Are we paranoid or is this a diversion?
While speaking Thursday his second day of testimony regarding monetary policy, Powell said the Fed has not considered the release of a digital dollar anytime soon.
“We’re nowhere near recommending – or let alone adopting – a central bank digital currency in any form,” Powell said. “People don’t need to worry about it.”
He also addressed concerns that the potential future release of a digital dollar would give the Fed a direct line into tracking the spending habits of Americans, allowing the central bank to make politically motivated decisions to cut some people off if they behave in a manner that they don’t approve of.
“If that were a government account, that the government would see all your transactions, that’s just something we would not stand for or do or propose here in the United States,” Powell said. He added that the Fed would enlist the banking system to manage people’s accounts, just as they do currently.
He contrasted the Fed’s approach to what has been seen in China, where a social credit system that monitors citizen’s daily activities can result in them being banned from accessing certain services if they go against prescribed norms.
“If we were to ever to do something like [a CBDC] – and we’re very long way from even thinking about it – we would do this through the banking system,” Powell said. “The last thing we would want with the Federal Reserve would be to have individual accounts for all Americans, or any Americans for that matter.”
While Powell and other officials have repeatedly pushed back against concerns around the creation of a digital dollar, the topic has become a point of focus for many on the Republican side of the aisle, including former President and current Presidential candidate Donald Trump, who vowed to “never allow” the Federal Reserve to create a central bank digital currency if he is re-elected.

Watch: President Biden Delivers The “Darkest, Most Un-American Speech Given By A President”
Dark Brandon’s back and “…he lives in an alternative reality.”
“Having successfully raged, ranted, lied, and yelled through the State of The Union, President Biden can go back to his crypt now. Whatever ‘they’ gave Biden, every American man, woman, and the other should be allowed to take it – though it seems the cocktail brings out ‘dark Brandon’?
Tucker Carlson’s response sums it all up perfectly: “that was possibly the darkest, most un-American speech given by an American president. It wasn’t a speech, it was a rant…” Carlson continued: “The true measure of a nation’s greatness lies within its capacity to control borders, yet Bid refuses to do it.” “In a fair election, Joe Biden cannot win”

The Goddess That Failed
On International Women’s Day, we should admit that the feminist movement has not been good for anyone–even its alleged beneficiaries. by Janice Fiamengo
For International Women’s Day, let’s also consider feminism’s impact on women, and recognize that it’s been very bad there too.
Not just radical feminism. Not just the hateful or fringe variety. The whole thing, with its sob stories and sentimental celebrations, its exaggerations and cover-ups, its relentless focus on the demands and alleged needs of one half of humanity at the expense of the other, has been a monumental disaster.
For over 50 years, the movement has been mired in fraudulent claims, myopia, special pleading, double standards, abandonment of principles, manifold hypocrisies, and emotional incontinence.
It has continually misrepresented the situation of women and men, and has induced in its female adherents an unhealthy mix of wounded self-regard, festering resentment, and self-righteous indignation, often overlaid with an unfounded conviction of moral superiority and contempt for the unenlightened.
