If You're in Crypto, You're a Criminal



If you work in crypto, you are going to hell. I stand with Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), as part of her anti-crypto army, in condemning this villainous industry chock full of crooks, bastards and fools waiting to be separated from their money. The grift and crime rampant throughout crypto is comical and villainous. It is comically villainous.

Together with the likes of newsletter writer Matt Stoller, we of the anti-crypto army are banding together to strengthen regulatory attention on crypto. No way should there be a means for consenting peers to transact directly without a bank or other financial institution to act as an intermediary.

Blockchain Association's Employment of 'Small Army' of Former Security Officials Angers US Senator Elizabeth Warren​

The United States Senator for Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren, has written a letter criticizing the Blockchain Association for enlisting the help of “a small army” of past security officials in its bid to undermine Congress’ attempt to link crypto to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks on Israel. In her Dec. 18 letter addressed to Kristin Smith, the Blockchain Association’s CEO, Warren cites a Politico report that names former U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper as one of the security experts.

Warren’s repudiation of the Blockchain Association’s efforts comes just days after her latest anti-crypto bill won bipartisan support. As reported by Bitcoin.com News, Warren’s Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act is also endorsed by organizations such as the Bank Policy Institute, Massachusetts Bankers Association, Transparency International U.S., Global Financial Integrity, and National District Attorneys Association.

In her letter, the Massachusetts senator appears to take umbrage at the crypto industry’s ability to secure the services of former members of the U.S. Congress. The senator also described the industry’s “abuse of the revolving door” as appalling.

iRobot Lays Off 350 Employees as Amazon Kills Merger Elizabeth Warren Opposed​

Today, Amazon terminated its planned acquisition of iRobot, manufacturer of Roomba robot vacuums, as the companies saw "no path to regulatory approval." iRobot then announced that it would be cutting nearly one-third of its work force.

While the companies blamed regulators in the European Union for the termination, meddlesome U.S. lawmakers played their own part in souring the deal.

In August 2022, Amazon announced its intent to buy iRobot for $1.7 billion. The acquisition would complement Amazon's growing stable of smart home products, like Echo Hub control panels and Ring video doorbells.

The following month, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) began an investigation of the merger, and lawmakers weighed in soon after. In a letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) and five Democratic representatives recommended that "the FTC should use its authority to oppose the Amazon–iRobot transaction" as the acquisition "could harm consumers and reduce competition and innovation in the home robotics market."

She was worried about Amazon selling piss poor vacuum cleaners?

Priorities: Elizabeth Warren Mad at TurboTax for Taking Money She Thinks Belongs to the Government​

Elizabeth Warren likes taking and spending your money. But she doesn't like it when you spend your money on things. Like a service that helps you navigate the insane tax code. You know, the one that says you can go to prison for a long time or pay lots of money in penalties if you don't do it correctly.

The focus of her ire right now is TurboTax. Their crime? 'Upselling' willing taxpayers.

You either listened to all that, stabbed your ears with the nearest sharp object about halfway through, or couldn't bring yourself to click it.

Here's a quick summary:

When Apple iPhone users text each other, it uses Apple's iMessage service, and your text messages are surrounded by a blue bubble. When a non-iPhone user messages you, it doesn't use iMessage and your text messages appear in a green bubble.

In Senator Warren's mind this is greenbubblephobic … or something like that. Apple is 'ruining relationships'. Yep, she said that.

Perhaps you're being left out of group chats because nobody likes you?

Isn't there more to it then the green bubble in group text when the android responds?

Yes. The protocols used and the routing to send between Apple changes when it goes to the "outside" world. You can see this manifest as a longer delay in messages to non-Apple devices. If you have a group of people with mixed blue and green devices, and send a message from a blue device to all, the other blue devices receive and respond to the originator before the green device even gets the first message.

Obviously, the problem is with RACIST White Electrons holding back Electrons of Color due to 4 Billion Years of Oppression.
