“The people I know who have excess pay cash.”
Most people don’t. They can’t afford it or they are taught through time that they are not responsible for their commitments. Look how many college debts are still out there.
Today’s society is not based on how much cash you have, but worth. And when liabilities became worth it toppled the one for one trade aspect. The only difference between one dollar and millions is how many toys make it up. People can have money, or they can have things. Few have both because there is always something out there desired, or just lusted after, that cause trade of worth for desire.
Cash has become a liability in itself. Try securing a room at a major hotel with the promise of cash. You won’t be able with most companies to rent the car to get to that hotel. And remember when checks were used as cash? No one will take them unless they are on a secure bank line to get the money instantly.
We live in a world of financial promises, not secure credit. And it’s a trap. In 2019, only 3% of the bankruptcies in the US were businesses. The other 97% were private people, personal. And that doesn’t count those that were repossessed of the property they owed on or had there land sold out from under them.
The people you know are fortunate, and few. There are so many promises of wealth out there by teaching facilities and the marketing of lies, that the can’t miss part of life is spotlighted while the hidden in the dark failure is out there ready to pounce. They always think they’ll pay for it down the road with that plastic. They sure will. And at a premium interest rate. Until their irresponsibility catches up. And then debt becomes liquid and flowing out rather than out and in.
“No one carries cash anymore.” That’s because they don’t need to nor are expected to. And you can sum it easily by just looking the confusion of someone trying to make change from your $20 bill you gave that cashier. Even when the registers tell them how much to give back, enjoy the show when they try to count it backwards. Our society is no longer taught, practically using, or really caring about the use of cash. We live in a machine world and it’s just easier to slide in the chip. And those desires are still out there. And thee are plenty of those that want them enough to harm themselves. They should have stayed in mom’s and dad’s basement playing their videos games. They were not only protected from predators, but also from themselves. And they want to propagate. God help us.

Maybe when they LOWER THEIR PRICE!
“From my personal perspective, Disney Corp. is one of the most anti-American, corrupt companies on the face of the earth and I’m looking forward to seeing Eisner’s name on the list of Epstein’s friends.”
Eh, I can name plenty of companies that are more anti-American and corrupt than Disney even under Iger (who if you ask me is even WORSE than Eisner. As bad as Eisner was, at least he was pragmatic enough to focus on profit rather than on politics, while Iger is willing to outright hemorrhage Disney just to push woke politics), let alone Eisner. For example, Lucasfilm before it was bought by Disney. George Lucas literally created Star Wars to be Vietcong propaganda to the masses and demonize American involvement in that war, and we ended up buying it hook line and sinker, with Lucas then making the Prequel Trilogy that made his true anti-American and leftist views very apparent, and Lucas also spent his time outright shilling for Obama and OWS (and may have held Marxist tendencies since at least Empire Strikes Back based on one of his gloats to Hollywood at the time). And quite frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of Hollywood’s current problems stem directly from Lucas and his buddies. Even Iger, who was an even WORSE political animal than Lucas, hasn’t gone as far as Lucas in shilling for the left. Come to think of it, considering he wanted Indiana Jones to basically have a May-December Romance with Marion Ravenwood, even wanting to make her 12 and him 36, and had to settle for 15 as a compromise while thinking anyone 16 or older is “no longer interesting” (not to mention pretty much getting his wish with Padme and Anakin, where Padme’s essentially marrying someone young enough to be her own son), I’m actually surprised that George Lucas isn’t considered to be on the list of Epstein’s friends.
Besides, I think you need to be on the lookout for Katzenberg regarding Disney, since I argue that Disney’s far-left shift was actually more of Katzenberg’s handiwork than Eisner’s (though that’s not to say Eisner didn’t bear responsibility for that mess). Let’s not forget, Eisner actually approved of Jim Cox’s planned version of Beauty and the Beast (which was actually pretty close to the original tale) and even personally contacted him to make a full-fledged screenplay. It was Katzenberg who nixed it in favor of a version that was more like a feminist screed that barely even resembled the original tale at all (actually having LESS similarities to the original tale than The Little Mermaid did, and considering that gets grief over a changed ending, that’s saying a lot), and in fact he demanded for a feminist twist, apparently because so-called “critics” denounced Ariel as being “cloyingly sexist” just for wanting to go for Eric in The Little Mermaid. In fact, Katzenberg being fired by Eisner if you ask me was one of his better decisions. Want an idea of what a Katzenberg-run Disney would look like? Just look at Bob Iger, as Katzenberg’s about as much of a political animal as Iger, arguably even MORE of one.
