Last Notes npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Wired headphones here all the way and when I put my phone in my pocket I make sure airplane is on. Our bodies actually don't have any way of feeling or sensing that level of radiation. So even though we don't feel anything, it's still there. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I really love this. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState It looks like OpnState will be making an appearance at Bitcoin Las Vegas 2026 as a panel speaker. Thank you to the nostr contact who made this possible. I'm not gonna hold any punches against surveillance and regulatory capture of bitcoin. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Re-hypothecation and leverage, essentially killed gold true price discovery. Any kind of centralization, especially in custody, is horrible and despicable. Any Bitcoiner who isn't happy with Bitcoin's performance and looks for yield should really consider what they're exposing the larger Bitcoin infrastructure and ecosystem to. If you're not happy with Bitcoin's performance and you deposit it in some kind of arrangement which will leverage or re-hypothecate, you're actually encouraging price suppression for Bitcoin. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy. You're not happy with the performance, so you deposit somewhere for yield, which then further suppresses the price. Look, I should be thankful because the Bitcoin I own I control, and this allows me to buy more at cheaper prices. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState It looks like OpnState will be making an appearance at Bitcoin Las Vegas 2026 as panel speaker! Happy to connect with anyone who will be in the area. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState He should also admire people who refuse to use a centralized social media platform like X. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Just want to say I really enjoy the news posts here on Noster. You're doing the entire ecosystem a favor. Thank you. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I have to start using you guys. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState By the way, this wasn't a jab against you. I only wanted to bring it up because you chose Fountain as your platform for value for value and I know you have high standards on decentralization and freedom tech. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I strongly protest. My livelihood is not directly dependent on the perceived or future pecuniary gains from Bitcoin. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState That's the thing, isn't it? To me there's no difference between big tech with a closed sourced app and small tech with the closed sourced app. Is there a way for me to use fountain on the web and still make payments? That might be a good compromise. What I do know is I'm not installing a closed source app on my device unless I absolutely have to. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState That my point. They act like freedom tech but it's closed source. For all I know they are collecting listening stats of bitcoiners and.... Still going to use AntennaPod sorry @nprofile…0aw6 npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Was he talking about the crypto asset reporting framework? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState @nprofile…0aw6 @nprofile…am06 is fountain open source yet? I want to use it and support my favorite podcasts, but won't trust private code with my listening history, etc. I will only use an app that's on F-Droid for podcasts. If not, wen? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Did you film this its hilarious npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState @nprofile…9ess based on available evidence, what probability do you ascribe to Marty having read the book "the mandibles"? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState You should put a website link or some way for us to click when you do these posts. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I'm going to be speaking at a few conferences about the crypto asset reporting framework from the OEcd. It doesn't matter if transactions are encrypted, if the service providers collect your data and transmit it automatically. Happy to post about this and engage, etc. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState How many instances of "goyim" or "g0y" in the Epstein files? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Looking at what's happening in the UK now, I'm really happy-nosters here. I don't give a shit about popularity. I'm not trying to show a product or service. I'm just here to chat. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I really like what you've been doing with your podcast, Peter. If you want to talk to somebody who worked for a government for seven years doing policy and legislation, let me know. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState First of all, thank you. Followed. Do you have this persons npub? Are they on nostr? Sorry, I don't have a Twitter account. Freedom tech all the way. Maybe he has a signal id? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState More info, sorry only recently came back to nostr npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState On my playlist! npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState But do you understand? - be the change you want to see in others npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Why does it matter who did the art or the color of their skin? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Thanks for this, I'm going to use this quote in a speech. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState We built a house in El Salvador and have a large area we would like to have a mural on. Any artists in El Salvador are going to be in El Salvador in the next six months. Interested? or suggestions on somebody you know? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState They should give some credit to you too. Nothing worse than someone copying code without attribution. I was at argentina at de connect and saw nym there. Was that you? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState They (coinbase) were consulted on for the crypto asset reporting framework by the OECD and rest assured that that framework is going forward. The US is slated to implement it with registration starting next year. It's the worst piece of shit invasion of privacy you've ever seen. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState So I'm obviously using Noster, but now more dedicated than ever to run my own relay. It's actually much worse, and most countries, including the US, are looking at age verification for digital services. It's definitely not going away, and I don't think any amount of voting can change this. They need to have full digital Gulag in place before 2030's next virus scam. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState That's right, you're talking about CARF, the crypto asset reporting framework. The EU and other countries are implementing it, which is ultimately meant to track every single crypto transfer that is being done on behalf of someone else. This is where people finally realized that the power of peer to peer is what will keep us free. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Send in lapdog trump! npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Pure genius. An operating system just to run a node is overkill and carves out anyone who wants touse their system for other things. This is the way npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Wow npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I'm sure the government will say the solution is a stronger and better digital ID infrastructure that will prevent hacks. Its all for your safety. