    Digital currency wouldn't be as volatile as cryptos. 63% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and would be wise to not rely on cryptos.

    I used to run a whole honey extraction plant on a 4000 watt generator back in 1983. One item at a time or whatever the maximum wattage was plus 1000. Hundreds and hundreds of hours of drawing 5000 watts. I just put new brushes in this Coleman generator last week after almost 40 years. It stayed out in the rain , uncovered for 10 years or more in the backyard of my former home.

    I brought it here a few months ago. Changed the gas lines, took the plastic(a million times better than the cheap Chinese rust bomb tanks of today) tank off, cleaned it.

    Broke the carburetor off and broke it down, too. I was surprised at the simplicity of it because I've been breaking down outboard carburetors for years and that involves many more governing jets and ports. Just a single jet.
    Put a new gas filter on. Changed the oil.

    Cost me like 20 dollars. And the cheap oriellyoil was 5 dollars a quart each , for two!

    My old pop(89) looked at me like I was crazy.
    He said that thing will never run!

    I didn't fix the pull rope recoil spring. I just wound it by hand.
    2 cranks later that thing ran awesome. We both just shook our heads. Lol.

    It still and was running great but the alternator bugged out. I just changed the brushes. Lol.

    They just don't make good stuff like that any more.
    Thanks . What a great post ! May your generator run forever !

    A Central Bank Digital Currency will be the first very big step toward complete government surveillance of every one of us. Why are we letting this happen? How can we stop it?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Wait until you have no choice. An all digital currency means total control. Sorry, you can't purchase that firearm, or that beer, or those cigars or that ammo. How about a negative interest rate? How about a tax hike that automatically comes out of your account? What, you'll just take your money out of the bank? What money? It only exists digitally.
