FR Really this is probably going nowhere, but then I am reminded os those who get busted for selling raw milk. Some are treated like the just sold a million dollars worth of hard drugs. Ostensibly to protect public health, they have it now that while it is obviously not totally illegal to sell raw milk, because of course it is processed and sold on the shelf every day. However now it is apparently only legal to sell to certain buyers who will homgenize, pasteurize and stabilize it. Well I want the raw milk, but I am not asking to buy any here, because as a result it would actually violate TOS. Even though it is legal to sell, it is not legal to sell to me, or you. They can break you for selling it, because of seizure "laws", of the same type that enables them to take your yacht if they find a joint on board. Don't pick on Hunky - all that much. He's just passing it on. What I am saying though, is while this whole thing might really go nowhere, the email tax idea did come from someone who worked for the government. The idea to collect rent on any privately held cash reserves came from someone in the government. Of course these ridiculous schemes met with an early demise and went nowhere, but I wouldn't put anything past them. And realize this, an EO by the President is law no matter how daringly it flies in the face of our rights, the Constitution or anything including whatever the UN might have to say. The oval office got that power pretty much permanently back in the 1930s. I've heard of court challenges to EOs, but imagine the resources it takes to do so. And then look at just who is pushing for this shit, and what there resources are. As flippant as some of these proposals are, they could be enacted. I consider that a threat, and all the people out there who say that some of us are crazed conspiracy theorists will one day ignore the WRONG threat. Then we will live in AmeriKa. T
