The federal government’s debiting $80.5 million from New York City’s bank account suggests yes
The govt has always been able to garnish wages or sieze assets, yes, which is one of the intended upsides of a decentralized crypto currency (disregarding all of the downsides).
Donald Trump can do anything he wants. He always has, nobody has ever stopped him, and realistically, nobody ever will.
Not to say that one or two people haven’t tried.
Not hard enough.
Not soon enough.
So, this is a special situation, as it was a scheduled payment under a contract with NYC, relating to a migrant housing program. The payment was made just before everything got DOGEd, and when DOGE found out, it lost its collective shit and forced the payment to be reversed.
However, all you really need to make a debit out of a bank account is a routing number, account number, and proper authorization.
DOGE can apparently manufacture authorization out of thin air. And I bet it has everyone’s routing info and account information from everyone who has ever filed a return with the IRS and used Direct Deposit (or paid by check in the mail).
You’re glossing over the most important word:
The payment was made just before everything got DOGEd
It was a valid payment, not made in error. They decided after the fact that they didn’t like the valid payment, and reversed it. This likely involved fraud, because that’s not a valid reason to reverse a payment.
Not a valid reason according to who? The monkeys are running the circus now. There are no rules.
This likely involved fraud, because that’s not a valid reason to reverse a payment.
Well, DOGE would totally say “No U” and assert that the program was fraudulent in the first place, because they don’t agree with it politically.
So in summary start shoving money into the air duct like my great-great-grandfather used to do got it.
This. It gives me such anxiety.
Sounds like a good reason to move my money outside the reach of the US government. I’m sure that will help boost our economy and provide certainty.
Reverse UNO! I’ve got next to nothing in my account. Wring that rock!
Yes, next question.
How many cheeseburgers can Trump eat in 2 hours?
It’s measured in cheeseberders and sacarmuccis
We usually stop him after 1 hour little guy’s heart just doesn’t work like it use to. But 5 burgers an hour to answer your question.
5 burgers an hour
Pathetic. You elected that loser as a king? I bet Orban can eat 10 per hour!
No! He can totally eat 10 if we didn’t stop him! Besides Orban is a DEI hire. /s
They always could, they just never did it because they weren’t a bunch of moronic toddlers.
Not mine. It’s empty! Hahahahahaha 😥
he should do Musk’s
