“One by one, they go to start their business day only to find a baffling message from their payments app informing them: ‘You can no longer do business with PayPal.’
There is little or no explanation. They have somehow offended the sensibilities of someone somewhere deep inside the bureaucracy.
They are simply told via an email from PayPal’s Risk and Compliance Department that, after an internal review, ‘we decided to permanently limit your account as there was a change in your business model or your business model was considered risky.’
In case there is any doubt, the email adds: ‘You’ll not be able to conduct any further business using PayPal.’
Then, toward the bottom: ‘If you have funds in your PayPal balance, we’ll hold it for up to 180 days. After that period, we’ll email you with information on how to access your funds.’”
“For the seventh year in the past decade, Americans name dissatisfaction with the government as the nation’s top problem in 2022.
An average of 19% of U.S. adults have mentioned some aspect of the government as the most important problem facing the country in Gallup’s 11 measures this year.
The government edges out the high cost of living or inflation (16%) and outpaces the economy in general (12%). Further down the list, immigration, unifying the country, COVID-19, race relations and crime each average 4% to 6% of mentions in 2022.”
“Maya MacGuineas, president of the CRFB, urged Congress to reject ‘all non-emergency new borrowing for the rest of the year,’ arguing that ‘there is no economic justification’ for it, given the size of the deficit and debt as well as the level of inflation.
’Many lawmakers are resistant to this idea because they want to enact or extend favored policies without being troubled with paying for them,’ MacGuineas said in a statement. "But this is a vote to worsen economic conditions at a time so many of them claim inflation is the most pressing economic issue. This is exactly the kind of legislative deal-making where Congress claims a win while future generations — saddled by our ever-growing debt — lose.
A pivot towards responsible budgeting can begin with the smallest of steps. Agreeing not to engage in any new borrowing for the next three weeks — a mere 19 days — is about the easiest step any lawmaker can take this year. We hope the reminder that borrowing during periods of high inflation makes the job of the Federal Reserve even more difficult will convince some lawmakers to agree to no new borrowing for the rest of 2022."
Eventful Tuesday, Ripped From The Headlines. Things To Ponder:
How about PayPal… showing their true colors?
You probably knew about this already, but there’s just something about keeping an oppressive tool of big brother smack dab in the middle of headlines.
PS: Stop using PayPal, they HATE you… A LOT.
Wait… Government is a problem???
If course it is…
You read this publication, so you know that…
What’s crazy is the survey. People aren’t stupid.
Publications like this one, and people like you, are waking people up…
Three cheers for YOU!
Keep it up.
And… this just in… the Government is a crackhead in a room full of crack!
Kudos to Maya MacGuineas and her team at the CRFB for laying out the truth.
But they need our help. How? Here’s the question to ask:
HOW CAN YOU SPEND MONEY YOU DON’T HAVE?
Keep asking… we’re having an impact.
What Does This Mean?
The government, and its minions, are being put on front street through our collective work as a people.
But, if we stop/slow down, they will keep going.
This is a critical time - power brokers are trying to control your food, property, health, and wealth. They don’t want you strong enough to fight them.
This means you need to be paying attention.
Why Should I Care?
When the anchors of your wealth, and the people who generally control the outcomes around it, aren’t doing well and are nakedly corrupt and getting away with it.
You should care.
Who is watching the watchers?
What Should I Do?
Take a moment… right now if you can… to take inventory of what you’re seeing in this newsletter each day.
Have you ever seen a time quite like this?
Ok good, you’re paying attention.
That’s the point.
If you’re not paying attention, and trapped in the hustle and bustle of a busy world (with a ton of useless stuff, by the way), this stuff will come up on you like a thief in the night.
Take stock of one thing, right now, that you need to shore up… is it food? Medical supplies? Water?
Focus on taking care of that as best you can by the end of this week.
Then, take care of the next thing.
GET MOVING ASAP.
Also, please share what you get from this newsletter.
It’s OK if you don’t understand it all.
Tell them to ask us.
Your future, and theirs, depend on it.
