11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.
12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people
14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.
16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,
17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.6 ~ Revelation 13:1-18
If they go cashless there will be more need for Dominion counting equipment.
Agree if you do not want to be tracked.
Hahaha
If you look at the banks and what they do today already, entirely legally (because they are influential and can help draft the regulations or laws and interpretation there of), we are already there.
Continuous interest, teaser interest rates for the first year, free cards that then get a built in fee where they don’t tell you and just charge it to the account after the first year (most people don’t even notice), games with exchange rates, games where they pay for the biggest bills first so if you run out of funds they can hit you with multiple insufficient funds fees on the smaller but more abundant charges from an account... Everyone wants to make money, but no differently than the cliché immoral used car dealer hiding defects, playing a shell game and ripping off customers, the financial institutions in this country are “nasty.” Low life scum for the most part-
I have had a personal rule for 40 years that for anything under $300, I pay in cash at all stores. Which means those ba$tards have no idea what I’m smoking, drinking, eating, reading, gasoline, movies, music, entertainment, medications, sporting events that I’m consuming. Surveillance freaks take a flying leap at yourself.
But, why are you opposed to cash payments at all? That’s very anti-freedom.
The article isn’t about going cashless, though, it’s mandating that stores accept cash, which I happen to think is quite proper and I agree with.
A new law banning businesses from denying customers who want to pay with dollars and coins just went into effect.
This is a law I can support.
I think I am old enough that I will not live long enough for the government to switch from cash to everything electronic.
Once that switch is made freedom is lost.
If all financial transactions are digital then every action is being recorded which is bad enough but then the potential for some authority to “cancel” your account leaving you with nothing. Think how easy Facebook, google and Twitter are able to cancel voices they don’t like.
China is ahead of the world in this brave new world but there are many in this nation that would welcome it.
As it says on the bills “Legal tender for all debts, public and private.” If you tell them in advance that cash isn’t accepted, they can’t make the purchase, hence no debt to settle.
I support the idea.
The tech biggies - who very much support all the new “limits” say to be “caused” by the “pandemic”, would love to celebrate the completion of the totally cashless society.
They are using the theme that cash is more susceptible to transmitting the virus. That’s only possibly true in some cases if retail workers do not wear latex gloves 100% of the time at work and do not take other sanity precautions.
Especially since it's legal tender. Meaning legal.
Here in Oregon several businesses have announced that they’ll ni longer accept cash.
They say it’s ‘cause of Covid...
“That’s very anti-freedom.”
You’re right. But it’s also very easily tracked by the government for tax purposes with the deposits. So it attacks the businesses, not the customer, first.
If plastic is used, it creates a trail making the burden of the tracking on the government. Seems they are going to tax the businesses out of existence, which has been the historical way of their gaining control. But by using this tactic, they, without judicial determination, are violating the fourth amendment and should over ride the “hotwatch act” the public has been programmed not to question.
So forcing the use of cash as one of the ways to purchase, it assists the IRS in certain situations to determine worth for taxing. But if hotwatch was ever determined to be used for this type of purpose, and not to track terrorists or cell phone operations which is what the public has been told, then it blows the lid off their toy. But like everything else, someone has got to realize they’ve been spied on for no reason and gets hurt. And since the Biden admin is going to play that game, opening up lanes of investigation is right down their alley.

How exactly would taking cash payment allow tracking of customers? I don’t understand at all what you’re saying.
I’ve noticed a lot of store are discouraging cash by demanding all cash sales use exact change, citing some “nationwide change shortage” that we are allegedly in the midst of.
And always will be.
Even if it takes the form of Bottlecaps.

“How exactly would taking cash payment allow tracking of customers?”
They aren’t tracking customers with the cash, they are trying to get thre customers in with an incentive while tracking the businesses first. If they find a company is exceeding their amounts and want to get them, the credit card coverage is where they will go. They will shut down the businesses. But the cash guarantee get’s them in. And when the customers start to exceed their cash on hand, they will use the cards also. The idiot socialists think this is a way to control business, but if used right, it is a trap for fourth amendment determinations.
