    I’m good where I am. But I also don’t look for reasons to be scared everyday.

    If people move to China because of stories that take 10 seconds to debunk, then sure move to China.

    I'm more interested in how they'd plan to enforce this "like Trudeau."

    PayPal can act like a bank, but they're mostly viewed as a POS service. Debiting large amounts of money is full on thuggery, and I'm wondering how they think they can pull that off.

    This is not what Social Credit means. Pundits are using it for the headlines and obvious financial optics, Social credit is far more insidious.

    As for RDS, let's wait for him to formalize national policies or strategies before pinning or projecting hope onto what he'd do here.

    I actually had to google that when I first moved here.

    But it's not like you guys are super advanced. Y'all still use checks all over the place.

    DeSantis' actions in punishing private corporations for views on social issues and his stunt of performative arrests to propagate the "Trump won 2020" narrative says that he probably is the exact opposite of what ATW claims to advocate for.

    There's also square cash.

    If Elon turns twitter into WeChat, you can load up on doge or elonBucks.

    Not doubting that, just saying that consumer transactions with checks seems old-fashioned.

    You and your woke culture BS gets old. Don't use Pay Pal if you don't like their ridiculous policies. Same reason I won't vote for any Republican candidate. I don't believe in their agendas to steal an election, their White Nationalist views, and their nonstop dangerous incitement of the hate groups that support them.

    Credit and background history IS a social credit score.

    Man. That policy is almost as authoritarian as DeSantis policies. Not quite, but almost.

    Good thing that isn't their actual policy. Sadly those are DeSantis' actual policies
