Read_886 - Technologies of Freedom and Oppression [FFR75]

"In Hunan, an elderly woman in a wheelchair died outside
a bank after being forced to appear in person to withdraw her own
money for medical care. Too weak to pass mandatory facial
recognition scans, she collapsed after repeated failed
attempts."
~ FFR #75


Technology is moving at an incredible pace, but the question is
which direction is it moving? I increasingly believe we are on
two divergent paths at the same time and headed for a collision
course between two very incompatible worlds. Today we dive into
Financial Freedom Report #75, with news from China's monetary
expansion, new potentially authoritarian measures from Bukele,
demonstrations of technological oppression, and powerful new
tools for technological freedom. We are in a race, and there
still remains a critical question for which path wins in the end.
Find out in today's episode with a long guy's take to follow.
