    Protests are not going to work when they’re holding all our money,

    To my knowledge they haven’t frozen any critics’ assets, although I put nothing past them.

      They did it here in Canada to the trucker protestors. While everyone cheered it on, those of us with an eye for the future noted that what can be done to them can be done to us.

        They did it here in Canada to the trucker protestors.

        It reinforced the need for non-central-bank digital currencies.
        I never understood exactly what they did? Did they freeze all their assets, including stock portfolios, lines of credit, etc? I would have thought that would never happen in the US, but who knows. I wonder if they could freeze access to offshore accounts, e.g. Switzerland. I’m guessing Canadians affected by the freeze have moved a lot of their assets to offshore accounts now.
