I don't get this fetishisation of cash. People do know that if they wanted to they could just... render cash worthless? It's no longer legal tender, soz, cashless or gtfo.
We will take back control by... what, having stuff that might be made as valuable as plastic coins from Fisher Price? |

Literally nobody cares if you spend £100 online on dildos. Nobody gives a shit if you subscribe to gardeners world and big jugs monthly. No-one gives a fuck what you spend your money on.
The only 'tracking that is done is by marketing men and all that result is a tailored advert on social media or via email which case no pain when ignored or deleted.
I got a parking ticket once after someone cloned my plate. Was easy to prove I wasn't actually in Leeds at the time given I'd paid for a restaurant meal with my card.
Pesky transaction data, eh.....

"Use it or lose it (cash)  "
They said that about 1c and 2c pieces in Australia.
They've not been legal tender for over 20 years now. They're just small bits of brown metal.
I'm afraid the global elite give zero fucks about "if I keep using it it won't go away"

Someone on the original thread said it was a kill switch to deactivate phones.
Other countries use them all the time. For floods, fires, tsunamis, tornados, hurricane warnings etc.
But yeah. The UK government just wants to be able to turn your phone off if you post bad words against them on Facey or Fab.

It’s all a conspiracy theory until you are denied access to banking facilities and your own money.
Done a thought crime? That’s 2 weeks with no access to food or money for you.
Yeah, but AS IF they’d ever do anything like that right, you crazy far-right nut job!!?

For sure, there's lots of stuff to actually consider when thinking about how we manage money.

My inclination is to think power is corrupting and absolute power is very nice too.
The answer is checks and balances, though, not making up horse shit. |

Suppose I am being tracked (Supermarkets already do it under the guise of saving us money!) for my weekly chocolate and wine habits - and this is just one example.
It is not a quantum leap to link and increase my insurance contributions if a less than healthy life style can be assumed due to said choc and wine habits.
Just saying  |

The people who scream about control and the people who say that health is entirely personal responsibility tend to be very similar, if not identical groups.
And also the same people who until pretty recently have said that you should only worry about the police if you haven't done anything wrong.
Funny how personal responsibility only seems to mean "fuck you I get to do what I want" and not, you know, personal responsibility... |

I like cash. I like to be able to do a car boot sale and make a bit of cash, or sell a cupboard on facebook and get some spare cash to make life that little bit easier. A five pound note that falls out of a birthday card and the jangle of coins in your pocket. Oh, sweet nostalgia. Don't you be taking my cash.  |

Many governments have similar powers in place to prevent illegal activity.
In the UK banks can be told to freeze accounts and assets of people suspected of crimes.
The Canadian situation was in response to illegal blockades of roads by truckers not wanting vaccines. The law had been set that anyone crossing the US/Canadian border needed to have a vaccine or be quarantined upon reentry.
The UK had similar restrictions in place for travel from memory.
Do you really believe the 'thought crime' bollocks or is that just a convenient supposition made to fit a narrative?

Dont get me wrong - I completely agree with personal responsibility and accountability. But working in say broadly speaking an IT /AI environment I am extremely cautious about what data I share. Seriously, the majority of people are (quite understandably) a tad naive. |

Well it is.
Data protection laws mean that information collected can only be used in a manner appropriate to the data itself and with consent of the person it's obtained from.
It can't be supplied to 3rd parties without permission.

It’s a fear I have if we go 100% digital currency. We’re not there yet, for sure, and I’m not suggesting we are.
But, come on, it was only 2 and a bit years ago that people were being arrested for having a coffee walking in Peak District .. who knows what dystopian future awaits if we travel outside of our zones or disobey the government directives in years to come.
There’s a climate emergency you know, we have to change our ways or it’s end of days. We must comply!   |

We're between a rock and a hard place in terms of technology - we often have very little choice in terms of what we share in order to access things that most people take for granted.
However, I can't really take it seriously that the same kind of people who screamed "I'm healthy, I'm not wearing a stupid mask" are now screaming about having their chocolate purchases monitored. Or calling for harsh sentencing and removing rights of the accused and now worrying about civil liberties.
Personal responsibility, innit. |

There was an interesting debate among the antivaxxers over one of the documentaries that came out. Some of the more established figures basically said, this is completely crazy, this makes us look bad.
I think this is what many arguments have to contend with. If your argument is "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" because you have no fucking idea that the piece in question is fiction, you look stupid. And "we shall not comply" is "no, mummy, donwanna", with more syllables.
What would it look like to actually look into the encroachment of big data, the erosion of civil liberties, and understand what's *actually* there? Rather than going off on fairytales about adrenochrome?
There are real concerns to be had. But count me the fuck out of all of this time travelling Covid vaccines bullshit (and yes I'm picking extreme examples out of a wide array of at best half truths and at worst high as a kite bullshit). |

I think most people are compliant and flexible. I still wear a mask in public. I have my reasons. The people who were masking a year ago give me filthy looks now. Because no one else is, I'm the bad person.
(Meanwhile, manners. You don't like my mask. If I don't like your outfit, I keep it to myself because who the fuck cares what you put on your body) |

Not a conspiracy really. It’s a slow eradication of what we’re allowed to do in the name of progress. Like I say, who knows what we won’t be allowed to do in 10 years time, or 20 ..
Will global leisure travel be allowed in 2050? There’s a climate emergency and aviation is seen as great devil.
I don’t know what the future will bring. I’m not a nut job that believes that the world is run by lizard people or that the Clinton’s drink the blood of children to stay young, but I will question what’s going on in the world and who seeks to benefit from it.
Remember when those that said Covid was potentially man made in a lab? They were deemed mentalists by large swathes of the population even as recently as a few months ago. Have you read the news recently? |

I’ve never said otherwise. I’m fully jabbed, and boosted. I’m no anti-vaxxer.
All I’m saying is I don’t believe hook, line and sinker everything I’m told. The example I used a minute ago about the lab-leak theory is a prime example.
Honestly, people were deemed crazy conspiracy theorists for even suggesting it. I mean the government told us it was from a wet market so it must have been, right?
But now the US Govt themselves are declassifying documents that admit they’ve always thought that it was most likely to be a lab leak of a man made virus from the Wuhan laboratories.
So a healthy does of scepticism is always useful! |

"Many high street shops have taken the lockdown opportunity to move to a cashless system O2 shops told me last time i was in they plan to, i said as soon as you do i leave, cmon guys if we don't act now we will lose it and everything we do will be trackable "
Cash is just traceable mate, and no one even cares what you buy.
It makes sense for big box retailers such as O2 to go cashless its saves them a shit load of money and they only do it because customers in the majority have moved to cashless.
I work for a big box retailer with over 350 stores nationwide, 10s of thousands of transactions a day. 78% of all transactions are cashless. We are now looking at what this means how much of the 22% cash transactions are worth and how many of them could we can realistically convert to cashless which is about 8%. So its just a case of if the lost of the small cash transactions we do out set the millions we spend in handling and managing cash. We are currently running trials in some stores.
Its not a big conspiracy theory, its not being set by the government, its not a means of control. It is just simply listening to the customer and making good business decisions. |

"It’s all a conspiracy theory until you are denied access to banking facilities and your own money.
Done a thought crime? That’s 2 weeks with no access to food or money for you.
Yeah, but AS IF they’d ever do anything like that right, you crazy far-right nut job!!?

I might be wrong, but I'm guessing uiyr mobile is way more trackable than using your debit card... |
