Notice The Cashless Society

One should have some crypto. Russia wouldn't let anyone leave the country with more than $10k.

 

Problem with cash these days are things are so expensive you need a whole roll on you to do anything substantial.

 

Money cost money.

 

Not leaving my country.

 

Canada was freezing bank accounts of people who merely donated to the Truckers protesting vaccine mandates, using a hacked database to ID those persons.

You really think the US wouldn't go this far?

 

For the most part.

 

Authoritarianism disguised as convenience. It’s convenient until you step out of line and they flip the ‘off’ switch on your ass. It’s why they are allowing corporations to take over everyone’s affairs. Then people’s rights to participate in commerce and discourse can be taken away (at the government’s behest) and it can be chalked up to a private company (many of which that are publicly traded) having the right to refuse service to anyone in a ‘free market’. We live in a corporatocracy pretending to be something else.

 

Cash is a wimpy king. Only 19% of transactions are made with cash and most are under $25 purchases.

Here at LAX, the ubers to my place are like $70, even though I'm like 2 miles away (they fucked up the uber prices here in LA)

I take a cab, I tell the cabbie to leave the meter off and I give him $30 in cash (it's usually a $18 fare). They appreciate it.

Usually you can negotiate discounts with vendors by paying in cash. Car repairs, etc.

I use my phone tap to pay a lot these days though

 

We still have cash gifts from our wedding. Was gonna deposit to account but just keeping it in cash in our safe. Bug out fund in case shit hits the fan.

 

I'm not THAT hairy...

 

I neither appreciate you describing me as big and hairy nor what we did in the privacy of prison.
