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.

@FurryFace Ah but their argument is if all you had was a card or a chip it would be limited as to where you could use it !
And every transaction would be recorded and logged by people who get to decide whether you're a 'good risk' for......car insurance or D.I.Y gear or health insurance.

@FurryFace You are exactly correct. We all need to stop this!

@FurryFace That is true cause if all your money were controlled by some central bank, what happens if you end up in debt you cannot repay? People might argue "Well you owe it..." Alright fine, would it be better to pay it when you are trying to decide between groceries or utilities or when you are juggling rent or groceries?

If they had their way - you would be paying neither.

Believe me I have been in such situations a time or many.

@CestManan Wow! I appreciate your words.....you make so much sense. Oh, you are so wicked....not! 🤗💗

@Oster1 People who have never had to struggle just to pay basic things don't understand but those of us who have, it is different.

Those who do not know what struggle is also tend to be unsympathetic.

@Oster1 are you being sarcastic? I mean I wouldn't mind because I'm pretty sarcastic myself I'm just curious

@CestManan No of course not. I actually mean that. You are making a very valid statement to why people need cash on hand. I appreciate your comments on this. Let there be no doubt!🤗🌺
