I'm all about small government. Small organizations in general, really. Lots of them - all decentralized and symbiotic if possible. Why wouldn't the citizens just take this issue to the supreme court and end the false taxation then? Other countries, though... no such option?
Time to do some stuff outside. I will have to pick this thread up a little later. Thoroughly enjoyed the discussion @ChiliMac
I'm sure all the 👀 out there did, too! To be continued soon (I hope)!
Replying to @ChiliMac (0x90cfd4934278cfc9205e5893b089074acd8eb351)
exactly the point, govt was smaller then and should have STAYED that way. then the scam was installed and people went to sleep and govt grew to the point of enslavement. time to change it back. btw, fed does NOT have jurisdiction to tax anyone's non-fed privilege earnings.

links to vids depicting testimonies of REAL life experiences, which ALL of us can learn and benefit from is a dump?! REALLY!?! I'm talking putting YOUR money back in your pocket and that is a dump and a pain in the ass . . . sheesh, talk about mind numbing indoctrination
Bad choice of words. Not quality - quantity. Like, you backed up the dump truck! I actually appreciate your perspective. Your knowledge is valuable. More-so when it's coming from you directly though, rather than so many links (my personal opinion).
Apologies for word choice.

Wow. Almost ready how to explain in a document how Peepeth works. It's, but for a grandma, you have to tell more steps we wish.
Thanks for doing that @Goosie
Very cool.

Andy Singer is awesome!! https://www.andysinger.com/
I like the spirit of the cartoon - completely setting aside the specific politics. In fact, generally speaking, many "leaders" are out of touch with the reality of those whom they "govern".

I don’t normally watch horror as a rule.
Me neither.
Replying to @ChiliMac (0x90cfd4934278cfc9205e5893b089074acd8eb351)
name one country people aren't allowed to leave. govt payed the bills via tarriffs, and taxing those with dividends and rental "income" and fed privilege successfully prior to 1947 just fine.
Wasn't government much smaller then? So the bills were much less?
Lots of countries require exit visas or "permission" to leave...
Saudi Arabia for sure. Philippines has some kind of exit tax....
Just off the top of my head...
And being stateless is a terrible existence, sadly.

sorry, but laws don't change rapidly, we have same immigration laws long time now, only EOs alter enforcement, un-constitutionally imo. btw, an illegal pays a coyote $Ks, can't afford a passport?! don't wash with reality. Diplomacy w/other countries, and PROTECT OUR CIVIL RIGHTS
@ChiliMac is clearly passionate about the US constitution. If we can just get past the Peep linking dumps - he can probably teach us a thing or two!
Enjoying the conversation, actually.

I can completely understand that. Know a lot of people that feel very similarly. I'm not talking about people coming in, though, I was talking about trying to get out of some countries!
If there were much fewer taxes, how would the borders be secured anyway? Inflation?
Replying to @ChiliMac (0x90cfd4934278cfc9205e5893b089074acd8eb351)
cheers, but people move about freely, so long as they obey the laws of the country they move through. protecting the sovereign borders and people of the USA is 1 of 3 constitutionally required duties of the fed govt. do u know the other 2?
They only move freely if they can afford passports and can stay in sync with ever-changing partisan legislation.
I do not trust the current people in charge to hold their end of the bargains up. Too much of a disconnect from the "regular people".
Go on, tell us the other two...
Replying to @ChiliMac (0x90cfd4934278cfc9205e5893b089074acd8eb351)
was prior to knowing the truth about a whole lot of historical facts re deep state, globalist criminals, illuminati psychopaths, etc, however, a sheep dog is a sheep dog, and we love our sheep(le), country constitution and rule of law, no matter what. entiendes?
I'm not a passionate fan of borders, to put it mildly. I would like the idea more if people could freely move around rather than being set inside political boundaries at birth.
That said, I appreciate service men/women immensely for defending what they believe is right. Respect.
Replying to @ChiliMac (0x90cfd4934278cfc9205e5893b089074acd8eb351)
no issues with that, but would rather discuss the truth about the tax laws. tax season is quickly approaching and crypto currencies and keeping as much personal wealth as possible is what is important to me, not what I did in service. btw, mil pay is taxable--federal privilege;)
This might be a completely wrong road to go down, but... generally curious... how is it willing to risk your entire life for a government that would, in your view, actually mislead its entire citizen base re: taxes?
The two things seem kind of opposed (I get the federal priv.)

