You are all being tracked which violates the Bill of Rights.

But...isn’t paying cash desirable?
This is actually good news. My wife and I went from “all cards, all the time” for the last 15 years to “almost” all cash now.
Obviously an exception is online purchases.
Why are you opposed to being able to pay with cash? I’m not sure I follow your logic. How would they track small cash payments?
Cue the scene where Kramer pays for calzones with a pocket full of change...
“But...isn’t paying cash desirable?”
Absolutely.
[Note, however, that individual bills are serialized and thus very trackable by the Deep State, should they desire.]
Revelation 13:17, KJV:
“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
I didn’t think under the Legal Tender laws that you could deny someone from paying with dollars in any form.
We’re getting there. Never thought I’d live to see these times.
Just don't try to stop the mail.
I do the same....take “x” dollars out of my account once a month....and pay cash for everything.
This was originally born out of an attempt to protect cashiers during the COVID pandemic. Not handling cash and/or providing change increases their protection. LOL!
Of course cash should be allowed. I virtually never use it but it’s legal tender.
Not if you’re big business or government.
For them, it is ideal if you are cashless.
Easier to manipulate you, total control/insight over your behavior and actions. It’s easy for someone to join Amazon Prime, pay for an anti-virus software with an annual automatic reoccurring reenrollment and then forget about it. People lose track of how much they spend. There are built in fees for the vendors that are hidden from the customer but end up in the final total cost (i.e. ~3%) which the banks make... Of course the IRS/”gubbermint” loves electronic everything for obvious reasons.
I think this is actually a good thing. Making folks accept cash as “legal tender.”
If we allow merchants to go cashless, we are really allowing banks and merchants to decide what the currency of the nation is. In that sense, no differently than when our nation was being founded and you had every state making it’s own money, or private groups and citizens even printing currency, this would be a step backward, albeit the banks and some merchants today will disagree. LOL
I think you are missing the reality. Cash is undetectable.
Also, Federal Law requires that cash is the primary & always legal form of remuneration. Look at a Federal Reserve Note: IE CASH. ‘This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private’
If a merchant refuses your cash as payment, you may legally take the product & the debt is paid. Credit Cards are not legal tender. Checks & debit cards are not legal tender.
That’s a good thing, not a bad thing actually. Not taking cash as payment is actually illegal, as it is legal tender.
The “cashless society” fantasy of leftists is just another endlessly failing scheme. First and foremost it violates some economic ‘iron rules’, such as Gresham’s Law.
“bad money drives out good”.
Basically, if there are two competing currencies, everybody will want to spend the worse one and keep the good one. So the worse one quickly becomes worthless, and every sensible person keeps the good one and its value keeps increasing.
The second economic law, that drives socialists bonkers, is that “anything of value can be used as a currency”. And it means, literally, *anything*. It drives socialists bonkers because it devolves power *away* from government.
This is why socialists always have a shortage and rationing mindset, because it gives power to government. Especially if things of value *aren’t* in shortage, socialists try to create shortage, or at least the illusion of shortage.
Typically they phrase this as “raising public awareness”, that is, propagandizing the public to believe what they are told, not what they see with their own eyes.
In any event, if anyone has a desired thing that people want, he has a currency to compete with “cashless.”
“How would they track small cash payments?”
If they make it a law, then tracking it is easy. Deposits. If a bank receives deposits of cash, and a small amount won’t keep a mom and pop doors open, they will be required to report it to the government. And they will be threatened if they don’t.
This type of action is exactly the opposite of what a good economy is founded on...the growth of the entrepreneur. Socialism frowns on this and this is one way to slam the door shut on it. For the new ones trying to get into business, they will make it impossible to get a business license. Hoops and/or cost. Socialist’s can’t have competition with what they control. This is why they never stay around because of the actions of the people they govern when they can’t earn money and get hungry because uncle sugar can’t provide enough and some at the bottom of the fish tank (dwellers) don’t get the food coming down.

I think we all GOT THIS WRONG - read the above carefully, and watch the video. They’re actually on OUR SIDE on this issue.
