Rumble is working on an alternative payment system that can challenge PayPal, Apple and other credit platforms and payment systems. I can't wait.

So, which brainchild thought it is a good business plan to thoroughly p*ss off their customer base and shrink it drastically by creating a pervasive and seething level of distrust? This new business model is in operation on Facebook Twitter, YouTube, etc. Amazing. But heck what do I know? I only had a few business and economic courses way back in college. It wasn't even a prestigious college either; it was a junior college where I got my A. A. degree. Gosh, it wasn't Harvard, Yale, etc. Obviously my observations and opinions stem from a defective education.

Candace Owens suggested https://glorifi.com/ I had never heard of it until the suggestion, but it looks promising. Their tagline "Put your money where your values are". I like that.

I'm going to wait for Rumble. Dan Bongino is a part owner and I have faith in him, his character and his integrity. Dave Rubin is also a part owner and I like him so much. I have had his locals subscription now for close on 2 years. He's a gem.

There is also GabPay (from the people who gave us the social media site Gab). I have used it once and it seemed fine.

For P2P payments with zero fees, have a look at the ZELLE app.

Zelle is through Chase. Another globalist entity.

They ALL are. The challenge is to identify, then deal with those who are least compromised. There is no ideal solution in this era, only the least of the evils, IMO.

Zelle only safe for people you know and trust. And at least one person has to belong to an approved/participating bank.

I use Zelle all the time to transfer money to my kids when necessary. Once I got a customer payment that way and it was seamless, instant and easy. Also no credit card fees!

Be careful before joining any service. Now there is ESG Compliance and they are all trying to get an "atta-boy" from the PTB. Move money to local banks (definitely away from the big ones!) and consider small credit unions - but check their website pages for the ESG virtue signals. You'll be shocked at what is hiding in plain sight.

Gab already has an alternate payment system in place for their 'parallel economy'

Yes! I mentioned that before seeing your comment.

I have to think these uber-woke idiots believe there are exponentially more wokesters like themselves out there than there actually are. They always seem shocked and unprepared for the blowback they get.

I don't think there are many of them but they are strategically place. They control large businesses, major professional organizations, universities, Big Tech. They are able to exert influence and control far beyond their physical numbers.

We have a big community/junior college system in California that allows a person to do the first two years of college very cheaply, and then you could either get an AA or move up to a larger university for the final two years and for your major. Saves a ton of money that way! My son did that, and after his community college two years he went to UC Davis for his science course major. He said the teachers and education he got at the community college were far superior to what he got at the UC, where highly paid and much vaunted professors didn't even bother to teach their own classes, relying instead on teaching assistants. It was a major ripoff of epic proportions. Important math classes (as well as other courses) were held in big theaters with as many as 700 students in one case. In community/junior college there were a maximum of about 30 students in a classroom. This makes a huge difference because there can be interaction with the teacher and other students.

Yeah, I've heard of university classes with +000's of students. That's not learning or teaching; that's just a money grab by the institution.

I remember our Business Math teacher talking to a student one day. The student was having difficulty in grasping something (I don't remember what) and the teacher said "If you're having problems with this problem; this is probably the problem....".

I thought it was funny.....

Community college instructors don't have to publish. It's easy to get with them if you are having difficulty with a concept. They truly are there for the student, or they were when I was in classes.

Same in Florida. My son got his AA and then went to UCF. He had a great experience in junior (community) college with the average class size about 25. I got my AA from the local community college, then went back and got an RN at the same school (a 2 year degree). Finally got my BSN from UNF. My son transferred to UCF and went to university classes on campus. I don't think he had any of those auditorium size classes because he came in as a junior. I got my BS online. My daughter went to FL State. She was in the honors program so she didn't have any of those auditorium classes.

All those community colleges in Florida are now state colleges and offer 4 year degrees. Each one offers specific four year degrees in specialized areas. All credits are transferable to Florida universities. FCCJ (Florida Community College of Jacksonville) now FSCJ (Florida State College at Jacksonville) offers over 63 2 year certificate programs. Many of these are highly paid careers and all are valuable to the community.

I agree. Many of the instructors have real life experience. Certainly all those teaching the business courses did. Makes a difference. I went on to get my BSN eventually.