I haven't muted anyone in weeks, and now I can't find how to mute someone. ...help... ...please?
It's hidden really, to discourage use. You can click the "..." under their post and you'll see the option there.
Replying to @ChiliMac (0x90cfd4934278cfc9205e5893b089074acd8eb351)
Hmmmm, I will take it under consideration, but since I post when I can while earning my living, and I pay for each post, well, I will do what I do and you do what you do. How's that?
It's absolutely your call, but it's just hard to digest information with such rapidity. When people get overwhelmed, they tend to tune things out rather than consider them carefully.
I liked some of the stuff you posted and didn't want to mute!
I'm sure there are others like me
Replying to @stuart (0x5e586ff725a997c6fd35a9c90c1fc3aef19f4208)
can you please not post this so rapidly it's clogging up the feed
I second this. I had to hit mute, not because I'm closed minded or deeply anti-this-message. It was just overtaking everything else.
Replying to @shadhammer (0xda81ed86d0d92312de9653412a8428dedc680ba2)
I was being ironic. In my opinion, implanting chips in people is awful. The final step towards the elite's so-called New World Order. No thanks.
In my view, these people are freely running towards technologies that we, as a global society, have not properly built safeguards around yet. Their enthusiasm is blinding them from all the ways the tech may be abused before the world catches up with the full potential.
Slowly.

Hola peeps. Just joined the network. This is a neat idea, I think I'll stick around.
Welcome!
Peepeth is a positive community of vastly diverse and (mostly) interesting people. We are conscientious of all our differences, respectful of each other's ideas - and, above all, determined to make a positive difference in the world through dialogue.
Glad to have you.
Replying to @sevvie (0xb9a7922eec475605498ba3c1f7f0aca98585f30a)
I'm not defending the action; if anything, I regret responding in the first place. My choice to mute @voyager was out of a desire to avoid argument; his insulting manner caught me offguard in comparison to the kindness and thoughtfulness I've otherwise seen here.
Sometimes, when we're trying to understand something deeply - it takes time to process and unpack what we thought we knew and compare it to what we've just seen.
Just a suggestion, and none of my business, but maybe pause a day before muting. Give people a chance to steep a bit?

En, why not shoot some tip. :)
Some Peeple don't tip much... because they need their Ether for dApps @zhous98 ;-)
Pluma is too busy working behind the scenes to go about tipping all the good content on Peepeth! You tip for her until she is less busy, ok?

Approx 379,000 note= 2,500 per month? - 950 x 20 nights(conservative) = 19,000 - 2500 = 16,500 month..there are some rental management fees as well ...... up front amount depends on your banking arrangements...looking at lot for myself to build one. food for thought..
Seems pretty promising! What are property taxes like in the area?
Keep us updated as you continue to explore your own investment there, please. Interesting (- and the picture is beautiful, too)!
Replying to @Brando (0xa3e5615035ad34cdc2348d5a44ecb22fba18109e)
Mario, brother...these forums became public when the reports showed their ability to influence American voters to the tune of millions of votes. Recently, the courts stated that TRUMP could not block people on his Twitter because it’s public. And then there’s Alex Jones.... 🙄
I know you two might feel a little tensions in this conversation, but reading it is really educational. Reading people having a civil conversation capable of bridging different world-views is what public forums are about.
Thanks you both for being courteous and passionate Peeple

Ideologically, I am 100% in the camp that when an organization gets so big that it can affect entire economies and steer elections - it needs to be treated as something more public. That said, @abcoathup was saying: with Peepeth - you truly have the tools to build your own [1/2]
...and it would still exchange information with the common back end the blockchain infrastructure allows.
Before, you honestly couldn't compete with the monopolies and their entrenched user bases - blockchain can change the rules.
For a better world.

