The picture at the top of this article is one I took myself as we went shopping this weekend at the Outlets Mall on Rt 16 in Saint Augustine. It leapt out as me as we passed by, and I snapped it right away. There are many such stores here in Florida with signs on their windows proclaiming their now-cashless corporate structure. Did you know that many fast food places are testing business models that are 100% takeout and 100% cashless? Chick-fil-a is doing that right now, and they’re not the only ones.
One of the things that the pandemic and lockdowns did was to greatly accelerate our transition to a contactless and cashless society. You cannot argue that it’s not a faster and easier way to buy things because it absolutely is. Digital transactions account for 80% all of transactions as of 2022, and two-fifths of all Americans used no cash at all during the same time period. In Sweden, cash represents only 1% of that nation’s GDP. Global digital ID will soon be mandatory, the cashless aspect will demand it. This is why Bill Gates, Elon Musk and all major corporations are investing in the hardware and software that will make it a reality.
Elon Musk bought Twitter to take over the global financial system
Elon Musk is having a good time posting silly things and making people laugh. He actually enjoys being mocked for his missteps on taking over Twitter. Why? Because when that happens, you’re not paying attention to the fact that he bought Twitter for the data, and is using their vast server farms to crunch it. Musk couldn’t care less about Twitter as a product, but he cares very much about controlling the global financial system. That’s what Elon Musk is actually up to.

My long dead father told me that the feds would eventually try to convert the U.S. to a cashless currency, so that they could keep track of all expenditures, and easily freeze your accounts if they disagreed with your opinions.
My dad was a smart man. I never patronize retailers who only accept bank cards.
Any business that goes cashless is a business I will not do business with.
Invisible Money is easy to steal ,LOL
Some places can’t get help because younguns don’t want to work
Man refuses to accept store’s cashless agenda, is told ‘Police are on their way’

Does anyone realize there are still some of us Luddites around? I don’t want to make my restaurant order via smartphone as I come in.
Just write us off.
Someone was quoted as saying young people sometimes say as they disregard anything said by someone older “Don’t listen to them. They don’t even have a Tik Tok account.”
and when the power/internet goes OUT you’ll have No Customers
Good.
Someday accounts with a conservative voting record or bookmark for similar websites (and emails and calls recorded showing failure to love the woke government) will show “Account shows zero balance” after you refuse to surrender your gas stove and weapons.
During the COVID insanity some places refused to take cash so I just walked out
Use cash, folks.
What will the prostitutes take for their service?
Guys like Bill Clinton and Bill Gates need to pay those whores cash.
No Cash, no Hope, no Jobs, no Prince, no Rivers, no Pee Wee...
Don’t businesses lose money when people pay with Plastic? so they like cash
One would think every business would give a discount for cash. Why don’t they?
I’ll protest this till the day I die.
If you succumb to this, your saying you agree to let your bank and credit/debit card companies know every time you spend what used to be cash.
“Cashless” is a horrible idea.
Well, at least you won’t have to worry about “price gouging” during emergencies since you won’t be able to buy anything when the power is out.
Scott the Cow Guy brought up the idea they could put an expiration date on your account, like an expiration coupon. Void if not used by 9/1/23
imagine that!
