Yesterday we saw news of a trial program being rolled out in Australia for quarantining people to have to send a picture with their location to the state within 15 minutes of a notification. Today, we have hints of a social credit score system to “crack down on online abuse.” Not really sure how anyone can defend this. The news video directly says “police will have access to your social media accounts.” Welcome to dystopia, Australia. Here’s a link to the video mentioned: link

Here's someone who related their experience in a Washington Post article : Quote 1 : ''Few complain about the rubbery pillows, uncomfortable beds, limited furnishings or soggy sandwiches in a center that politicians call the gold standard.'' Quote 2 : ''The feeling is part trailer camp, part hospital, part prison.'' Quote 3 : ''The rules are detailed: no alcohol, no care parcels, no restaurant deliveries, no balls, no sunbathing, no metal silverware, no scissors or sharp implements, no cooking in the kettle, no putting food waste into the hand basin (who does that, anyway?), no electrical appliances, no stepping off your balcony except for garbage disposal and three allotted weekly laundry spots, no skateboards or inline skates, no swimming or playing in the drains when it rains, no noise after 9.30 p.m.'' https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/australia-darwin-covid-quarantine/2021/05/21/f72bc0ac-ad1b-11eb-82c1-896aca955bb9_story.html ============================ "it’s a place for people to quarantine if they don’t have their own place to do so (i.e. anyone that doesn’t live alone). a hotel room would be another option. it’s a government provided service to limit the spread of a virus that they appear to be taking seriously. the reviews aren’t bad because the australian public sees quarantine as a necessity and they are being provided a relatively comfortable way to do so."

First-ever Bitcoin commercial made by a national government
TheWorldNewsOrg replied to TheWorldNewsOrg's topic in Topics
Awesome. Perfectly explained. “Starting in September, bitcoin will be legal currency in El Salvador, along with the USD. Using bitcoin will not be mandatory. You will have the option to pay and charge with bitcoin or with usd. The transactions in cash, the prices and the wages will still be paid in USD. You will be able to freely use the government wallet app for making transactions in both USD or in bitcoin, at any time and without any fees. Also you are free to use any other wallet for your transactions. With our government wallet you will receive a gift of 30 USD for your consumption. Using your phone for transactions will spare you from handling money and signing vouchers or receipts. The same goes for the seller, and always without transaction fees. You will also be able to receive and send money from other countries, at any time, and again without fees. Using bitcoin is easy, and it’s voluntary. Gobierno de El Salvador” -

All of the payment processor companies will lose significant income if serious adoption of crypto takes place in developed countries. It is about time there is some real competition for instant payments. -
The Taliban's new Arsenal in Afghanistan
TheWorldNewsOrg replied to TheWorldNewsOrg's topic in Topics
Some argue on who is to blame: The Afgan one who abandoned his people and fled to another country causing a complete collapse of the Afgan military? The American one who started the war 20 years ago? The American one who signed the agreement with the Taliban to withdraw and withdrew 80% of the troops? Or the other American one who largely got left holding the bag and was apparently expected to completely disarm the entire ASF and somehow move gear meant for 300k soldiers with a skeleton crew of 2500 soldiers? -

::sigh:: We already know. Covid-19. A leak from experiments in the Wuhan facility. It's been perfectly clear from the very start. They had lax procedures and ended up killing 4 million people. What are we going to do about it?
