The most astonishing revelation regarding this poll is that at least 50% of ignorant Americans don't give a shit if CBDC is implemented.

I weep for our children's future.

Those are the "Biden" voters that support whatever State supplied psyop du jour is deployed against them.

To be expected.

We just need some more of this: “It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”

The reason people would rather be taken care of is bc society has intentionally provided access to numerous addictions such as social media, online gambling, video games etc. so that people don't care about the world around them.

Definitely. We’ve been anesthetized. I used to wonder how it is that those in the entertainment industry, including all the avenues you mentioned and more, are compensated so highly compared to the people who actually matter? Now, I look around and realize it was all part of the plan.

Ricky Gervais’ Oscar speech hit the nail on the head, and was only the tip of the iceberg. As long as our discomfort is monetizable on both sides of the argument the pony will be ridden until the bottom drops out.

The bottom line is, people today are so comfortably numb it’s going to take some serious shit to wake them up. Then the cycle begins anew.

Agreed! Society wants us addicted with numb minds- so much easier to control people.

Most likely, 50% of Americans had never HEARD of it before.

Watch and see how many people pay for things with their smartphones.

The idiots just think CBDC will just be an extension of that "convenience."

Have you seen how an “Amazon Fresh” grocery store works? They’re putting one near where I live. I am not easily gobsmacked by technology these days but this is off the charts.

I heard about it, but I have not seen one yet.

There was a recent story how a business traveler wanted to go into an Aldi's in Greenwich outside of London, and you needed an app on the smartphone to even enter.

It wasn’t until they started talking about phone based contact tracing and vaccine passports that I was overcome with a strong urge to smash my phone to bits. It’s pretty obvious why they want everyone tethered to their phone. Funny, when I tell my friends I will throw my phone away they look at me like I’m crazy. I see it as ahhhhh, I’m free! Just wait until they inject a capsule under the skin. It’s already happening in test markets in other countries.

The FBI rounded up the J6ers using geofencing. Google gladly gave up the info.

So even some poor schmuck walking his dog, or even walking to the nearest Metro stop, would have had their info in the FBI's hands.

Geo fencing was utilized to indicate election tampering in Dinesh D'Souza’s documentary, '2000 Mules.’ Funny how when it works against the deep state it’s summarily dismissed.
