How do you feel about living in a cashless society?

The Federal Reserve came out today to say that new cash will not be given out at banks, for Christmas. First the coinage shortage and now the paper money. Tracking and control? All this BS, needs to stop and now but so many do not understand or care.

Cash is the only analogue medium in a digital world. Its days are numbered for better or worse.

@SW-User When it takes away from freedom, it’s tyranny.

@SW-User Only if people passively allow it.
At some point between mid-70's and early 80's employers completely took the piss and stopped paying people every week !

Monthly salaried pay was something folk didn't fight against and they should have !
Look at it this way. If you get paid monthly and your pay goes into [i]your[/i] account on say....the 30th of each month.
Does it ever cross your mind that your PREVIOUS EARNINGS for every OTHER day of that month, would have been sat in the COMPANY'S bank account ? Earning THEM interest on money YOU were ALREADY OWED ?

@Oster1 How do you figure that ?

Oster1 · M

@Picklebobble2 I thought you supported, was I wrong in thinking that?
