@harryprayiv reading your 4 line masturbatory rebuttal to mine, you don’t seem to understand the first thing about TCP/IP.  I don’t have the time to teach you the 7 layers of networking  And no the web3 doesn’t offer anything else but #crypto #grifters.  Period full stop.

@ChrisMayLA6 I'm glad to say the supermarket and motorway highway robbery for parking using number plate recognition hasn't reached Spain yet. Because it seems like a *total* scam. I mean Nigerian prince, Microsoft Windows "support" from a call centre in India, lend me some money to buy Bitcoin kind of scam.

As Novak reports, the site is full of scammers who run "pig-butchering" schemes. They see the gullible elderly folks gathered on Truth Social as pigs to be butchered, to be relieved of life savings via cryptocurrency scams those being scammed don't even understand.

One person filing a complaint wrote,

"I know what idiots we are. ...The more I write the dumber I feel that I would even fall for something like this."

And speaking of how some us apparently just love being scammed and grifted by the likes of Trump as we swallow his lies, Matt Novak used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain numerous complaints the federal government has received from people who spent time on Trump's Truth Social site…

Only to be scammed out of their life savings.

@randahl Right wing has governed for ~ 38 of the last 50 years, cutting education spending at every opportunity & selling off school grounds to property #grifters.

In other news, the majority of Britons prefer to read the tabloid press that only recently stopped printing full page photos of half-naked young women on page 3.

Couple this with weaponised Facebook ads and we have the return of fascism.

The prgm has only a few rules: Lawmakers cannot be repaid for principal or interest on their mortgages, they can only get reimbursement for days they’re actually working in or flying to DC, & they can’t ask for more than their actual expenses. They’re also subject to daily spending caps determined by the GSA. They are “strongly encouraged,” but not required, to keep #records of their #expenses, acc/to guidance issued by the #House Cmte on Admin.

But critics argue that its reliance on the #HonorSystem [esp given #HouseRepublicans dearth of honor] & lack of #transparent record-keeping makes it ripe for abuse.

The reimbursement scheme’s lack of receipt requirements is a “ridiculous loophole … Clearly it becomes very difficult to tell whether or not it’s a legitimate payment & whether it’s proper,” said Craig Holman, a lobbyist for the good govt group Public Citizen.
