Many in areas like this seem to think the Great Reset is detrimental. I'd like to explain why this is the wrong sentiment to have.

You seem to have completely misunderstood what the great reset is all about. You seem to think it's there to offer you freedom, but I think it's all about taking the little bit of freedom to have a choice in your life you have left away from you. Of course our current system is sub-optimal - the example you cite of not being able to buy certain things for cash are a testament to how much control we have already relinquished. But how is it an improvement if the rest of the little freedoms we still have are taken away? The model of that society is modern day China - except it will be much more restrictive, down to what foods you are allowed to eat and how much energy you are allowed to consume.

Again, I'm not advocating their preference. What I think would be optimal is to take a "Reset" approach, similar to NESARA/GESARA, and debut digital currencies to the proles. I'm not saying that what Schwab has planned is a good idea. Instead, what I'm trying to suggest is that a sort of "Reset" is inevitable anyway, considering the gargantuan plummet the USD will inevitably see, as per its failing design.

Maybe I didn't make it clear enough in the beginning: the point of this post was to reassure what appears to be misguided normies. Many of them are falling for demoralization tactics, which utilize FUD tactics, which are designed to scare them away from cryptocurrencies, which are designed to obscure their ability to comprehend the very thing you've pointed out - that we've already relinquished significant ground in terms of financial freedoms - We already have no privacy; we already have no financial freedoms. The problem with all of this is that too many are scared to death of the inevitable alternative: a wider array of digital assets as well as the expungement of the current USD, at least as the world reserve currency.

I never meant to say that all of the things that Schwab and his goons are vying for are beneficial to any of us. Instead, I'm trying to get people to see that it matters who controls the financial levers. If /ourguys/ can control the financial levers and adequately decentralize what's tainted through centralization, we can do a complete 180 and, instead of dismay and significant restrictions of liberty, we can fix what's broken, innovate the financial world such that it reflects the necessary requisites for mending our global economic woes and we can return the power of personal finance to individuals.

I do realize that I never quite got to the point and that was a mistake. Thanks for pointing this out.
