Cashless Society

I doubt this is anything new. But they are openly admitting it now.

Mastercard To Expand Digital Biometric ID and “Behavioral Biometrics”​

https://reclaimthenet.org/mastercard-to-expand-digital-biometric-id-and-behavioral-biometrics

The leap from simple 'marketing' strategies to something much more controlling is really not that big.
That is why I shun the CC perks and use cash whenever possible. Nobody knows where the cash came from, nobody knows where it went, nobody knows who used it, nobody knows what time I used it, nobody knows where I am when I used it, etc. etc. And NO.....I don't have a smart phone or a smart car. And I also don't have anything to hide.....but I like my privacy b/c I just do. Once you give it up.....it's gone!

Nobody needs to know when I go grocery shopping, what food I'm buying, or how much I spend on it. Pretty soon, health insurance premiums will be calculated based on shopping habits if we don't push back. It's really not that far out.

This is something Donald Trump will put an end to in the US...and...we'll go along with it...I hope!

I hope you're right, but I don't put all of my faith in Trump. At this point, I support him (on the ballot) b/c there is nobody else to support. I really don't like those choices.....

Besides, he can't fix everything that's wrong with America right now. If I put all my faith in someone other than Jesus, I'm guaranteed to be disappointed.

Friends occasionally ask whom I support for President. I say, "What do you mean by 'support'?"

I haven't voted for any candidate in many, many years.

I only vote against the candidate who I think will do the most damage in the next 4 years...because I think they will all do damage to the Republic, and I just consider it my duty as a citizen of the Republic to slow the damage down as much as I can with what little I have...my vote.

So, I never call myself a "supporter" of any candidate. Seems like most candidates will let me down. I am, however, an "opposer" of most candidates...I just have to decide whom I oppose the most, and then vote for the other one.

For going cashless, the latest trend I’ve noticed is a fee for using a credit card to pay a bill online, but no fee if you pay with an online check linking your bank account. I will not link my bank account. Period - Not gonna do that.

I say this CONSTANTLY!!! THEY WILL TAKE YOUR LAND, YOUR PLACE! Everything you have put up, food, ammo, etc., will be taken! Obama said a long time ago, "You will own nothing by 2030 and be happier"!! They will invoke a federal property tax and YOU LOSE, game over! Glad it was said again so maybe this subject that I have brought up SO MANY times will finally be acknowledged!!

Obama said a bunch of quotable things, but I think that's a 2016 WEF quote. Regardless, I'm not going to let anybody wrangle away my properties.

What is the deal with lame legislators all over the country (even in Red-States,) that propose the requirement for businesses to accept cash and then the bills die in committee???

And Bitcoin is totally playing into every transaction being tracked.
I wish Trump and Musk would stop kissing up to the Bitcoin people, but I guess there's a lot of money for them to make in that market and also lots of young folks to be won over?

If I want to go into a store and not be in somebody's database, I ought to be able to pay cash! And even then, they ask for your phone number so they can track you and you just have to say no thanks!
P's me off sometimes!

Well, I got good news for you!
Cash ain't going nowhere...
With the millions of 'newcomers' going to work for CASH, and living on cash, because they don't have an ID or SS number to open an account, it will be around for years to come.
Why?
The govt don't have nowhere near enough money to support all of them.
I know this sounds strange, but you can thank immigrants for keeping cash alive.

 

[Amish Heart]

Well I don't know about that, Supervisor. I lived in Albuquerque area for 20 yrs and know that anyone can buy a social security card at the McDonalds down the road from where I lived for $50. And New Mexico gives ID to anyone, and anyone can vote, don't have to be a citizen. And illegals can get free childcare contracts and all the EBT stuff and free medical. Asking for proof of being here legally is racist, according to them. They don't have to use cash.

I'm putting this here b/c if we have a complete digital currency, the we will HAVE to have a digital ID......you know, to keep us all safe from fraud, right? They go hand in hand.

This is what they want......to make it soooooooo conveninet for us that we just can't resist. Oh, and while you're on their platform, here's an extra dose of propaganda. No thanks.....I'll pass. There is no convenience that will make me accept a digital currency without a fight.
