Comrade, forgive format problem, this once time.
Mr Putin is sat in his volcano hideout on a black swivel-chair slowly stroking a white cat, smiling wryly. “You can cancel our Visas, but now I shall cancel yours!” Mwhahahaha. #visadown #visa

TPTB in TBTF banks advise me at it’s a good idea to keep cash with you, as well as two different credit cards, ie: Visa & MC.

How many days of food do you figure the typical EBT card user has on hand?
How many:
pieces of Gold Jewelry showing
kids hanging around thru the grocery line
handicap parking cards hanging on rear view mirror
hubcaps missing on Caddy hauling all them kids
different last names on them kids
etc etc etc

A friend from church needed a $200 piece of equipment. . .drove 30 miles to pick it up. . .relatively small town USA. The shop refused to take cash. The man told him that was all he had. . .he left without the equipment.

That’s idiocy on behalf of the merchant, unless they were an equipment wholesaler and had to keep strict track of sales payment.
Option: buyer could have gotten a money order “cheque” from local post office or Walmart.
