House passes bill allowing vendors to elect electronic gold or silver payments The House passed first substitute HB 195 to let state vendors choose electronic payment in gold or silver (or remain in dollars); an amendment made vendors responsible for transaction costs on physical metal payments. Supporters said the bill preserves purchasing power; opponents did not speak on record during floor debate.

Utah's House just passed a groundbreaking bill allowing vendors to choose payments in gold or silver—could this redefine what money means?

It’s not going well. Purchasing power is melting away, the standard of living is falling, and doctors are less and less available, drugs less and less reimbursed, and so on.

Pouvoir d’achat : ce que disent les chiffres… et ce qu’ils ne disent pas – Radio France: https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/la-bulle-economique/pouvoir-d-achat-ce-que-disent-les-chiffres-et-ce-qu-ils-ne-disent-pas-7969607


There is clearly competition for resources. If grain runs out, prices will go up. There could be power cuts. Families are fighting over water, which farmers want to use in mega-basins. There are too many workers for the job market. There are too many sick people for the healthcare system. The state coffers are empty. Tension is created by the fact that there are too many of us on a small slice of the cake. Lack doesn’t make you good, it only makes you more selfish. It’s me first! Everyone defends their own little piece of the cake. For example, there are often deaths during food distributions.

Over the past fifty years, we’ve become accustomed to a neoliberal narrative that has hardened since the 2000s: those with the most right to the cake are the early risers, the front runners. The far right, on the other hand, asserts that those most deserving of a slice of the cake are the racially pure. They promise the forgotten of the Republic that they will come first. They’re the only ones who speak to those who can’t survive in today’s world: rural dwellers who can’t face up to unfair competition from imports or illegal immigran…

Taylor County board hears pitch to join statewide educator health trust; presenter cites possible long-term savings At its Dec. 9 meeting the Taylor County School Board heard a presentation from the Florida Educator Health Trust (Fleet) on a superintendent-run insurance trust that its presenter said could deliver long-term savings and greater purchasing power, especially for pharmaceuticals. The board requested district-specific comparisons and follow-up technical briefings.

A new initiative by the Florida Educator Health Trust could revolutionize insurance for school districts, promising potential savings of up to 13% on benefits costs!

Terrorism is the use of terror for ideological, political or religious ends. The word “terrorisme” was first used in November 1794, when it was used to describe the “doctrine of the partisans of the Terror”, those who, some time earlier, had exercised power by waging an intense and violent struggle against the counter-revolutionaries. It was a way of exercising power, not a means of acting against it. The word evolved during the 19th century to mean action against the state rather than action by it

Terrorism – Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism


Terrorism therefore stems from action by the State against its own people. Eco-terrorists are defined as “threats, intimidation and acts of violence against property or persons (civilians, police or military) committed in the name of ecologism”.

Eco-terrorism – Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eco-terrorism


But doesn’t terrorism come from those in power who use the police and the army against the people who follow the advice of scientists to avoid the deaths and migrations linked to global warming? This is illegitimate violence. Instead of sending the police and army against people who take action to promote ecology, it would be better to suggest a referendum so that the people can make their voices heard.


These people in power could have acted in the 1990s to prevent the current disasters and can still act to prevent them in the future. This inaction in the face of global warming and despite the warnings of the scientific community is a form of terrorism that is amplified when these people use the police and the army against desperate environmental activists to make their voices heard. In effect, the people are allowed to elect but not to decide. Instead, our leaders encourage pollution. The Légion d’honneur for Total’s boss, the difficulty for farmers and fishermen to convert to organic farming in the face of a system that only allows them to survive by polluting, and so on.
