So, we are getting rid of the dollar because we owe $33000000000000, and the interest alone is too much now. Can some one check my math, I may have left off a zero or two.

A simple technical glitch and you can’t buy anything.

A deliberate act against you by an anonymous bureaucrat and you lose access to all your money and no way to prove you even HAD the money. You won’t even know who did this or whom to contact to reverse it.

If you ever tried to use a debit and credit card and it did not work, you have learned about “digital money.”

Digital money is tyranny. It can starve you and your family to death and trap you in a prison from which there is no escape.

Without REAL money, your heat can be turned off for non-payment of your bill. You can’t buy groceries. You can’t pay rent or mortgage. You can’t buy fuel for your vehicle. You can’t buy an airline ticket. You can’t rent a hotel room. You can’t buy a meal in a restaurant. You can’t even borrow money from a relative or friend for short-term survival.

It seems like somebody will periodically have to pop off EMPs to ensure that every transaction evermore doesn’t go completely digital and forever trackable.

It seems like you figured out The Plan. Remember those 90,000 extra IRS agents Biden gets? They’ll come after those who give away the The Plan too early.

“CBDCs would offer a safe and low-cost alternative to cash.

I guess in the fact that you won't get physically mugged for cash, but nothing is stopping the banks from pulling a Trudeau and virtually robbing you.

““Look no further than China, in seeing the impact of centralized digital currency,” he said. “The People’s Bank of China uses its central bank to monitor citizen behavior, allowing for the surveillance of spending habits and to cut off access to goods and services.””

We already have this. It’s called GOOGLE.

The amount we ‘owe’ is inconsequential. The principal is never paid back nor is it expected to be because it was no more than numbers written on a piece of paper.

It’s the INTEREST that they demand, and must be paid.

“De-dollarization would push up borrowing costs in the United States, making loans expensive for businesses and individuals, thus affecting economic growth.”

An assumption without a strong foudaion and one that presumes the treasury and the fed are incapable of adjusting to “de-dollarization” and mitigating its effects.

For example: In response to any change in international demand for dollars, or dollar denominated transactions, the treasury and the fed are fully capable of adjusting the dollar supply, globally, to adjust for any change in demand; and thus help stabilize the dollar value in spite of those changes.

Many of the above mentioned expenses won't take cash. Try paying your utilities via phone or internet in cash. Grocery stores have Self-Checkout lanes with a NO CASH sign on them.

I'm not saying I agree with it, just that we are already half way there.

As far as having 'money' in the bank and taking it out to spend as cash.... the bank can keep your money, not allowing you to withdraw ANY of it as cash, and there isn't a darn thing you can do about it.

Tomorrow your bank could tell you your account is at $0.00 and they have decided to keep the money you had in their funds. After all, you willingly GAVE it to them and ALLOWED them to use and invest it as they see fit.

Everyone believes that banks have to give you the 'money' in your account upon demand. Well, that is not true.

One thing you can be sure of. Those in the financial system have ensured that EMP's will not affect the equipment used to store completely digital and forever trackable information.

Besides that, were there to be large enough EMP's to critically wound our financial system, we'd all be dead in a week or two anyway.
