Cashless Society

[DiyNutJob]

I think today I've seen the end of cash in society...

You are seeing things. The main purpose of cash is to enable corruption. Corruption is not going away any time soon.

You know it.
They usually accompany the request for cash with: "it'll save me VAT"...but fail to mention you've got F.A cover when they've done a runner leaving your project in boxes and bits.

Prostitution isn’t a crime, begging is.

Some of the ugly fat women I've seen should be in Gaol

we are a cashless society -no bugger has got any money

I think nothing wrong with a cashless society. We generally will get used to it. I did however struggle abit with Israel with getting buses, scooters ect not taking cash or a bank card. All had to be done with apps.

I’m sure they are going to be upset.

What happens if there is a power cut.

or banking systems go down as happens quite often

in many cities in china that is pretty standard they are not allowed to take cash must be card payment

That should be a warning to people in the West.

Or your account gets closed down if you object to a mandatory jab for example. It didn't have to be mandatory in the case of the Canadian truckers for them to get cancelled.

Yeah that was unnecessary and people aren’t seeing
It as an issue.

The cash tills stop working.

Not as often as branches are closed. Online banking 24 hrs a day, what's not to like. I'm sure my business won't suffer when a bit of software maintenance is carried out between the hours of 2:00am and 4:am on a Sunday morning, lol.

10 years back they had Boris bikes.
Now they have a few electric bikes but mainly scooters.

I hired a scooter and nearly killed me my daughter and the buggers trying to cross the zebra crossing.

"Sorry" I shouted back

This was me but the Israelis are not so polite.

That's the problem when they drive on the wrong side of the road.
