    Bless you for responding sincerely, I appreciate that so much. I apologize if most of it has gone over my head but is there a movement to detach yourselves from the US?

    I have been so in my own head lately and focused on my field of study that I almost feel like an alien. What does this mean in practical terms, how much is my data available to entities I’ve never heard of, can you tell me in practical terms what that means for me/the average person?

        This is absolutely fascinating. Still a bit dense ngl lol. It will take me some time to work through, I feel bad I’m not giving your write-up the time it deserves. Wondering, what would be your ideal solution? You basically wrote an entire essay for me and I’m half in love with you now. Talk my ear off about it anytime

            Lots to unpack here. This is the big thing at the moment and I’d like to know what I can. Would you be willing to talk on the phone at some point? I’ve been going through something hard and I don’t want to cry about it, but I think it would help a lot if someone smart and passionate in a subject I know little about ranted at me. Not like a formal interview, just a talk

                Not a problem. I was just thinking you’re an interesting person with a fount of information. Nothing wrong with not wanting to chat with a stranger. I’ll be around if you change your mind but no pressure ofc.

                I’m in the US but I’ve been looking into educating myself more about financial institutions and that’s why I was so curious. Plus you sounded really well-informed and I’m very close to Canada geographically and thinking about moving there so I need to learn all I can before I make that decision.
