The only place where I consistently use cash to pay my barber.

I recently had to pay cash for my lunches in the cafeteria of the factory I was visiting. I collected a pocketfull of worthless change .

Yep - The world is not there yet - I daresay most of us expect cash to disappear. (people like you guys and myself)

The snowflake generation seems especially ready for the Mark. They don’t see the danger. Not all of them, of course. But a lot of them have been taught how cool Socialism/Marxism/Communism/Globalism is.

Imagine if Adolph Hitler had access to this kind of technology.

The “world guy” will make Adolph look like a choir boy in comparison.

[NYC lost power for just a few hours a couple days ago and they were freaking out. Imagine if they’d lost power for weeks and there was no “real cash” and no low skilled cashiers who understood how to count cash and give change to the few out of touch old pensioners who had cash on hand.]

Yep. Just one of several reasons to prep, too. Just to get over short-term emergencies.

Everyone seems to forget Bank of America. You do not need ID to open an account there. Illegals use BOC to transfer money to where ever.

[No matter what question I have, they say: “We have an app. Have you used the app? The app will help you. Have you downloaded the app? You should use the app.”]

Every freaking fast-food place pushes apps as well. A lot of coupons only work if you have “the app”.

The upside is that some of them will accept a picture of a coupon (some of them) on your Global Tracking Device, oops I mean, “your cellphone”.

I pay with cash when ever I can. Screw credit/debit cards. Merely tracking devices.

I opened accounts (gone now) at BofA a few years ago. I needed I.D.

But I don’t know about recently. Other than, you have to have $1,500 minimum to keep from getting any fees.

I’ve designed and built some. Lotsa SQL on multiple platforms. But I’ve been outta the game for awhile.

Now all I do is look at lousy jobs....

I think all banking falls under the DHS umbrella (in some form) these days.

Dunno.

I know someone who was working for a bank, checking out all the transactions (they were looking for illegal activity / terrorism funding).

“I’ve never used an ATM. Wouldn’t know how. Wouldn’t know my password.”

In an emergency, I needed to use an ATM but wasn’t able to. Even though I knew my password, it had expired years earlier. Apparently, at our credit union if an ATM isn’t used for six months, it’s in some kind of limbo.

Why would you ever want to hand the government and potentially hackers the ability to cut you off from your money as well as the ability to see every single last purchase you ever make?

Because the technology is so cool, man!

Besides, that Bible is full of old stories and you can’t trust it, anyways!

That stuff is crazy, just like conspiracy theories.

CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo, Rolling Stone and Huffington Post tells us how to think! They are our new god!

That Meghan Rappin’ Ho is sooooo cool! She’s like a lesbian man and she hates President Trump!!

I can’t wait until her rap album comes out!!

He wears a cape. He doesn’t follow the trends.
