Not long until all your transactions will be known to Those Who Control You. China starting to use a 'digital currency'. The UK is part-way there with apps on your phone used to order drinks and meals in pubs/restaurants. You won't be able to slip anyone a pony for a favour anymore - every transaction will be recorded: "China is set to host the 2022 Winter Olympics starting next February. And by then, the Chinese government wants to prove on a global stage that the country doesn't need paper money anymore... It wants to show that it's leading a kind of digital revolution." "Anyone who has visited China recently knows that cash is already nearly extinct in the country. Paying for something by using an app on your phone is a regular part of life in China, especially for the younger generations. WeChat Pay and Alipay from Alibaba (BABA), the most popular of these apps in China, have nearly 2 billion users." stansberryinvestor.com/media-article/358209 'Vaccine passports' required to enter shops, pubs, or for travel - digital currency - tied to your smartphone - does the 'New World Order' seem like a 'conspiracy theory' now? Another way to get rid of cash is to spread the stories that it is 'dirty' and that by using coins and banknotes that other people have touched spreads The Invisible Virus. And yet there’s more cash in circulation in the UK now than there was ten years ago. All the major companies such as supermarkets are spending hundreds of millions on cash handling equipment. They must be conspiring.

Well thet will need someone to take all the cash off us !
Supermarkets are the ideal option.
Cash handling = one way traffic.
Same thing with electric cars and electric heating. All of your energy consumption is recorded and you can be switched off and left cold at the tap of a screen.

Yes but for most people that's a bit complicated due to the huge energy demand of the average person. It's the electric heating and banning of gas boilers that will get interesting. That's a LOT of kilowatts.

They must be conspiring. Did you pay with cash when you last went to your pub/club? From all I see and read, it looks to me as if the 'Cashless Society' is well on the way - Finns have been using their bankcards for years already, it's fairly unusual in Finland for people to use cash. Looks to me like all petrol stations now are 'cold stations' where there is no possibility of paying inside at the desk - as there is no inside and no desk - it's all self-service and pay-by-card. No card, no petrol. The machines don't take cash at all. Dropping your phone on the ground, or down the loo, or into your coffee cup, is going to be a lot more of a disaster when your money, Covid Passport, photos, contact numbers, plane and train tickets are on it. Batteries always need re-charging. Yes I used cash to buy my beer with. Also payed cash for petrol yesterday. Cash only way to pay for snooker table light. Used cash at canal pub last night. Will pay cash for supermarket shop today. Finland is obviously different too the UK.

Interesting fact of the day.
Lick Stamps In Moderation!
Stamps offer around one tenth of a calorie when you lick them. Go sparingly!
