What terrifies me of the cashless society is that think of how easy it would be for the powers that be to just digitally remove access to your funds. Make a post on social media they don't like? Sorry, there's a technical difficulty, and you're unable to buy food, pay your mortgage, car payment, ect. We can't seem to resolve it, sorry. As your house, or car is taken from you, and you or your children are starving because they didn't like your opinion on something.
Sure, it's a pretty wild statement that requires the wearing of a tinfoil hat to read, but if you think about it, do you really think they would think twice about doing it down the road? They being government officials that are in charge of creating and controlling the narrative. Look at how willing democrats are to letting you die if you don't have the vaccine, and are in need of a life saving transplant, or if you aren't vaccinated and are admitted to the hospital with covid and democrats believe that you should be denied care.
The .gov needs more income because they're spending on daddy's credit card, and the inflation bill is coming in. They need revenue to use to kick the can down the road. They are going to squeeze it out of every source they can. Let's just hope and pray that one of the 2 legislative houses switches hard to the opposition of the other later this year, that way party pet projects won't pass one, or the other. They'll be forced to work together on bills that are in the true benefit of the country (fantasy thinking though).
7 fucking percent inflation though, could be worse, may end up worse. I don't have a crystal ball, and Miss Cleo is dead.
