Usually if you're inside fortifications like tunnels, you are a combattant

One minute you're there. In your own flock. You talk to the sheep next to you. Her name is Bertha. Bertha isn't like all the other sheep. She's got a raspy deep voice like she smoked 32 packs of cigarettes every day. Bertha smiles at you sheepishly and looks at you. For some reason you feel like you're herded towards Bertha. That night out in the field, you meet Bertha up on the hill while all the other sheep are asleep. Suddenly, Bertha brushes up next to you and gives you a kiss. You feel yourself blush, taken back by Bertha's forwardness. She says that she has a place for the two of you to go. Bertha opens the gate and leads you out with her. The gate swings shut and you wonder how you managed to follow this sheep that you just met. Bertha leads you to the bar and orders you a drink. Bertha however takes off her disguise. She's actually a shepherd dog. Even more taken back, Bertha tells you "Confession time, Mona - I've led you astray". The Shepard hangs her head low You see the sadness in her eyes. It's such a scandalous thing for a Shepard dog to fall in love with a sheep. "I-I don't know what to say Bertha!" You stammer as Bertha looks into your eyes. You feel your cheeks flush as she gazes at you. The bartender looks up at the two of you and asks if you need anything. "Is it possible that we can stay the night here?" You say. You immediately regret it, but the words already came out of your mouth. The bartender points up the stairs and says in a gruff voice. "Don't make too much noise" Bertha pays the bartender and you go up to the room as if enchanted by a magic spell

Reminds me of the story of people's .mil emails going to the .ml top level domain and the Malian government asking the US to fix their shit

Ah yes, avoiding the controversy of UK politics by covering US politics.

I love the funny map men. Michigan just redrew their districts with an independent redistricting committee, and the results were pretty good if I remember.

This bill has just passed the US House of Representatives. Why is this important?

Today, we have Visa and Mastercard as our choice of digital payment. Some have floated crypto as an alternate, but crypto is complicated and not backed by an economy or central bank. Others have floated the idea of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) that matches the availability of Mastercard and Visa, but do not go through their services. It could also be used offline with smart devices.

Some critics have cited concerns over privacy, where the central government could collect information, while others have pointed out that Visa and Mastercard collect that sort of data anyways, and CBDCs might log less data if designed differently.

The point may soon become moot if the bill passes the Senate and receive the president's signature

My take on this bill is that it's a ban that should not be put into place. CBDC can still be issued to banks though, just not for you and me. It keeps Credit card companies able to charge high merchant fees.

If I were to write a bill on CBDC, I would put in privacy restrictions into the bill, but still allow for individual CBDC to be issued.
