A historical epic inspired by the true events that happened in The Kingdom of Dahomey, one of the most powerful states of Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries.
I struggle with how to figure out how to approach this.
On one hand, I want financial services to be considered effectively a civil right.
On the other hand, that makes it a kind of positive right (which doesn't solve the root of the problem), and leaves us with a situation where the government is given an avenue into financial regulation on a sale to sale basis, but we've done nothing to defund the collusion between banks and government.
I'm not saying DeSantis is wrong, these financial institutions need a punt to the skull for the evil shit they are doing. But, I'm just not sure how to optimally integrate that into our current system.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. A couple of positive rights ensuring access to the commons and public square is fine for now. Until you can get people to understand the distinction between positive and negative rights, there's no real downside to that.
The bankers gatekeep pretty well. There's a reason there's not a terrible lot of paypal alternatives with the same access. The government even sanctions their little club and has bailed out the banks in the past.
The one thing the alternatives don't seem to have is penetration into international markets.
Rippa, for instance, didn't want to use paypal, and got burned using them, because he has a large contingent of international buyers.
I'd say that his case gives everyone considering using them a million+ reasons not to-- but until the parallel economy goes international, there are few alternatives.
Is rippaverse allowed to go through yet or is gynocentrism still king?
Did you mean to make that funny? You'd think gynocentrism would be queen.
Women can't have men have the word King sweetie, it's now
appropriatedredistributed to the marginalised.Think again. We was woman kangs. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8093700/ Who needs words or historical accuracy or biology when we got Empowerment.
Honestly I thought that was going to be King l Lesbian Valkyrie from the new Thor movie but that works too

I guess that's why they "pour one out for da homies"

the moneychangers need to know their place.
under the heel of everyone else.
I'm just going to point out that Paypal operates outside of bounds of legality.
The bankers gatekeep pretty well. There's a reason there's not a terrible lot of paypal alternatives with the same access. The government even sanctions their little club and has bailed out the banks in the past.
