The Employment Act of 1946 ch. 33, section 2, 60 Stat. 23, codified as 15 U.S.C. § 1021, is a United States federal law. Its main purpose was to lay the responsibility of economic stability of inflation and unemployment onto the federal government.[1] The act did not favor Keynesian policies; indeed, there were few policy consequences because as Stein (1969) notes, "The failure to pass a 'Full Employment Act' is as significant as the decision to pass the Employment Act."[2] The Act created the Council of Economic Advisors, attached to the White House, which provides analysis and recommendations, as well as the Joint Economic Committee. In practice the government has relied on automatic stabilizers and Federal Reserve policy for macroeconomic management, while the Council of Economic Advisers has focused primarily on microeconomic issues.[3]

I'm pretty sure everyone has been conditioned by the internet Meme of
"I am not a Lawyer", or IANAL. Particularly when giving advice.
This thread is simultaneously asking people to consider the law as a subject worth being informed on,
while breaking their conditioning to hate lawyers and lawyerly subjects. The natural reaction is
to feel that the subject is either above their pay grade, or has no viable alternative.
I think most of the smarter members are avoiding posting because,
they don't know what to do with the information, what it means,
or how to anticipate it's implications. The citing of ancient
Roman Law, just reinforces how ancient this stuff is
and makes it feel all the more inevitable.
This is a failure is similar to the paradox of having buyers remorse from too many choices.
So let's drill down to one specific point a little bit.
My complaint: TPTB do not know my name. Not from memory. Not in a personal way. I'm little more than a number to them. Computers are being used to collect all our faces, and names and match them up so that
and automated system can tell them who we are. This further dehumanizes us.
Your citing of the Birth Certificate as the foundation of financial ownership cements this.
I want my town mayor to know my frikkin name, the sound of my voice, and feel my concerns. But the only way TPTB will ever learn my name is if I become famous or comit a heinous crime. This incentivizes people acting out, and punishes those who quietly hold society up.
It's all so impersonal and dehumanizing. The digitized systems are accelerating the reduction of people, and their feelings, to meer statistics and trends. Adding money to the discusion does nothing to express my feelings. It just reminds me that I don't even have a place at the table.
Isn't it ironic that the best way to get someone interested in these Legal Traditions,
is to have someone famous start talking about them.
