Better stay away from American universities.
"To see the extent of the gulf that now separates the American nomenklatura from the workers and peasants, consider the findings of a Rasmussen poll from last September, which sought to distinguish the attitudes of the Ivy Leaguers from ordinary Americans.
"The poll defined the former as “those having a postgraduate degree, a household income of more than $150,000 annually, living in a zip code with more than 10,000 people per square mile,” and having attended “Ivy League schools or other elite private schools, including Northwestern, Duke, Stanford, and the University of Chicago.”
"Asked if they would favor “rationing of gas, meat, and electricity” to fight climate change, 89 percent of Ivy Leaguers said yes, as against 28 percent of regular people. Asked if they would personally pay $500 more in taxes and higher costs to fight climate change, 75 percent of the Ivy Leaguers said yes, versus 25 percent of everyone else.
'“Teachers should decide what students are taught, as opposed to parents”' was a statement with which 71 percent of the Ivy Leaguers agreed, nearly double the share of average citizens. “Does the U.S. provide too much individual freedom?” More than half of Ivy Leaguers said yes; just 15 percent of ordinary mortals did. The elite were roughly twice as fond as everyone else of members of Congress, journalists, union leaders, and lawyers. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 88 percent of the Ivy Leaguers said their personal finances were improving, as opposed to one in five of the general population."

Digital currency replaces physical means of payment such as cash and checks. The handling and managing of physical transactions is more expensive as it requires people rather than a program to manage transactions. As the five big banks control 90% of all deposits–essentially a monopoly– their adoption of digital currency would impose it on all banks.
A digital currency means your money is no longer in your hands. It can be denied you intentionally or accidentally. You no longer will have a cash hoard as a backup. Possibly, if they are permitted to exist, you could collect anonymous debit cards preloaded with specific amounts, but if digital money is to be used for control, their existence is unlikely. Moreover, hackers are as likely to be successful diverting digital money as everything else.
The main destructive element of digital systems is that they remove humans from human contact. Scammers have eliminated the usefulness of a telephone as a device for speaking to another person....
You would be more distressed to know that governments were deliberately covering up the true extent of morality, hoping that the issue would go away over time.
A UK judge has just ruled it will not release the mortality statistics it has on deaths by COVID vaccination status because of the distress the data would cause. Would the distress cause more harm than the lethal vaccines themselves? It might, if millions of gullible citizens suddenly realized their governments forced a genocidal bioweapon on them and their families.
Orban met with Trump at the White House on Friday, masterfully handling a long agenda of items crafted to take both nations and the world closer to peace and Christendom.
Both governments reiterated their commitment to promoting peace efforts in Ukraine. Orbán noted that discussions about hosting a peace summit in Budapest remain ongoing. ‘Hungary offers its capabilities to assist in ending the war in Ukraine,’ he said, repeating his long-standing view that ‘Ukraine cannot defeat Russia militarily’.
Orbán characterized the meeting as ‘a day of Hungary in Washington’, noting that multiple ministerial-level discussions were held alongside the leaders’ summit. He described the talks as those of ‘two allied states with shared interests’, adding that no major disagreements emerged.
‘We identified no issue where our two nations’ positions conflicted,’ Orbán said. ‘There are no strategic differences between Hungary and the United States—only shared goals and cooperation.’
