Folks: let’s get rid of cash, so inconvenient!
Banks: we agree wholeheartedly.
I mean, you don’t really have to buy food if the state disagrees with your political stance, do you?

@aral I hate to agree with right-wing populists there.
I just try to remember that trve comunisvm assumes no money existing.
@aral Or even some foreign state, if you're trying to use a card linked to an American payment network.
@aral My brother has been messaging you for a while and no one cares
@GazaPalestine Hi Ahmed, we have over 300 people verified on Gaza Verified. We do care. But we can’t personally engage with over 300 people a day. We are a tiny group of volunteers.
@aral Brother, I'm not asking for an investigation. I was already verified on another account, and my account was suspended because of an old mention. I simply want my account reviewed and restored. I understand this very well.
@GazaPalestine Hi Ahmed, as far as I can see from https://gaza-verified.org/donate/, you’re receiving ~ $675.71/week. And apparently you’ve been emailing donors whose email addresses you’ve scraped from Chuffed twice a week. I’m not sure we can get involved here if your account was suspended for violating the rules of the server you are on. It looks like you’re getting support.

@GazaPalestine Ahmed, I see your message. @casey, is this a case we’re aware of? Do you know where things stand on it?
@aral
I hope he wins. Of course entrenched interests are going to come hard at him.
Along with Piketty, he taught me that economic analysis was a legit way to figure the world out. I'd grown up with American economists, who were universally bullshit artists. Krugman excepted.
