Cash is king...at least in my world. I have credit/debit cards too...but try to deal in cash as much as possible.

It's like Matt says about the deals that arise when you have cash in your pocket, or at least at your disposal.

You're both under arrest. You need permits and business licenses to repair mowers, and those eggs aren't FDA approved.

Good points, all.

For a story that's too long to go into, my daughter has hit roadblocks with accessing health care.

She had a problem, not and emergency, and did not want to go to the ER.

She tried to see a doctor, and pay cash. Nope. No cash accepted.

She called me, I called my doc. Nope, no cash accepted.

I called my chiro, who is a little more down to earth. He gave me the name of a doc who probably would accept cash.

Turns out, it was the first doctor who told her no. Now, all of a sudden, with a "cash" referral, the doors open.

Health care--ultimate control.

Imagine what would happen if you went to the grocery store, and had to swipe your health care card to get in.

So you somehow accessed the Democrat health care population control bill, eh?

Eating an unapproved diet? Suddenly, your card doesn't work.

I get laughed at when I mention this concept..............

Right on. Whether it is intentional or not, we are being farmed like so many sheep.

Bingo. It seems like we humans opt for ease in the short term over possible long term consequences, and those who do consider those consequences are laughed at as troglodytes and conspiracy theorists.

up to date tracking...

It's the shortsightedness of the species. People want a good quarterly report, at the risk of long-term success. They chop off their feet to loose weight.

I read/heard someplace, that the measure of Intelligence is the measure of how long of a train of thought you can have, before you lose it, get lost etc. Like looking ahead during a chess game. Stupid people only see 1 thing at a time. I'm hungry, I spend all my money on McDonald's. Smarter people see 2 steps, that I shouldn't spend my money at McDonald's, I should buy food from the grocery store as I'll get more for my money. IE I don't just need lunch, I need dinner too.

So many times I think Liberals are stupid, because they say shit like "That guy just killed people, ban guns!" They only see 1 step ahead, and can't actually have a real thought that explores all possibilities, and looks far into the future. Or a child that wants to eat nothing but candy, not looking far into the future of rotten teeth, bad health, fatness.

The war on cash is the same thing. We look at the short-term benefits, without considering the long-term impacts. The instant gratification of Facebook, not the long term impacts on your life. The short term thrill of writing up an epic rant, without seeing the long-term impacts when people start to hate me. Getting a fat profit on pmags, when people won't do business with you.

CBDC is nearing implementation. Unlike bitcoins etc. these currencies are centrally issued, trackable and controllable. Overlords don't like what you're saying or doing? (click: poof) You're insolvent and unable to participate in the economy - at all. No food, no rent, not medical services... nothing.

"Around 90 central banks are either in the process of experimenting with or are already piloting central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)...

...Also firmly on board is the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, which helps many of the world’s largest central banks, including the Federal Reserve and the ECB, manage their assets while obviously keeping all potential conflicts of interests at bay...

We don’t know who’s using a $100 bill today and we don’t know who’s using a 1,000 peso bill today. The key difference with the CBDC is the central bank will have absolute control [over] the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability, and also we will have the technology to enforce that.”

Not guilty....

Damnit. 5 years later and this shit still bugs the fuck out of me when this thread pops up.

'car wash ramps up' ? WTF kind of thread title is........ohh.. fuck me...

Well...

Car washes are a great way to launder cash, so there's that

I signed up for bitcoin a couple months ago. Bitcoin wanted my SSI number so I dumped them. Businesses such as the roach coach still run on cash. Even my local roller skating place still is cash only.
