When we post on social media platforms we don't pay to use the service, but we do agree to follow their terms and conditions: we allow [the company] to use our content and metadata (goods/services) for marketing purposes and allow them to send us targeted ads; to them this is FAR MORE VALUABLE than money.
When the Dept. of Treasury sends me money the question I ask is, what are the terms and conditions of accepting this money and what good or service am I agreeing to provide in exchange for it? Because it's not free, I don't do favors, and I'm Super Straight.
I'm rich by no stretch of the imagination but hear me out: this is the start of faggoty bullshit we were warned would grow up around us and deprive us of all property until our children wake up homeless on the continent our forefathers conquered.
Seriously consider what you're doing by accepting "free" money. You are writing a blank check to some very sketchy characters in exchange for $1,400. This is peak gimme dat clown world mentality.
You've been warned.
it's compensation for being forced out of work AND not raising hell over the fake pandemic used as an excuse. by accepting the money you accept the cause for being forced out of work. by accepting the cause you provide retroactive consent to be forced out of work.
your consent is secured with a payoff.
The time to stop it is when their hands reach into your pockets.
In the world of pure ideals, yes, and I don't mean that as an insult by the way. In practicality though, nothing changes as a result of people refusing money.
I've never been the type to allow myself to be guilt-tripped by anyone, including government or society. I loudly voiced my opposition to the nearly $2 trillion "stimulus" bill... to as many officials as I could. I'll never view myself as "consenting" to the bullshit in it simply because I was given some money.
