I'm from Oregon.

I've not been to India but was in Vietnam. Articles like this could use the #InformationWar tag, in case you don't know. Is it true that IBM helped Hitler? I upvoted this post because I love history. I wonder why the silk road wasn't straight. I guess because of a variety of reasons, the stops along the way. And maybe they had to go around mountains, rivers, lakes, etc. I don't like IMF.

Free Markets

Does America have more free markets than other countries? I think so. But the United States probably only has 20% free markets or much less. That is still a lot more than other countries. But 20% because of the taxes, regulations, etc. Big government reduces the potential of free markets. Also, technocracy, corporatism, monopolies, etc, attacks free markets. Monopolies were rising a lot in America in the 1800's for example. Smaller businessmen who spoke up about that threat were murdered, etc.

I love Bitcoin. I hope for the best for India. Bill Gates had vaccines in India which murdered like millions of people.
