| IsambardPrince | MinceR, "Pulled all my Savings Bonds. | Feb 05 04:33 |
| IsambardPrince | As of this morning, I now own zero Savings Bonds. | Feb 05 04:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 04:33 | |
| IsambardPrince | With the Treasury seemingly having been infiltrated by a 25 year old Hungarian(?) man with no security clearance, (some sources now say he has a clearance, others say no, but they probably keep them on a toilet tank at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. these days) who is now apparently controlling which bills the government feels like paying, I didn't feel comfortable having a large part of my nest egg in I bonds. Since they had reached the | Feb 05 04:33 |
| IsambardPrince | penalty free withdrawal point I decided there was no reason to continue holding onto those, and will use CD accounts instead. | Feb 05 04:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 04:33 | |
| IsambardPrince | While my State does have an income tax, it's not ridiculously high. It's disturbing to me that whenever people try to put a list of names of people who have illegally burrowed into the Treasury on X, they get their posts deleted and their accounts banned, and the Acting DC US Attorney is preparing "criminal charges" for people who quote names, which are released publicly by many news sites already. (They say there will be charges, | Feb 05 04:33 |
| IsambardPrince | but they can't quote any laws that they think apply, which is also sadly becoming a thing now.) | Feb 05 04:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 04:33 | |
| IsambardPrince | It doesn't make me confident about what's going on in there. I did get my tax refund today. I acted early hoping that if they mess something up or just decide to start seizing people's Savings Bonds or tax returns that I would at least get my own money back. | Feb 05 04:33 |

| IsambardPrince | Musk is deleting pretty much all the parts of the government that contribute to pure science. | Feb 05 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | So that's disconcerting. | Feb 05 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | I've never agreed with the way the NIH is set up. | Feb 05 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | But destroying it completely will be worse. | Feb 05 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | They fund a lot of "junk" research you know. | Feb 05 07:46 |

| IsambardPrince | In some cases they fund the development of blockbuster drugs, for HIV and cancer and stuff, very important. | Feb 05 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | But then they pretty much give it away to private companies so they can squeeze and squeeze. | Feb 05 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Do you know what ONE month's worth of HIV drugs cost? | Feb 05 07:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Between $4500 and $6000 for the modern stuff. | Feb 05 07:47 |
| IsambardPrince | If federal taxpayers do the "pure science" part then there ought to be a "clawback" that forces the drug companies to fund the NIH out of their profits. | Feb 05 07:48 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, they should have to pay it back so the funds can be "reused" investigating disease research that they're not interested in. Stuff that wouldn't be profitable because there's not enough patients with that, you know that research should be turned over freely. | Feb 05 07:49 |
| IsambardPrince | But about 4 million Americans have HIV. | Feb 05 07:49 |
| IsambardPrince | That's two-thirds of the population of Indiana, basically. | Feb 05 07:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Why should we just give all this stuff away? | Feb 05 07:49 |
| IsambardPrince | It's just an ungodly expensive disease to treat, and they say they use the profits to research new drugs, but they just come up with new formulations as the patents age. | Feb 05 07:50 |
| IsambardPrince | But look at some of the things that get NIH grants. | Feb 05 07:51 |
| IsambardPrince | A few hundred thousand dollars here and there. Small by government spending standards, but like, who wants to know the sex habits of pigeons on cocaine? | Feb 05 07:51 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't. | Feb 05 07:51 |
| IsambardPrince | It's possible some of the DOGE stuff actually will save money. | Feb 05 07:52 |
| IsambardPrince | The government doesn't tend to do anything except collect programs and not assess them. | Feb 05 07:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Usually what happens is Congress gets together and does a Continuing Resolution. And what we need is Zero Based Budgeting. | Feb 05 07:53 |
| IsambardPrince | All those agencies should have to explain why they need that money. | Feb 05 07:53 |
| IsambardPrince | When I write out a household budget I don't go "Well I spent x amount of money last month so spending is continued at that level." | Feb 05 07:54 |
| IsambardPrince | But that's how Congress does it. | Feb 05 07:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Some things work well on autopilot, many things don't. | Feb 05 07:54 |
| IsambardPrince | What concerns me more than DOGE is the "sovereign fund". | Feb 05 07:55 |
| IsambardPrince | The bailouts to Trump cronies will be official. | Feb 05 07:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They want to take over and run TikTok so they can do the same things with it the CCP does now. | Feb 05 07:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They're even talking about buying Bitcoins for fuck's sake. | Feb 05 07:56 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, A post: | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | US Government Creating "Sovereign Wealth Fund". | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Without getting overly political, this concerns me greatly. | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 10:07 | |