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Tagging for later listening. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I did AML legislation for a major gov. I am happy to help your project with free advice on how to avoid virtual asset regulatory pitfalls. Just pm me here. You guys need to anonymize your codebase development as much as possible. Web hosting, everything. The regulatory capture of bitcoin is a real threat to freedom of transaction. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState You cant post monkeybut pics on bcash? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Will be Intel Zonte on the 23rd and 24th of Oct. (This week). Pm me if you want to meet up npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState People don't participate in their political system enough. They think that voting once every four years is sufficient and all they have to do. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Yes, I know that's the case, but Banks stopped accepting transfers from Chivo. The word went around as well that Chivo no longer works or will no longer be supported. And so people just stopped accepting Bitcoin using Chivo. And ATM is fine if you're withdrawing $100, but I'm talking to mounts that are slightly bigger here. My builder used to be able to go to his bank and transfer from his cheaper, but can't do that anymore without a substantial fee. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Just my observation on El Salvador and the IMF. I'm currently in process of building the home in El Salvador. Though many will say that the IMF loan and the removal of Chivo and the revisions to the Bitcoin law have done very little to stop Bitcoin adoption there, I can state from firsthand experience that ever since Chivo stopped operating, it's been much more difficult for me to purchase and do business in El Salvador with bitcoin. Chivo was a resounding success that just wasn't given enough time. I could literally go to anybody, a carpenter, a contractor, the windows guy and ask him if I could send him Bitcoin and they would all say yes because they had access to Chivo. Yes, there are other apps like Blink, but the fees are astounding when individuals have to withdraw cash at a local bank. One local app that my contractor uses, for example, charges 1% to convert to USD and then there's a 1 to 2% fee when withdrawing at the local bank. I'm building a house, so I regularly send them, say, $5,000, which translates to quite a bit of fees. Just wanted to state firsthand how I think the IMF did in fact Dramatically slow down mainstream Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador. Still a great country. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Us is next sir. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState The fact that we're not even allowed to study any kind of opposing views to me is a giant red flag for this. You don't censor because something is true. You censor because it's false and there's something you want to hide. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Everything just falls apart once you have digital identity and your requirement to use it to access the internet. I say everything, but it's only everything digital. There's going to be a huge movement back to analogue. Learn to use a ham redio. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState You know, I love this,, but you lose a lot of points at the end with that x link. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState You can't have both nostr and twitter. you need to go cold turkey. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Please tell me you are lying... npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Please tell me this is an AI fake video. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState This is from an old Tucker Carlson I think. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState "I will comply on proof of claim. State the criminal offence and cite the legislation so I may review your claim" npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I am interested but really need some hands on reviews to buy one. I have bought too many Linux phones that turn out not delivering. Latest was the z23 from volaphone. Also, Linux phones don't run Linux on bare metal, they have a android base that talks to the firmware under the Linux os (Ubuntu touch does this) Is this different? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I love this comment. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState You could probably cut the staff by half. What I mean by this is all of the administrative functions that are taking place can be replaced by automated systems. These systems would need to be built so it's not something you could do by using existing software solutions. in my government for an entire country Looking around me, I'm sure half of the staff could be let go. And systems would be more efficient. I think the main gain here would be the opportunity for more transparency. That would be the real benefit. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Amazing, how do we utilize the nostr functionality? Is it imbeded in the new version? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState This is excellent thanks!! npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState You guys want to talk to someone who works for a government and has had enough? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState So countries are assessed regularly for technical and effectiveness implementation of the anti-money laundering standards. Yet, the standards themselves are never assessed for effectiveness at preventing or stopping anti-money laundering itself. So you have standards that are created by a very small group of people because they think it will stop anti-money laundering that are being forced on all countries around the world. Love the article, Love the Initiative. Unfortunately, it's just going to hit a brick wall when it comes to those making the decisions. All you have to do is read the President's Working Group report on digital asset services that came out a month ago To see the United States is going full-on anti-money laundering standard compliant. the right to lawfully hold your own assets in a wallet.... That just means you're only allowed to do it if it's lawful and it's only lawful if it's anti-money laundering compliant. More anti-money laundering is coming to the United States very shortly. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Oooh Podverse.... Okay will check Everyone using and praising fountain here don't realize itsnot open source... Glad there are alternatives. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Is it open source? I use antennapod and it works great, open source, but doesn't do video. Only flaw npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Okay just curious: why would a free person need a licence to use a ham radio? I get there are restricted frequencies for special use. The whole licence idea seems a little restrictive to me, a little authoritarian. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Wait, what? Android won't allow sideloading???? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I have worse to report.... Although I understand Google play store is now allowing self custodial wallets (they excluded those from their decision and backtracked?) The FATF standards bring into scope entities who "control or manage applications which allow users to hold virtual assets". Even if you haven't seen much evidence of this yet, it's there waiting to be enforced. Its coming. