This is the final test as to whether my "founding contributor" contribution is indicated with an icon.
Tis a simple test.
~
Edit - so the test is over and either I am NOT a founding member, the funds were not received, or P&S has turned off icons indicating contributing members - if that is the case, as a founding member I would like to know from P&S direct one way or the other. If no response is received, I will assume that is the case, and then I will verify my payment was processed and then I will know - if the choice was made conscious then fine by me, but if the choice was made unknowing, then my advice is to acknowledge those that believe enough in what you say they are willing to pay $150 a year I think it was.

See - this is why cash is better.
Not kidding around, and not trying to be flippant, but really if faith is lost...then there is no getting it back because faith lost once is lost forever.
Good try Ken but I think you have got your answer on another thread. However, I have run a GoFundMe site since 2018 where you can make a one-off donation if you wish and I will then publish your support - with a pretty picture - if you would email me a pic: peteru999@gmail.com
P&S - Sorry to trouble you with this - it is a test of the Substack servers.
Please ignore this message.
Another test will be conducted soon, and ignore that one as well please.
I got ways of figuring stuff out - my brain just works that way.
I hope you don't mind.

I'll tell you this though - one thing that makes "cash" better - is the transaction happens in a moment, in public, and everybody understands the currency of it....but if faith in fiat is lost, then all bets are off and that is when it is better to have other items with recognized value versus funds in the bank - because we all ought know - they will STEAL it from you in a heartbeat. Which commandment was that by the way - thou shalt not steal? Was it written on a stone bought down by Moses? If so, why is it being defiled.
Case in point being I'm feeling a bit irritable before I have to go to the damn dentist again - I invested in RSX and now that "equity" no longer exists and my investment for me is apparently worthless, but I know better. Somebody stole that from me invested fair and square and they have stolen from so many, that now there is going to be hell to pay.
Just to take this to it gory end....I think the servers are acting slowly and this fiscal contribution has NOT been consummated. Now if you choose not to acknowledge those who are founding members, that is your choice and I respect it, but I suspect the fiscal transaction is for some reason being delayed and my antennas are up and waiting....I have other way to determine if payment has been received and central bankers are on notice - we know you are thieves and we are coming to get you.
Simple as that.
(Edit - 6723 - "text deleted")
Ain't it a shame that dam was blown up - I just hate it when good infrastructure is destroyed, but can't deny the central bankers relish in that sort of thing - the evidence is overwhelming and so really - do they not? Being they do, why would anybody want to be on the same team as them? They are a scourge and fiat that has lost all faith is worthless as a penny on the road with Lincoln face down...not even worth the trouble of picking it up, unless it is older and has some copper in it....then it is viewers choice I reckon - me...nowadays...I got better things than to pick up a misbegotten penny probably don't have much copper in it in the first place and frankly Lincoln probably made the wrong choice. I guess we are going to go through that all again, and this time I think if the states want to separate - then they have the RIGHT to do as such without the need for conflict.
Let me know what you think P&S and I hope your runner beans have emerged, but I did suggest it might be time for contingencies in that regard.
Of course I know you silly pickle - I love you to bits and you make my comments so interesting and enjoyable! :-)
Updates on the beans will follow in 14 days - in the meantime you are exactly right about fiat currencies - a massive Ponzi scheme perpetrated over many centuries! BOOM's video explains it all - but it is a bit of a slog.
I don't mind in the slightest Ken - I love our conversations and it is a joy to have you comment. You are so right about faith and trust - without this currency is nothing. My good friend BOOM (Dr Gerry) has a video explaining everything about money but it is over an hour and quite mind-bending. Some with an odd way of thinking will find it intriguing: https://rumble.com/v1v96k0-dr-gerry-brady-presentation-on-money-supply-and-wealth.html
I like to keep stashes of cash in several different places - not so much in the bank lately, but banks are still needed.
I got one stash hidden in a drawer, another somewhere else, and another place or two or three or four that I use for stashing cash....I consider it sort of "cheap insurance" against the central bankers. Effing central bankers need to get with the game.
The first step for them to "get with the game" is to disavow MMT.
Step 2 probably entails some sort of jubilee.
Step 3 will follow from Steps 1 and 2.
It ain't complicated, but central bankers are sort of addicted to the printing press and they want us all to be slaves to their addiction via CBDC - fuck that.
FYI - I just upgraded to be a "founding member" - lets see if the icon reflects that.
Nope - no sweat of my back....I'll still say the same things because I have principle.
One principle I abide by is "do no harm". That ain't complicated is it?
Maybe - this fiscal transaction paid via credit takes a bit of processing - but I contributed enough to be Founding Member at this place - I put my money where my mouth is at.
Many thanks Ken. I have been busy in the garden cleaning weeding and planting - and yes, the runner bean seeds are in now - the weather is great so I am expecting a good crop together with turnips, radish, spring onion, and perpetual spinach (which we lost last year - they didn't survived the 14 days of below zero this winter).
So back to work and getting to all you other comments later to day. Stay well,
P&S - Glad to hear about your garden going well.....I swear yesterday, I clicked the button to be a "Founding Member" - in fact I got an email confirming this I thought - but apparently the transaction never happened...???? Now it doesn't even seem to be an option......I suspect you haven't officially decided if you want "paid subscribers".....if you decide to do that later, I will contribute fiscally. Until then, I'll try not to be too much of a troublemaker...
I miss my garden - I've been away from it for too long. I need to get my hands in the soil and probably the lawn grass is getting taller than desired....
No worries Ken - I haven't set paid subscribers but you can hit the 'pledge' button which tells me that you would pay if I decide to offer this in the future.
However, even if I do this later (Substack get a cut and I think they deserve it), there will always be a free option to all my scribbles - I believe that knowledge should be free at point of use because those that need it most often have little money to spare.
Well, the pee-wee football game is getting into the 2nd half and I've seen enough AA type links, so I think I'll skip that one.
Promotion by Attraction sounds like a 20th century idea to me P&S.
With that said, I have committed to be a founding member here at your SubStack - do I get no icon for that on your place? Or maybe the transaction hasn't been consummated? I play for keeps, I play to win, and seriously central bankers are on notice.
Well, I just read what I said I would post closely and lo-and-behold, so far, so good in that regard for this day in my mind....so - that is the icon I desire!
The CBs are certainly on notice Ken - I monitor their doings daily. In UK they are moving to Digital ID early next year as a precursor to CBDCs by 2025 target. BUT they need compliance and this is looking less likely unless the herd buy into UBI - many will always go for free money - they are the 'marks' of course.
Cash...use it or lose it. I pay with cash every chance I get. This is the legal way to get around this economic aberration of only digital money.

Thank you for that. He has always been a good source.
Thanks Peter. Excellent overview of the hurly burly of the financial world.
You are such star, Andy - I really appreciate your careful attention to my scribbles!

LOL - no it ain't complicated Ken, "First do no harm" is a fine mantra and one I promote. Live by this and all your troubles will dissolve. Along with this I promote "Promotion by Attraction". Actually this comes to us from AA. And so I follow a daily pattern that I learned long ago: https://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk/download/1/Library/Documents/Downloads/Just_for_today.pdf
For you P&S - I will post what you have shared where I am able to do as such.
