Re: The Call for Debate Thread
Unfortunately some people quickly seek others to dominate them and power once again centralizes.Whereas, under freedom, everyone is their own sovereign ruler. They cannot seek domination over others.

Re: Responding to potential Societal Collapse
According to the Federal Reserve Board website , U.S. non-borrowed bank reserves have gone from $37B to $199M (nope, that's not a typo) in the last month.