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I'm grateful for it. It's the reason I'm here on Noster. And the reason I push back on authority, because I've seen the corruption through COVID. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Actions speak louder than words. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Oh, one more thing. I have spent numerous hours watching flat earth videos. In fact, I was so engrossed in trying to understand the reasoning and the logic that I've taken probably an entire year looking at very little else on YouTube. Essentially, I see the entire movement as a new type of Luddite Push back against a scientific world that's become overly complicated and too difficult to understand. The arguments for flat earth are usually simplistic, observable arguments that bend logic a certain way that most people won't be able to detect it. Look, I don't deny that the moon landings can be fake. It doesn't mean that everything we've learnt about the shape of the earth is also fake. I highly doubt that NASA was controlling the world back in ancient Greek times. I'll get off my soapbox since I've had this discussion many, many, many, many, many times without any kind of impact whatsoever. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Thank you, I appreciate the thoughtful post, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. However, in the numerous conversations that I've had with people who believe that the Earth is flat, it doesn't matter what kind of evidence you present. There's always a snapback to the undeniable claim that NASA is the root cause of essentially all evil in the world. Let's take for example Flight LA809 from Santia Gochili to Sydney, Australia. It departs Santiago at 1.45 am. I think it's a weekly flight. This is a real flight, real people take this flight. You can track this flight in real time in flight tracking software, or you can even choose to take the flight yourself. Now look at the flat earth map and wonder why it takes only 15 hours to go from Chile to Australia. If the earth really truly was flat as described by those maps, you would have to go over the Arctic. But then again, I don't expect this to change your mind, since it's never changed the mind of anybody who believes the Earth is flat that ive spoken to. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Still stand by this post #nevent1q…rkeu npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I see your point. I think the issue here, at least for me, is what Israel is doing in Gaza. Though Israel is not "the Jews", it is seen as an extension of Jewish faith. Its direct evidence happening right before our eyes of some sick behavior. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I guess technically supporting the starving of women and children in Gaza isn't war, so technically correct... I guess? Peaceful genocide npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Lots of truth there npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState And trump is turning a blind eye. Governments are rigged. Representative democracies have been corrupted. The system no longer works, we need direct democracies. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Sadly this likely to get worse. The EU and Canada are falling prey to global control grids. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Wait, are you turning flat earther? Please don't say this is a flat earth video... npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Well done. As you can see, it's not that hard. You may get pushed back and that is the hardest part of a freedom of information request. It's knowing what to ask for and how to ask for it. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I totally agree, however, society is now basically at a point where citizens are wards of the state. They want to be protected from any kind of risk and refuse to take ownership of their own decisions. In that kind of an environment, you need to have some kind of regulator to step in and punish the baddies like Daddy would do. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState I'm listening to it right now. Great show so far. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState CARF will greatly add to this globally and in the us I believe. All exchange transactions will be reported on a yearly basis to the government. Buying some Bitcoin on Coinbase or any other exchange in the US?, the government will know about it. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Love this! Open source too npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Global governance wins every time. Question is, why is bukele pretending otherwise npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Is this real? So hard to say now npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState If you're careful about what is said you can still speak up.

Why do countries tax in the first place? npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Well, just been paged into this conversation, so don't really know the context.

It's a deeply entrenched system. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState Dis-incentivized by incentives So I wanted to take a moment to talk about the actual performance of civil servants within my jurisdiction. There's always been the appearance that civil servants are lazy, cozy and know that they can't get fired So they do very little work and do it very, very slowly. I can't speak for all governments, but certainly for mine. This appears to have some truth in it. I came from a large corporate bank which had very stringent goal setting and performance management metrics. We would have daily meetings to outline the tasks of the day and ensure that the tasks of the previous day were performed. In contrast, in my current role, I've never had a performance feedback meeting with my direct manager. I've asked for it. I want to know how I can improve and become better at my role. And so I have asked multiple times for constructive feedback. It's who I am. It's part of my ethos. I know everyone can improve and I wanted to know how I could do a better job. Not only was I simply brushed off as an anomaly and didn't get these sorts of meetings, But was actively told that there's no real incentive to improve within a civil service role Because pay is not linked to performance. When civil servants get a raise, all civil servants get a raise within the department or ministry. It doesn't matter whether they performed or not. This is a very perverse incentive structure. So how can this be changed? Well, for one, civil servants should get a bonus directly linked to their jurisdictions economy. If companies in their state or sector, do well, they should do well. If the economy grows and they are able to implement Policies that help the population, if GDP went up during the year, they should be rewarded in some way. The flip side would apply, of course. If GDP per capita does not go up, they should not be rewarded. If the number of new businesses and the revenue from those businesses do not go up on a net basis, they should not be rewarded. By tying incentives directly to the population, their policies influence, We would ensure their actions are aligned with the welfare of the general population. I can tell you that is not the case right now. npub1v6z4srj4ktch4f3ee9ze2zp7ml4n9rshttmntpamfed0nvpev5fszzuq49 OpnState You're the only one who is willing to discuss the Zionist issue.
