Vatican-Backed Report Urges Global Debt Relief

🙏🏛 A new Vatican-backed report, authored by a commission of leading global economists and experts, calls for urgent global debt relief to address the escalating crises of development and climate change. The Jubilee Report highlights that 54 developing countries now spend over 10% of their tax revenues just on interest payments, diverting critical resources away from health, education, and climate resilience. The report urges systemic reforms, including fairer debt restructuring and a reimagining of global finance to serve people and the planet, not just profits.
This initiative builds on the vision of Pope Francis, who declared 2025 a Jubilee Year focused on debt forgiveness and justice. Now, this mission is being carried forward by the new Pope, Leo XIV, who emphasized at his inauguration the urgent need to overcome economic systems that exploit the Earth and marginalize the poor. Under his leadership, the Vatican continues to champion debt relief as both a moral imperative and a practical step toward global equity and sustainability

Shiny Sovereignty: Florida Moves Toward Gold and Silver Payments

🏆 Governor Ron DeSantis has signed HB 999, a bill setting the stage for gold and silver to become legal tender in the state.
⌛ Set to take effect by July 1, 2026, the law would allow both government and private entities to voluntarily accept precious metals for debt payments. It also removes certain sales taxes for qualifying gold and silver.
🏦 DeSantis says the move is about financial freedom and pushing back against "government overreach." Coins must meet strict purity standards—99.5% for gold and 99.9% for silver—and be stamped with weight and purity.
🥇🥈 With gold hitting record highs amid economic uncertainty, Florida joins states like Utah in giving precious metals a seat at the financial table.
⚖ Freedom, sovereignty, and shiny currency—Florida is placing its bets on real value.
