD Il port won't respond to diagnostic tool. Before you say PCM, think about my symptoms. I'm here waiting… Ford tech reach out and help me!
- Isn't it hard to force the EU to buy our cars? Ford announced they'll stop making regular cars, and they don't want our gas guzzling SUVs? Or huge trucks. That's what part of this trade war is about fyi, our products that they don't even want. Interesting, but 10% vs 2.5% isn't exactly earth shattering on cars. Plus that article's talking about OBAMA'S proposed free trade not Trumps.
- Is it true women like Artemisia would willingly sleep with Mr Kavanaugh? When women like Artemisia would drop her panties in a second for a man like Kavanaugh, how can anybody believe Christine Ford? Kavanaugh can have any woman he wants.
