Given the connection between gov't and tech in order to suppress speech that it did not like, is it really unfathomable to suggest that gov't pressures big finance to create a back door registry? I know I am probably being paranoid but the last couple of years have not been very reassuring.
Funny - I know a lawyer at a big bank and there is real pressure to cut guns and ammo out of the modern banking system and leave it to cash only. How about mail order "morning after pills"? No problem, just use cash. Do you honestly think a category of "female reproductive medications" tracked by VISA and not honored by some banks would be met with only faux outrage?
Meh...takes less than a minute to get all the cash I need for whatever I want to buy.
Haven't you heard, hunting is evil too. In person cash only tag system would really clean up point creep.
The Bank Secrecy Act requires banks to report any withdrawals of over $10,000. So they're watching you that way too.
That needs inflation adjustment. When that started in the 80s, not many reasons to withdraw $10k.
I own reliable vehicles, can get cash, like to travel and have more pto than I can use, bring it on.
How about checks? Excluding vehicles and powersports toys (too much for pocket cash but enough that the seller doesn't want to pay visa fees) I have not written a single check in 10 years. We still are working on the same box of checks we go when we moved to this address 17 years ago.
Just deal with it hippie.
I'm not sure I have a checkbook anymore
Alright big shooter, read your post I quoted. You are known for not staying on topic. "For whatever I want to buy" sounds like anything.
