AUSTIN, TEXAS: Rapper Post Malone and well-known Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan recently had a conversation on the current state of affairs in Canada and how the government has acted improperly toward those who were opposing mandatory covid vaccines.
Joe Rogan and Post Malone had an insightful conversation on a range of national issues on the 'Joe Rogan Experience' episode that aired on August 8.
Joe Rogan expressed his concerns on 'JRE' podcast
During the 'JRE' podcast, Malone asked Rogan that “Would you ever consider living in another country?” to which he answered, “I would have said Canada up until recently. That Canada’s f**king falling apart.”
He further added, “All the s**t that they did during COVID was just the total wrong direction. They froze people’s bank accounts that donated money to the convoy ... These people that were protesting COVID vaccine mandates and the lockdowns, and they f**king went after the people that donated, which is crazy.”
The duo also discussed the war between Russia and Ukraine and showed their concerns.
“This is a time to be very alarmed because it just seems people are way too casual about wanting this [war] to happen and wanting us to fund this and beat Russia and this whole craziness of war,” Rogan said.
‘No f***ing way’
Throughout the episode, the discussion switched to possible difficulties that may arise if the United States adopted central bank digital currency (CBDC).
Notably, the ongoing disagreement between Joe and the rapper Post Malone occurs at the same time when questions concerning CBDC are becoming more prevalent in the discourse surrounding American presidential elections.
Rogan's position on CBDCs was quite clear, highlighting, “No f**king way. No way. That’s what I think. I think that’s checkmate. That’s game over.”
He expanded on the idea that a governing agency might tie a CBDC to a person's "social media credit score".
Rogan also mentioned that if a system like this were put in place for the sake of helping society, it may be able to track your internet habits.
Notably, Malone raised issues with the American financial system, pointing out that the CBDC insurance only covers up to $250,000 in bank accounts.
Moreover, he argued that the American government had undue control over the financial affairs of regular people. He also said that they could be able to stop financing for anyone at any time.
