      I just want to add to this in case you weren’t aware (I certainly wasn’t until a few years ago), a Vietnamese revolutionary was supposed to receive the honors along with him and he basically said if he’s going to share it with Kissinger then he doesn’t want it. Awesome guy honestly.

    Dismantling the Empire but then wanting to do this ticky tacky shit is so contemptuously ridiculous. They should rename the USA to Eagleland or whatever it was in Earthbound next

    in case you were wondering

    H.R.1161 - Aligning SEC Regulations for the World Bank’s International Development Association Act

    This bill exempts from securities regulations any securities issued by the International Development Association of the World Bank. The association provides loans and grants to developing countries. The Securities and Exchange Commission may suspend this exemption at any time.

    Introduced to the house in 2023 by the House Financial Services committee, not yet passed. Sounds like an excellent financial opportunity for those in the know and with connections to the World Bank. You know. Like. For example. Members of the House Financial Services committee.
