I encourage everyone to check out the Monetary Justice website, and to share it with anybody who expresses concern about the current state of the U.S. economy.

@npub1e87s4...What’s the gist?
The site argues that financial institutions have partnered with the federal government to devise a monetary system that allows both parties to exploit the American people. While this is not news to bitcoiners who have spent countless hours learning about the monetary system, the Monetary Justice site makes it easy for anybody to grasp this concept in ten minutes or less. I think the simplicity of its message has the potential to wake up a lot of people.
It proposes a framework that essentially asserts that all modern repressive monetary systems have these five characteristics in common:
1) Currency Creation
2) Currency Inflation
3) Currency Compulsion
4) Currency Confinement
5) Currency Control
To institutionalize an exploitative monetary system, federal politicians, in cooperation with the banking sector, have codified these five repressive characteristics into law (the site lists these laws). And while each law on its own may be constitutional, taken together they are indicative of something called cumulative unconstitutionality. According to the site, “Cumulative unconstitutionality refers to the concept that a series of individually constitutional laws or policies can collectively become unconstitutional when their combined effect infringes on fundamental rights or violates constitutional principles."
The case is made that the monetary system is unjust and unconstitutional, and that Americans should neither abide nor accept it. Rather, we should use our greatest strengths to peaceably, but actively, resist and reform it. Those strengths are a federalized government with independent state governments (which are also unduly burdened by current monetary policy), and a constitution that exists to prevent the federal government from encroaching on citizens’ rights to life, liberty, property, speech, and self-governance; all of which are diminished by the U.S. federal monetary system.
The whole site right now is only about 4 pages, so the whole thing can be read in one quick pass. 100% worth it, IMO.
If you think more people should hear about this, be sure to mention it to your favorite content creators who might appreciate the suggestion.
