"seeds and twigs" - hmmm...

Yes, I noticed that too Googs

surely that's a cash only deal

[BARON CORNY DOG]

I only have cash if I specifically need it for something. Which is almost never.

[BARON CORNY DOG]

It's basically a ploy to impose a digital ID and social credit on us,

What is "social credit" and how is a "digital ID" related to cash (or no cash).

we will be at the mercy of the government.

In what way? Doesn't cash come from the government?

We'll end up like China.

Has China phased out cash? I don't follow.

Look, Trudeau closed the truckers' bank accounts. The bank dropped Nigel Farage. This is only the beginning, but as a rule, I don't discuss politics on the internet.

Is that related to a cashless society?
Couldn't banks close accounts in 1975?

You really want the government or the banks to know about every purchase you make? No privacy at all? And if you don't toe the party line, they shut you down? It's happening in China.

At this point, I don't really care. I will probably die from it all, and I have got no kids to worry about.

I am, of course, concerned about increasingly granular personal information that's out there and the eroded expectation of privacy we have. And here in the United States, concerns about global terrorism have led to onerous restrictions on banks and misunderstandings that have led to bank accounts being closed unilaterally. But I don't understand how it relates to a cashless society, or that governments are pursuing the elimination of cash with this goal in mind. I expect that it is a small part of a larger process. On the other hand, I should be able to draw an American pension in the future and access the money instantaneously from another place (assuming our entire country does not come tumbling down and reverts to a barter system, which is possible, I suppose).

I just bought non-alcoholic Heinekens and a pack of nasty cigs in one place and bananas and courgettes in another. Paid by debit because in both cases, there would have been too much change since I only had 20s on me. At the third place, using an automatic teller, the total for raisins and ice cream came to just under $15, so I slipped in one of those 20s because I was getting a fiver and a tiny bit of loose change back.

This to say that for such small purchases, the medium I use often depends on the change situation.

But if you used electronic methods every time you'd never have any annoying (small) change to worry about!

Before my wife went 'electronic' she had a purse bulging with the full range of change from two-pound coins downwards.

She'd go into the first shop and pay with a £10 note for items costing £3.80

She'd then go into the second shop and pay with another £10 note for something costing £4.50, not even bothering to utilise the change already accumulated from the first transaction.

This would continue with the third shop. And the fourth...

She would then end up with a bulging purse full of unnecessary shrapnel!

I totally understand that. I actually don't end up with that much change. But what I do get, I actually roll up and give to a friend who needs it more than I do. A bit of a win-win ('cause I'm a bit of a completist in certain aspects and get some pleasure from completing a roll, among other things.)

Not always misunderstandings. Politically motivated, too. As for the cashless society, it's all about social control. They are pretty open about it. I have been reading about this and other stuff since 2001, 22 years now. They are pretty open about The Great Reset. Just visit the websites of the WEF and the UN, or look up The Great Reset and Agenda 21.

The Bilderberg group that meets up once a year in Davos, they are just people like you and I. They haven't really thought this through. Where are they going to go after the collapse of Western civilization? Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, and Bulgaria are safe havens. For now, but how long?

Where's Jimbo when you need the lad...?

it is precisely this attitude, or denial if you will, that makes it easy for them.

What 'attitude' Googs and who is 'them'...?

[GoogaMooga]

The attitude I am referring to is the dismissal of what I wrote as being a conspiracy theory. "Them" is a little more complex. The main players are George Soros, Klaus Schwab, WEF, UN, WHO, and the radical left, along with the super rich. The idea is to destroy the middle class, because they think the plebs are easier to control. When you are dependent on the state, it gives them ABSOLUTE POWER.

How do they all communicate their plans so they can synchronise their aims? Do they have a big Whatsapp group or do they all just meet in a Pizza Express?

[GoogaMooga]

And the EU. How could I forget the EU?

Lighten up Googs!

Don't take it like that. I am your friend.

[Minnie the Minx]

Which people in the EU are involved? The representatives? Their administrative staff? Their families?

What about the UK? Were we once in on this plan, but now not? How do those UK EU ruffians now forget what plans they were once in on? Are they given a pill?

Just to be clear Couts Bank (ultra-posh bank of royals and billionaires) dropped Farage because he no longer met their crieria as a customer... And because he's a cunt.

[GoogaMooga]

... And because he's a cunt.

See what I mean? In the future, there will be more cases like that.
