The trigger for this week's cartoon was the story about a "Cryptocurrency Bill of Rights" being introduced as legislation in the Michigan House:
State Representative Bryan Posthumus (R-Rockford) said that bill and others would help Michigan attract the crypto industry to the state.
“Cryptocurrency is here to stay. I believe that 20 years from now, it’ll be the foundation of our entire financial industry. And Michigan can be a national leader in that effort,” Posthumus said.
Yeah, okay, fine. Go ahead, I suppose. But is anybody else bothered by politicians in full embrace of technologies they know very little about while they are summarily rejecting and defunding the scientific and education communities?
