I have mixed feeling about a cashless world. I am way more for it because it will greatly cut down on all the POS side hustles people do without paying taxes. I owned a small business and they are killing them because you can't compete price wise with some adult loser not paying taxes, insurance, and all the other things real businesses pay. It will greatly reduce the criminal aspect of our society.

I also have no delusions of grandeur so if someone wants to waste time spying on me good for them.

The real bad is having access to be able to use it. Going through this now.

I weirdly have and use all this new "cool" technology now and was one of the first in my area to have a cell phone. I also had internet before it was openly available to the public here. I just like the option of not having to use it.

End of my old man rant.
