All these departments are for show.
They’re designed to spend as much of your tax money as possible, as quickly possible.
The employees don’t ask any questions because the deal is, they get an easy life and a nice pension.
All MP’s and their rich friends own huge amounts of shares in all the companies where the money is going.
They all know where the money is going in advance.
Cash is distributed and anonymous.
Digital government currency is centralised.
Centralisation equals total control.
How will this centralised digital wallet handle authentication?
It’ll require you to input all of your personal data and a facial scan, all conveniently sent to the government’s centralised database.
Yes there should be a full independent inquiry. It’s unacceptable that councils think they can audit and regulate themselves.
However, the bigger issue is, they still can’t audit all of the money they’ve spent since the system went live.
No wonder they don’t want a full inquiry.
Still no real detail from the Barclays outage a few weeks back and now this.
Let’s not forget that Halifax and Lloyds also had issues when Barclays went down.
Parliament also issued a demand to 9 banks to explain what happened and find out how resilient they are.
The lack of transparency doesn’t smell right?
So why is Europe in this situation?
Ask yourself why all the contracts “continually” go to the big US tech companies?
Because all the MP’s and bureaucrats giving out the contracts own massive amounts of shares in the tech companies. They make lots of noise about the US in public but are all getting filthy rich from your tax money.
The issue here is that it’s too easy for people in senior positions managing projects involving technology they’re not proficient in, to blow tax payers money. It’s easy because they’re unaccountable for failure and they still get paid regardless of any failure.
Put them all on performance related pay and the wasting of other people’s money will disappear.
….. because those dishing out the money have already purchased massive share allocations in the companies involved and $10B will pump the share price significantly.
Check the net worth of any politician or bureaucrat and it’s many times more than their lifetime earnings.
You don’t become an MP to help your citizens, you become an MP so you get insider knowledge of which companies your citizens tax is going to.
The rush to offer a satellite service is only because the legacy telcos know that Elon is going to release a phone.
With Starlink in place Elon has the ability to release the X Phone with the carrier subscription included.
When you look at the size of the iPhone and Galaxy revenue it’s too tempting not to go after that market.
The UK tax code is 10 million words - 21,000 pages. To put that number in some kind of perspective, the Complete Works of Shakespeare is about 880,000 words. So our tax code is about 12 times the length of the Complete Works of Shakespeare. It's about 12.5 times the number of words in the Bible (800,000 words).
All by design.
It’s how they justify robbing you of all that tax, but it actually goes straight to the companies they own shares in.
Why do you think nothing is actually changed by Parliament.
Chief Architect of red tape, laws and big government was Tony Blair. He’s amassed a personal fortune of over £100 million from it.
Adam Back is British - invented Hashcash. A similar system is used in Bitcoin.
Hal Finney was American - worked on Bitcoin code, received the first Bitcoin transaction.
Nick Szabo is American - pioneered smart contracts, conceptualised decentralised Bit Gold.
Gavin Andresen is Australian - early developer of Bitcoin.
This is what happens when people know they won’t be held accountable.
Councils need auditing regarding who is in senior roles in the organisation because this is now a country wide problem.
Billions of pounds of taxpayers money is being squandered by people who will never be sacked for bad decisions.
It’s beyond a joke.
Apple’s fine and other fines to tech giants are all distraction.
Fines are costed in by these businesses.
The EU are pretending to do something.
The leaders of the EU are all heavily invested in Apple stock and all the tech giants. Check their net worth. They’re never going to penalise these businesses heavily.
Sounds like the people know that CBDC’s are designed for centralised control and don’t want to give up their freedom.
The trouble is, governments will give out free money to get people to download the app. People will lap it up.
The app will also create a Digital ID database by stealth.
Certain companies have always been arrogant.
There’s a long history of the purchasers throwing their weight around, but the reality is that they didn’t do their homework and are equally responsible.
You can’t buy an overpriced second hand car, then complain that it’s overpriced, but you didn’t check the service history.
