The title of this piece is kind of an attempt to just rip the bandage off quickly, because I imagine there are many people who will roll their eyes at it. However, it seems to me that the cash system itself is subject to enclosure: www.brokenhandsmedia.com/blog/2026/6/16/the-enclosure-of-cash

Update: it was.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label.