| IsambardPrince | The bailouts to cronies will be official, even if it's not in the national interest. Companies which are essentially dying off and trying to cover it up with buzzwords and marketing like "AI" will be "zombified" at taxpayer expense. | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 10:07 | |
| IsambardPrince | Like Microsoft, which lays people off with no warning and no severance pay now. They've been having mass layoffs every month for nearly two years. | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 10:07 | |
| IsambardPrince | The regime wants to use the "sovereign fund" to take over and run TikTok so they can do the same things with it the CCP does now. Spy on Americans, create dossiers, figure out who the "political enemies are". Not good. Think Facebook or Google, but without even the appearance that they sometimes refuse to hand over information about users. Hello CIA/FBI/NSA/ICE/Whatever! Most people will likely not even notice the "ownership" has | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | been nationalized and plugged straight into the databases of the "alphabet soup" agencies. | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 10:07 | |
| IsambardPrince | They're even talking about buying Bitcoins for crying out loud. Something that is essentially without any value, and is not even legal tender, and is a greenhouse gas bomb, and which would be massively deflationary and economy-killing if it did represent a national economy. It's not backed by any government or insured by the FDIC, so you can lose everything, and it's not at all clear that the IRS will quit making you fill out these | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | ridiculous capital gains forms if you touch it, and it's too volatile. | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 10:07 | |
| IsambardPrince | I would be totally all for it if the Federal Reserve did a "cryptodollar", I mean the blockchain could revolutionize banking. The US banking system is antiquated and slow, but we do need a national currency. Plus, the "cryptodollar" could cut out the bank for the "unbanked". They could just open up a wallet at the Fed. | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 10:07 | |
| IsambardPrince | Finally, the idea of a sovereign "wealth" fund implies wealth, not $36 trillion of debt that's going up a trillion dollars every 90-100 days now. Which is where we're at. | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 10:07 | |
| IsambardPrince | Some governments have a sovereign fund to promote open source software. Germany does this. I approve of that. German tech grants land into projects I benefit from every day, as an American, like LibreOffice, or KDE. But the value to the government is getting their IT away from closed source systems where they're not in control of their data, or what the program can do for them. | Feb 05 10:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 10:08 | |
| IsambardPrince | But the idea that taxpayers should be on the hook for "investments" that the President decides to make is just horrible. The government has never once made money when it decided to "invest". And what are we trying to do here anyway? Emulate Communist countries with State Owned Enterprises? | Feb 05 10:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 10:08 | |
| IsambardPrince | From "rescuing" GM only to hand it back over to the same fools who put it in bankruptcy the first time, to losing 100% of our "investment" on Solyndra, and more, the government has been uniquely horrible at picking winners and losers. | Feb 05 10:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Feb 05 10:08 | |
| IsambardPrince | I don't think this will be "government efficiency" at all, rather the entire thing stinks to high heaven of "slush fund". | Feb 05 10:08 |
| IsambardPrince | --- | Feb 05 10:08 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, The US banking system is pretty horrible when you're trying to pay someone through ACH or check or Zelle or something. | Feb 05 10:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Delays in ACH, massive fraud (in Zelle). | Feb 05 10:08 |
| IsambardPrince | PayPal? Well, that gets rid of a lot of the speed problem but brings more, like account freezes, terrible customer service, and....fraud. | Feb 05 10:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Also tax forms. Who doesn't love tax forms? | Feb 05 10:09 |
| IsambardPrince | They hand you a 1099-K over an increasingly small amount of money. $5,000 is small, but eventually it'll be $600, which is trivial. | Feb 05 10:10 |
| IsambardPrince | And then they won't even tell you if it's taxable or not, they'll just give it to you, give it to the IRS, and it's your problem to make sense of it. | Feb 05 10:10 |
| IsambardPrince | 1099-K is a really nasty tax form. It's designed so that business owners who make enough that they probably have a CPA doing their taxes get them. | Feb 05 10:11 |
| IsambardPrince | I joked about the $600 threshold, because it used to be $20,000. | Feb 05 10:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Biden's beating you up and taking your dog walking money. | Feb 05 10:12 |
| IsambardPrince | https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/2/4/2301323/-Another-FAFO-Story-From-Trump-Voter-In-TX-Who-Worries-His-Undocumented-Dad-Will-Be-Deported | Feb 05 10:17 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, I haven't had a Facebook account in years. | Feb 05 10:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Last time Trump was in office, he tried passing a regulation that said they were going to search through Facebook to try to find things to use against people like me. | Feb 05 10:27 |
| IsambardPrince | So I decided to delete the account and never use it again. | Feb 05 10:28 |
