Politicians gotta exploit everything possible for votes. As Ringo Starr once said: everything the government touches turns to shit. This is why. Even the best of places get used and abused by disingenuous politicians for political gain. Look at how Kokesh has handledd his delegation so far. It’s amazing that self-proclaimed libertarians want to trust him with centralized control distributing trillions of dollars of resources.

What on earth are you talking about? Does Adam not own his wallet? Am I missing something?
Adam got his power "granted" to him through delegation. Someone with lots of power sitting around loaned some of his power to Adam through delegation. They do this because they think certain individuals will pull more people into the Steemit platform. A lot of times what you see happening is these individuals start making shit post, stupid memes or other postings that lack any sense of quality, information or value to them then they upvotes themselves to make hundreds of dollars. I am not saying everything Adam has done qualifies as not having any redeeming value to the amount of money taken out because that would be a lie. His post usually are a exception rather then the rule, meaning a fair share lack the quality to earn hundreds of dollars. It would be nice to see him deciphering the difference and allocating his upvote accordingly, like say shit post upvotes to less than fifty bucks to be fair to everyone who spends hours writing quality stuff, earns less because they don't have a big donated delegation then has to turn around and get less in the long run from the rewards pool because it's a big pot of money distributed to everyone and if someone is taking huge chunks from it all the time that's less for everyone else's share.
Do you understand how delegations work, Ben? Of course he owns his own wallet. Are “the American people” to trust an individual and his inner circle of “custodians” to decide where billions and billions of dollars will be allocated, who upvotes his own single sentence comments at 100 dollars? Who cannot pay companies he utilized for services rendered? That’s the point. Sure, the wallet is his, and @jamesc was also unhappy about some of his choices. Many of us don’t wish to put centralized decision making power in his hands. Get it?
And moreover, you’re being disingenuous about his intent to “distribute resources.” You are well-aware that his platform is to dissolve the federal government. Why must you continue to troll? Not enough hugs?
When someone post a article that says make a account, write something about the LP party, yourself in the LP or about the Freedom campaign and I will make sure you get paid hundreds for it it is no different then any of the politicians he complains about that are on the take, will give favors to those who benefit them or will elevate those in agreement with them by using financial means. When you do stuff like that it's no longer a fair system, it's a corrupt system that people can't fight back with because they don't have the financial means to do so. It's capitalism at it's worse.
Except, Adam owns these resources. And this is precisely what we’ve been tasked with doing to bring more people to Steemit.
A very good answer 😎
@promo-steem
No Adam does not own the resources. Who ever gave him the delegation does and that person can take it back anytime they want. So you see Adam operates exactly like the government, he takes someone else's "resources" and exploits them for his own benefit against all the other people here on Steemit.
He has directly stated his plans several times over. The junior high school tier insults are unnecessary.
Politicians steal the resources of the people. These resources in Adam’s wallet belong to him.
Please, tell me, how much control over Adam’s resources do you think you should have? Because that’s communism.
We are talking about his platform, correct?
Will he and his “custodians” not be allocating and liquidating resources of the state?
Jumping to “muh communism” is pretty damn sophomoric. Adam cannot be trusted to do this any more than any other politician. His individual use of resources already delegated to him demonstrate this. i.e. erratically upvoting shitpost comments calling fellow activists “cowards,” troubles paying companies for services rendered, etc. He behaves as a child and wants to centrally oversee allocation of billions and billions of dollars. This is why voluntaryists don’t look to non-propertarian centralized leadership, or majority votes, but property, and the market.
Nobody here said anything about controlling Adam’s wallet. Don’t be silly.
They will be liquidating, not allocating.
And, speaking of acting like a child, I noticed that you post on every single thing he upvotes but none of us seem to have any interest in your posts. Strange.
Liquidating them centrally, hey? Lol. If I were looking for you to care about my posts, Ben, I would be in a very sad state of affairs indeed.
