Either way, you have to admit that it would at least be extremely annoying.
Not really. I find it quite enjoyable to support business I like over business I don't.

Banks would definitely love if that happened, but I don't see any government seriously agreeing to that for several reasons.
Huh? What would a central bank find disagreeable about a centralized currency? Especially with the backing of law to monopolize it.

Still don't think you understand the scope of this problem, but alright. lol

Nothing. That's what I was saying. Banks would love it. Governments shouldn't.

I don't think you understand my commitment to solving it. I want to be the prairie doctor, taking off a limb with a hacksaw to stop gangrene.

I'm confused by this phrasing. Have you been trying to say the fed would love a cbdc, but shouldn't morally? Cuz yeah, that's what a "congressional blacklist" is for, I'd think? Or that the fed would like it if they were smarter, but won't for some reason? Or something else?

That bill seems fine all the way up until I read that non-governmental organizations can use these digital identity verification services. For something like credit reporting services, fine. It makes sense. (Although companies REALLY shouldn't be controlling credit-reporting in the first place, but I digress.) For anything else though, this looks kinda fucked.

I don't know. Maybe I misread this? Could someone else please read it and give a second opinion?

Wheeee! Another fucked bill by our glorious leaders in the senate. This time, it's the Cooper Davis Act! With a guest appearance by the DEA. How wonderful.

Todd Young has been added to the blacklist.

Eight new motherfuckers to add to the list... EIGHT. What the fuck, man? Should I just delete the entire Senate list and add instead, "All of them,"? Certainly would save me a LOT of time, considering how much shit these people push out onto us.

Names added:
Sen. Britt, Katie Boyd [R-AL]
Sen. Coons, Christopher A. [D-DE]
Sen. Lankford, James [R-OK]
Sen. Marshall, Roger [R-KS]
Sen. Mullin, Markwayne [R-OK]
Sen. Risch, James E. [R-ID]
Sen. Scott, Rick [R-FL]
Sen. Wicker, Roger F. [R-MS]
