CONTROL?
Wait 'til they eliminate the use of actual cash currency and force digital currency on us.
We won't be able to stock up on preps like extra packages of toilet paper, food, or ammo, or donate to an unapproved charity or organization (like Free Republic).
I'm not quite sure how that would work without eliminating credit and debit cards? For example, if you buy a cart of groceries that includes the "forbidden ice cream", it just shows on the credit card as a single aggregate transaction that is far too late to deny.
Also, if they somehow do "forbid" the ice cream at the point of sale, imagine the employee overhead in having to have an employee quickly re-stock the ice cream.
