Heck it is here and has been here.
Early this afternoon I used my major credit with an on line company to buy groceries.
By the time I got home the major bank which owns that credit card, showed my purchase and what I owe as that moment.
During this time, my wife paid for her appt. with her hair stylist on her main credit card. Before, she got home our bank which owns/sponsors her credit card showed her purchase,last payment and what is due today.
In the meantime, autopay with our bank paid the garbage bill, electric bill, water bill, our yard man, two insurance payments and our donations to the Salvation Army and Church.
We got our SS payments deposited into our checking and minimum monthly distributions from our IRAs deposited into checking.
Anyone, who believes that big brother/sister doesn’t have access to my data, my wife’s data, our data and your data 24/7 has had a severe head injury.
Yes the govt may have access to all of this data, but they probably need a warrant for some of it.
If i pay the neighbor kid cash to mow my lawn, or anything else it becomes harder.
While I suspect that they may be able to track some cash transactions it becomes much more difficult.
Buy more with cash.
Pay your bills with CHECKS & postage stamps.
Everything you do electronically is posted within 60 seconds.
Yes, but at this time, those are all voluntary choices.
Many chose to pay cash or by check or money order.
You should be able to purchase a debit card, for cash, without I.D. easily.
You cannot, with the excuse being "War on Drugs". It is all about control.