Andrew- so if AT&T were to start dictating who I could/couldn’t call..should I just erect my own cell towers? The whole point of anti-trust is when there IS no competition. If you’re FB, Twitter etc is censored...there’s no equal competitior to go to. This isn’t a cake shop.. 🙏❤

Indeed, you seem to be, @Bluedog
Welcome to Peepeth.
PSA
Regardless of if there is more than a single version of the truth...
... there is always more than a single way to impart information.
One of those ways is with positivity, patience, and empathy.
The other ways... don't jive with Peepeth's openly stated goals.

I miss those days too, but do we miss them for ourselves, or wish someone else would dedicate themselves to agriculture and we can keep our urban lifestyle and just buy from small farmer? On the other side, urban gardens should be a thing for everyone with a balcony.
Well, without giving too much away - the urban lifestyle isn't for me.
I just wish people that wanted to live the "farm" life could do so more easily. I know most people wouldn't want to. Same as I wish people could be bakers or butchers or seamstresses in small towns...

Want an investment with an outstanding return? Build a premium rental cabin in Gatlinburg area or some other popular resort area. This is the latest model I drafted for an investor... now renting.. already booked out 9 months or so. sleeps 25. rents for 950 per night.
Upfront cost? Can't calculate anything without that!
Lovely work, by the way.

Missing the days of decentralized farming. Not to say it would result in fewer greenhouse gases... but animals were treated better. Contamination problems were more isolated. People had that additional economically viable life choice...
Rambling, apologies.

Ether "crashing" today LOL
This whole phenomena - these wild swings - are due almost entirely to liquidity, imho. (Uncertainty doesn't help, of course.) The number of people in the world involved and betting/funding/investing in crypto is still so tiny.
Stability is valuable. We'll get there, I think.

I've notice a great rebound in crypto, people are realizing the fiat illuminati bucks are trashy debt, time for a new future of economics!
Trying to put a more positive spin on the same narrative: people are digging ownership of their digital identities and the value they create. They're slowly starting to understand that forms of interplanetary money could redistribute power to the people...
For a better world.

I mean it might be better if every card itself could tell the players some stories. Let's say a card once was on a comtest and it killed 3.
I'm not a gamer, but I think I get what you are saying. The winning tournament cards could have more value. The unique histories can provably travel with the digital assets. Pretty cool.

Yes, perhaps I am too old to understand a platform that purports to promote open dialogue & discourse while providing a parachute in the form of the "mute" function so as to allow people to avoid comments they find to be uncomfortable...
I think of it as going to a public forum in real life. Where all reasonable people can take the stage. Even if people disagree with the speaker's dialogue, they shouldn't just boot them off the stage... the best they can do it walk out of the forum. Walking out, that's the mute.

It was entirely by chance, actually; I was skimming tweets and I saw @Fulcrum had replied to someone suggesting it. I did a little searching to figure out what it was about and was impressed with the contract/IPFS setup, so I borrowed 0.01 ETH from a friend and signed up!
Well, glad you made it!

PureOS looks promising, but is in desperate need of UX designers and full PWA support. I wish Firefox OS hadn't gone the way of the dodo. B2G is still being developed in the open-source community but lacks the support it needs to contend with AOSP.
So, how'd you find out about Peepeth?
You're so full of useful knowledge! Glad to have you as part of the Peepeth community.

With decentralization distributing power, information, and resources in a more egalitarian manner... "we the people" may have more time on our side than was previously imagined.

Also it's a hook to help crypto to go mainstream. Win win.
To be sure. The entire ecosystem is designed to be interconnected and symbiotic.
If Ethereum / decentralized smart contract platforms broadly are successful, then there will be a lot more win, win...
...rather than 1% winning and the rest... hoping to win later
