Almost every corporate job requires the company to make workers usurers by that metric. You need a bank account to earn your salary. The only way out is creating alternative ways of payment that do not require banks but are just as judicially sound. And that is the issue; banks will never let that happen.

That's the problem, they have effectively integrated banks into every facet of society deliberately. Holding houses would be a much better option, and you would be able to cut out the middle man usurer which sole purpose, even if unintentional is to devalue money, artificially create doldrums and steal your promissory notes that somehow people are okay with.

A president, probably a dictator, needs to stop foot and slowly depreciate federal reserve notes and bring back independent treasuries, holding houses and silver certificates backed by redeemable assets.

Yes, we won't have enough money to impose our will on other countries or start wars but who cares.

Digital currency is fine, if it is not held or controlled by a bank, whether the central bank or commercial banks.
