When governments don’t like your speech, they regularly freeze your electronic accounts, leaving you no way to buy food. See Canada, here,”:

“If a company is investor owned. One of these three companies probably has one or more people on their board.”
Extremely important post. I wish more would wake up to this reality. And a controlling interest in a sub-corporation only needs to be 5% of the shares. The interesting thing is that these three Corporations have the controlling interest in EACH OTHER too. It is a conspiracy of greed, power, and control.
They absolutely own or control just about everything in the world. The MIC, the global financial world, big pharma, all the media, big oil, food supplies, just about everything. Right now Larry Fink of BlackRock is the most powerful man on the Planet. And these three corporations ARE the New World Order Global Cabal.
Never hand anyone your card. Insert it yourself and remove it.
Most of the hotels I go to are “cash free”. It doesn’t bother me in a practical sense. It irritates me when I see the signs.
Nothing wrong with allowing people to use cash when they want.
(Although i tried to take $30k in cash to buy a truck once. The dealership wanted no part of it. And that was in 2012.)
My dollars are legal tender for all debts public and private.
That’s illegal in MA. I’ve seen that at gas stations where I travel.
Honestly, this is where the “Stablecoin” transactions will eat into the credit card business.
You can also make a money pad with a cardboard backing, some gauze, and a little rubber cement. Just peel off as many $2 bills (or whatever denomination) as you need. Easier than buying sheets of bills from the Treasury.
Over three years ago I came home from the hospital after three weeks.
Between a CVS, Shell station and a Circle K that I used a card at, the card got compromised.
I got a call from the credit union asking if I bought 400 dollars of gas in PA.
It got resolved and I wasn’t held liable.
Plenty of contractors and repair shops will give a very substantial discount for cash.
it's legal in NYS, with certain posting requirements and such. We'll see if stablecoin catches on, it may be a solution. Of course credit card companies could reduce their charges, you'd think 30% interest rates would make up for it.
“ the melt value of a U.S. $20 gold piece as bullion is approximately $3,255.04, assuming no additional numismatic or collectible value” - Grok
The gold coin used to be directly tradable to paper cash back and forth. Now it’s worth $3,255.
If you once traded the coin for the paper and held it, where did the other $3,235 go?
I once bought a trailer for $28,000 in cash in 2019.
We stood at the window of the seller’s bank while their machines counted out the deposit.
Everyone was happy that there was no chance of fraud.
I went to a concert last year and was going to get some chips and a drink before the show. I brought cash and was told “card only”.
Silver is $38 an ounce. The old silver dollars were 90% silver.
GOOD!!!
Sometimes I use cash cause I’m sick and tired of my every purchase being monitored.
Then the clerks can learn basic addition and subtraction by experience, which they clearly never learned in public indoctrination centers mislabeled as schools.
Mental image of corporate scum scrambling to deprive their outlets of enough change to support cash purchases.
I have come to believe that the Federal 401K/403B/IRA programs made this possible.
These programs have over the decades put enormous amounts of money in to stock funds, money market funds and bond funds.
Almost all of these funds are controlled by these three companies.
The productive people of the United States, I believe, have funded their own enslavement.
We went to Great Falls National Park recently, the US National Park Service, and it does not accept cash.
“Careful, last year I used my CC to buy lunches at one food joint….by the time I got home it had $5000 plus ran up on it…from Florida all the way up north…in less than eight hours.
My Credit Union fixed the problem and stated they lose millions to Credit Card theft…. my new chipped card has had no problems since then.”
Strange. All my cards have been chipped for years.
Also, I get immediate texts of each transaction.
