I’m totally down with a ca$h $ta$h.
Having lived through long power outages in FL from hurricanes, and winter storms in the Ohio valley, I know that debit and credit cards aren’t of much value when there is no power for a week.
Add to that the banking uncertainty we face (if one has the sense to acknowledge it - most don’t). Most Americans refuse to even consider it as a remote possibility that we could have banking “holidays” that could cut off access to our money for one or several weeks. Their faith is amazing, thought very poorly placed.
I personally am not religious, but I am astounded at those in my own (married) family that have unlimited *faith* in the goodness and benevolent strength of the government on their behalf, yet openly ridicule Christians as stupid and superstitious.
