But ripples in one method creates ripples in all the other methods. They are codependent on each other. Just look at the stock market and how much a 4% difference can make.

Even the huge big “too big to fail” pharm industry is a little worried because of their recent losses in the market. They need to get hit even harder by many more right now and they will back track.

Same with banking... Start with using cash only again. That would throw a wrench in the works. But... Folks are too lazy or in too much of a hurry to count out or carry cash. Our own pure laziness and convenience is our own worst enemy.

But rather than adapt and change lifestyles to stand on principle and fix it, we would rather have short term convenience and end up owning NOTHING. It is dumb as hell.

Absolutely do that. Electronic transactions are where banks make money.

Here in Florida there is a significant push for cash at local businesses. They have signs that say the elites are trying to go digital to squeeze them out and hurt US citizens.

P.S. Many businesses offer discounts for cash, usually 3-5%.
