I didn’t say or imply I know everything.

But I do have a very low opinion of trying to make money without making wealth but only consuming resources.

I am even more humbled when I meet master virtue-signallers such as yourself.

So you tell me what of value is being produced for the resources being consumed? What goods or services are made? What is done except consume electricity and pretend you’ve got money as a consequence?

It IS more ethical than LBJ deciding to spend the “assets” of the black ink on one bunch of Social Security neglecting that it was offset by matching “liabilities” (all real value having long been spent by Congress) mainly because for the miners it isn’t a breech of Trust as it was for the politicians.

... not gonna say is isn’t an abuse of Trust for those running the show though....

Bingo! Besides IF message traffic is being transmitted over vast distances wouldn’t you want it encrypted in some way?

I admitted you are much holier than I. What more do you want?

It’s amazing how hard people will work to get “free” money. :)
