Always use cash from now on, not credit cards

Drove to a restaurant today with my wife and was first of all creeped out to find that they knew my name from my phone number, which I had to give to get on the wait list. They said they use a centralized database of many restaurants for that.

They have a window where you can order a beer while you are waiting. So I ordered a beer and they refused to take cash.

OK, I wanted the beer, so I paid with a credit card. Then the total had an extra $1.50 on it. I asked about that and was told that I added a tip. I specifically did not add a tip because I was pissed that they don't take cash.

I got the manager and made him remove the tip.

We are rapidly approaching the CCP utopia of complete tracking of all citizens at all times.

Lesson: call ahead and make sure a restaurant will take cash. If they will not, don't go there.

What about the homeless? They survive on people walking past and giving them a bit of spare change, maybe even a note if they’re lucky. If we’re all walking around with digital wallets then what happens to them?

How will people buy the dope that keeps the CIA going?

Oh damn, hadn't thought about them. Poor CIA, I guess they will have to do without that revenue.

Banks trying to drive cash out of society, warns Nigel Farage

Legal tender laws?
281   Patrick   2023 Jul 31, 7:40pm  

The way I understand it:

If you have a debt, the store has to take cash. Says so right on the cash, valid for all debts.

But they can refuse to take cash before you incur a debt.

So if you eat at a restaurant, you can in theory always pay cash at the end, because you have a debt.

But if you try to buy something at a cafe, they can refuse cash because you don't have the debt yet.

I always side with the business in this matter, they can transact however they want. If you don't like it, don't go there. We stopped eating at a couple restaurants that refuse to take cash.
284   NuttBoxer   2023 Aug 7, 9:29am  

We've discussed this before, most small business's will discount your bill for cash because it's saves them money.

You're so quaint, believing laws matter.



I'm not going to post the picture of him with 1/2 dozen teenage prostitutes.

Good sentiment, but two ironies:
1. The rich have more "ballots" and can out vote you.
2. The gov can take your "ballots" (taxes) and cast those votes how they like.

Both true.

I suspect that favored businesses don't care about boycotts because somehow unlimited newly printed money is directed their way.

Me too.

I also don't think the writer's strike is going to ever end. My expectation of the future is that we will have personalized AI "entertainers" within 30 years or perhaps only the rich will have access to any entertainment at all, and the poor will have none.

Still curious how the druggies will pay for the CIA dope when cash is outlawed. Maybe a law will come out prohibiting the police from tacking illicit drug sales through digital currency.
299   Patrick   2023 Aug 12, 8:57am  

Maybe the druggies will lead the way in getting the world back on physical silver coins.

Actually 1 is false. We shop at the stores, not them. They won't keep a store open when everyone leaves, as it just reminds us of their failure. And at the end of the day, it's a confidence game they are always on the verge of losing. Turn the faucets on in too obvious of a manner, the whole system collapses.

They hypnotized us with the Beefy Crunch Burrito and other drive-thru Mexican delicacies, and now they're guiding us into the new globalist nightmare through cashless restaurants.

During an earnings call earlier this month, parent company Yum! Brands, Inc. addressed plans to eventually move to 100% digital sales at its restaurants.

This includes fast food chains like Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and KFC.

If you're going to switch us off a cash-based society, this is the way to do it.


Resist. Boycott.
303   NuttBoxer   2023 Aug 24, 12:26pm  

If digital transactions are your only reason for not eating at these industrial food producers, I'd ask you to reconsider your views on health.
304   Patrick   2023 Aug 24, 12:45pm  

Lol, I don't eat at any of those anyway, just encouraging others with another reason to stay away.

Just four weeks ago, I reported how a prediction by Australian “conspiracy theorists,” falsely debunked by the press, became reality in just three months.

That story was about certain Australians who predicted that the government would move their country to become a “cashless society.” Those people were soundly debunked and called crazy right-wing conspiracy theorists by the Australian press. Then, three months later, the Australian government decided to move towards a cashless society, indeed.




At the time, I thought that three months from a conspiracy theory being debunked to the same theory coming true was fast.

Boy, was I wrong! Australia just outdid itself.

According to an excerpt from the book, during an interview Musk asked biographer Isaacson, "How am I in this war?" He explained, "Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes."

Well. I suspect Starlink also has a little something to do with a replacement digital currency, which can only possibly work as a cash replacement if there is 100% reliable connectivity everywhere all at once. But that’s a subject for a different post.
309   NuttBoxer   2023 Sep 8, 1:24pm  

Starlink is funded by DoD, so that's bullshit right out of the gate.

On the necessity of a worldwide system, I don't see it at all. If they're able to herd even 95% of the population into large cities(definitely the plan), why give a shit about the rest? They won't. At least not until they have achieved their vision for a slave world with the majority.
311   stereotomy   2023 Sep 11, 7:04pm  

Fuck this bullshit. On every single fucking FR note on the lower left hand side on the front is:

THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.

You fucking woo-q-tards should just shut up about this.

The time to worry is when all currency is recalled and the new shit doesn't have that phrase - that's how it's all been done before.

I'm seeing plenty of mom & pop joints offering around 5% discount for CASH MONEY.

@Patrick - can we call out this woo bullshit?

They might get 95% of the survivors herded in cities “for their safety “ but the amount of dead prior to that will exceed the number of survivors by a significant margin. Their goal is not to simply control everything, but also to eliminate the majority of people.

I think this is true.

Billionaires have been talking for years now about the need to eliminate the majority of humanity to make more room for themselves save the planet.
