        The majority of any currency is mostly digital. Numbers in a computer people use phones/cards to transfer. But China bad.

        US credit scores are run by multiple private entities, who get their data stolen due to lax security. They are the basis to determine whether people get housing and in increasing cases, jobs. For most of the US it’s encouraged for private corporations to rule their lives, as long as they are unaccountable. But China bad.

        That white dude in the video has literally the worst haircut I’ve ever seen

        I feel like this is just a classic combover. Balding man is too afraid to embrace being bald so he tries to pretend he's still got plenty of hair.
