Biden's Endeavor Into the Digital Pony World

 I sat this afternoon and read through a business piece: 'Biden Administration to develop regulations over cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin) and NFTs within the next couple of weeks.  Reason given?  National security.

Then I just started laughing.  

Odds of controlling Bitcoin?  Zero.  It's too late.

Odds of controlling NFTs?  I'd give it around a 1-percent chance.

Bitcoin was developed within the concept of being non-regulated.  Unless you take down the internet.....there's no way to hold back or control Bitcoin.

In fact, my question right now.....what idiot in the Treasury Department suggested this, and what idiots within Wall Street convinced Biden to take this move?

As for NFTs?  If you went to a custom designer and he built 32 unicorns for a particular digital world, and valued them on day one at $1,500 each.  They might be worth $10,000 within a year.  Can you imagine writing the regulation to cover a non-existent fantasy unicorn, and how it holds values or decreases value?  You can't.

An entire division of five-hundred people in IRS or the Treasury Department....heading up control of NFTs?  If this occurs....it's a joke. 

So, for 2022.....I'd put this Biden agenda item as the number one most stupid thing on the list so far, and worthless.  

Biden, A Supreme Court Judge and Filters

 President Biden now has to go out and find someone who qualifies for the Supreme Court Judge.

So, onto the filters.

It has to be a woman (don't ask why).

It has to be a black woman.

It has to be a black woman with a law degree from a prestigious college (a law degree from University of Mississippi probably won't work).

It has to be a black woman with a law degree from a prestigious college who is a fair bit to the left (just being moderate is not enough).

It has to be a black woman with a law degree from a prestigious college who is a fair bit to the left, who is financially secure (not having declared bankruptcy in their life).

It has to be a black woman with a law degree from a prestigious college who is a fair bit to the left, who is financially secure, who has not said some really stupid crap on Twitter or Facebook in the past decade.

It has to be a black woman with a law degree from a prestigious college who is a fair bit to the left, who is financially secure, who has not said some really stupid crap on Twitter or Facebook in the past decade, who can safely sit in front of 15-odd stupid US Senators to answer 300 questions.

It has to be a black woman with a law degree from a prestigious college who is a fair bit to the left, who is financially secure, who has not said some really stupid crap on Twitter or Facebook in the past decade, who can safely sit in front of 15-odd stupid US Senators to answer 300 questions, who doesn't have two or three sexual scandals marginally hidden.  

It has to be a black woman with a law degree from a prestigious college who is a fair bit to the left, who is financially secure, who has not said some really stupid crap on Twitter or Facebook in the past decade, who can safely sit in front of 15-odd stupid US Senators to answer 300 questions, who doesn't have two or three sexual scandals marginally hidden, who actually has a legal mind capable of making judgements.  

Once you establish this filter, I'd say it's near impossible to find any black woman who can fill the filter.

From the ten-odd black women on Biden's 'go-to' list....each probably is sitting there and worried that she might be asked, and have two or three things which she really doesn't want to have come up in the committee hearing. 

Just admitting that they went to a mental health doctor back in 2008 for stress issues, or had a DWI in 2004 at college, or married to a guy who is into police-uniform role-play situations for kinky stuff....would be a serious problem.

So, if you haven't been entertained enough in 2021....just sit back....this ought to be fairly interesting.
