<p>Yes. Amassing obscene wealth is anti-social and immoral. Hording wealth is an action. Anyone with much over $10,000,000 can be assumed to be evil on some level. You don't earn that kind of money, you exploit others for it.</p>

<p>That explanation makes no sense, obviously. Human beings have been human beings long before things even cost money and will exist long after money is gone.<p>I'm happy to accept the idea that people are simply brainwashed into thinking they need money and that is the root of their problems, but needing money is not a problem for a human being in and of itself.<p>Edit: but I think you said it yourself, you seem to think that you're forced to live a certain lifestyle, that's not true. You want to live a certain lifestyle and that lifestyle takes a lot of money.</p>

<p>The problem is that if anyone at any time feels like they're just annoyed with you or don't want you around anymore they can make an accusation, completely unfounded, that will destroy your life.<p>The problem is is that a lot of guys walking around that haven't had it happen to them assume it hasn't happened to them because they've been doing everything right when really you've just been lucky so far.</p>

<p>Bitcoin (BTC) doesn't work at all for payments less than $100 (as by design) and so adding a second layer on to that only makes it MORE expensive, not less.<p>Like saying I can't afford my credit card fees so I'll just take a cash advance on my credit card, put the money in a bank account, then use a debit card for transactions. It makes no sense and would only work to trick a moron that doensn't understand how the system works.<p>Bitcoin (now called Bitcoin Cash) solved the problem 10+ years ago, then Blockstream hijacked the BTC GitHub repo and injected the SegWit and RBF code that killed the project.</p>

<p>Why not just use Bitcoin Cash? Bitcoin was designed to compete directly with Visa's transaction rate and still can. I don't get why people don't simple use what works?</p>

<p>It took nearly a whole generation for young men to see what was going on but I think a lot of figured it out!<p>I know I'm doing my part to tell every young man I know to not have kids in the state of Ohio until they fix this evil and broken system.<p>My son has told me something similar, that he would never get married or have kids just because he's seen how stupid this whole thing is but I'm sure there's a lot like him :-(</p>

<p>And I am unaware of what, "regs" you are trying to address, but the current situation is clear, without trying to change the subject:<p>Domestic judges are elected positions that can and do solicit campaign contributions from local attorneys.<p>At the end of that campaign extra funds can and do end up in the pockets of the judges themselves. This is equivalent to lawyers directly paying off the judges.<p>The way an attorney described it to me is that every attorney worth their salt immediately starts making the maximum contributions to every judge on the bench every 4 years.<p>What "regs" do you need to show this? My guess though is that you do know the truth, you are an attorney and your comment is just trying to distract from what's going on.</p>

<p>The US domestic (family) court system, in Ohio in particular, has become functionally corrupt for two reasons.<p>1) Judges are elected and can now receive unlimited campaign contributions, vacations and gifts, the vast majority coming from the lawyers and "family" law firms they are ment to be judging objectively.<p>2) All records are "sealed" so judges and courts have zero accountability to anyone other than their own club of lawyers (bar association) and of course the very people that paid to to get them where they are.<p>The Ohio bar association has co-opted the domestic court system and made it their own $billion/year revenue generating stream. The judges profit from kickbacks in the form of campaign contributions every four years from the very attorneys they are supposed to be judging against
 This is not just the appearance of corruption it is a system built on corruption.<p>This means the judges only incentive is to judge in a way that is most in line with <i>their</i> best interest. In practice this means that what little data we have shows that almost every time the judge finds in favor of whichever attorney donated the most money to his campaign and is why unlike states around it that have 50/50 default custody Ohio remains 100% default custody to the mother in over 85% of divorces and with sole custody to just one parent.<p>This has been going on for the better part of 20 years and continues for one simple reason despite it being a horrible in every way, the judges are getting paid off.<p>I'm blowing the whistle, working on websites, printing signs, sending out mailers, court watching and taking notes on these corrupt attorneys, doing anything and everything I can to get the word out that the Franklin County Ohio domestic court system in particularly has been corrupted by a small group of judges, mainly Judge James Brown. I'm doing everything I can to get the word out about these evil and corrupt judges, the biggest hurdle seems to be how much money they are making and that people believe that once a lawyer gets rich and powerful enough they're uncorruptible, which is the exact opposite of the truth. The judges are the ones running a corrupt, pay to play, system of kickbacks with themselves at the top. The judges are the top lawyers and the lawyers are pieces of shit.<p>They are literally horse trading children like they're chips at the casino and what they've done to a generation of young people and millennial fathers is pure evil.</p>
