Greetings good citizen, seems one of my favorite hobby horses is under attack [and like Pavlov's dogs, here comes the 'conditioned response'.]
Those of you that have familiarized yourselves with A Simple Plan know one of the key features is it's being 'cashless' [so much so that possession of a 'cash substitute' is grounds for exile.]
The premise is simple, crime is 'cash & carry', eliminate cash and you eliminate 99% of crime. But what if you want to sell Grandma's four poster? How would you accomplish that if nobody has cash/the ability to transfer funds to you?
Simple answer: you couldn't. You can GIVE the artifact to someone who needs the item [highly unlikely since most furnishings are included in your free housing!]
Again, and perhaps this isn't clear in the explanation...the ONLY WAY to acquire MONEY is to WORK for it...and that means just what is says. You have to put in your time and collect your 'salary'. It is ILLEGAL for ANYONE to buy somebody's labor and sell what they produce for personal gain.
If a paycheck is 'good enough' for workers, it's good enough for EVERYBODY!
The ability to 'set prices' is the beginning of corruption. FAIR MARKET VALUE goes right out the window when somebody is granted the ability to say, I need a bigger house...guess I'll have to raise my prices!
THINK ABOUT THIS: A cup of coffee shop coffee used to cost 10 cents and a fast food burger cost 25 cents...hell, a pack of cigarettes cost 25 cents!
A cup is still a cup and a burger is pretty much the same size it always was and cigarettes still come 20 to a pack but you can't get them for 25 cents anymore!
Which tells you what good citizen?
Aren't YOU being cheated [by the very system many of you are willing to lay down your lives for!]
Did I mention we are 'neck deep in STUPID' around here?
Now shift mental gears back to the beginning of today's post... the article 'attacking' cashless society. Guess what her justification was...cash is a 'perfect hedge' against being 'taxed' by negative interest rates!
WTF good citizen? You can't make this nonsense up!
Cash offers ZERO PROTECTION from rising prices...what does this moron have to say about that?
Is that the sound of crickets chirping?
I'd have done away with money completely except it does serve it's singular useful purpose. It serves as a 'regulator' so you don't have to have restaurant police (kicking people out after their third consecutive meal or shopping police, removing the twenty duplicate items the 'reasonable person' wouldn't use up in a month, never mind a week [and the record shows this is Boo-boo's third trip TODAY!]
Yes, good citizen, a society without money would quickly run afoul of shortages due to the extreme lack of 'common sense' [often used to disguise the human tendency towards 'opportunism'.] The words "I didn't know" hides many SINS...
We do have a 'get 'em while they're here' mindset with 'ticket scalpers' being the most obvious and obnoxious offenders.
Let's leave Monkey see, Monkey do out of the equation for now...I believe you see where this is headed.
MONEY does have a 'useful purpose' but right now that 'utility' is the exclusive domain of the THIEF! [Which is what an 'exploiter' actually is. Employers like to call themselves 'pillars of the community' instead of the LEECHES they actually are!
MONEY and it's abusers are the reason why YOU don't have a roof over your head or food in your stomach. The abusers [government is SUPPOSED TO protect you from] demand more money than you can earn/save/scavenge so instead you 'do without'.
I know that most of you could care less about the destitute or the multitudes the system has no use for, you have your hands full keeping your own affairs in order and keeping the idiot you work for happy takes more of your time than you care to think about, so much so that it's pretty much ALL you think [actually 'worry' is much closer to the mark, isn't it?] about.
Like many things, one must consider THE WHOLE PICTURE in order to understand the issue. Attacking 'cashless society' on the basis of negative interest rates is a straw-man a best and fallacious in its entirety!
Is it any wonder the author of this 'hatchet piece' is a banker? What was that, FU Pay ME!?
Which is to point out the ONLY people who want cash to remain are CRIMINALS.
Considering proximity to the elections I digress mightily but it's a necessary diversion given I'm asking you to go on strike in support of instituting A Simple Plan nationally AND Globally.
So you folks had best start chatting it up if we are to hit our 11/9 deadline!
Enough reading, start spreading the word!
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
