Jag är ingen kommunist/leninist/marxist på något sätt. Jag är för att människor kan bli snuskigt rika och marknadsekonomi and shit..
Men....
När pengar förlorar sitt värde, eller bara är siffror på papper, då är det dags att beskatta hårt. Och när man har gjort det beskatta ännu hårdare.
För 20 personer i världen, kanske fler, har pengar inget värde förutom att dom kan köpa sig allt.
Meanwhile, in the #BadEconomy.
> Britons ‘hoarding cash amid economic uncertainty and fear of outages’

“At a time of uncertainty, at a time of crisis, people do move to cash. They want to make sure they have literally got something under the mattress...".
#Bilförsäkringar är en spännande marknad.
Jag kollar runt inför min huvudförfallodag.
Bilen, Volvo från 2004. Trevliga mil/år är max 1500. Jag, man från 1972. Boendet, hyrd lägenhet i stad större än 50000 pers.
Månadspremien på en halvförsäkring, utan nått fancy pantzy, ligger mellan 200 kr upp till ofattbara 550 kr/mån.
Medelpremien är 356kr/mån.
Hur kan jag vara så olika prissatt? Otroligt.
Jag blir kvar på nuvarande bolag.
#TipsFromMasterCriminals: FFS, keep your toothbrushes and other minor house items dumb and offline. Oh, and remember #CashIsKing and also mostly untraceable for certain transactions.

> Why so many people are getting scam texts saying they have unpaid tolls
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/19/unpaid-tolls-scam-texts.html
I've been getting these effing scam texts, which I just delete and block the number. They are basically the latest phone nuisance for me. Also another reason why I avoid toll roads, especially now that they've gone all electronic and make it a pain in the ass to pay cash, if at all.
I'll take the country road, thank you much.

@darren @cdarwin and, "Let's be clear." This $h!t could've ended last May! It looks like Trump managed to concoct an October Surprise of his own after all. Are we in the Twilight Zone? Fool me once, sure, but hotter than a baker's oven? WTAF is going on around here? He's literally tap-dancing on Carter's grave. That's textbook diabolical right?
Johnny, if you're out there, will you please send us some Ghost Riders?

FFS. Credit card skimmed a few weeks ago. Get new card. Someone hacks netflix account after CC card change. (Which turned out to be some weird coincidence but...) Cancel the new card and get another one. New card arrives and the bank app is non-functional and you can only activate the card through the app. FFS. Oh and the error message on the app: "Temporary delays"
I hate living in the future.

You've gotta laugh...you do.
Mind you, if there are "outages" the ATMs won't work either. Nor will the banks.
It's cash under the mattress time!
Possible values:
no - All cash handling happens by humans only.
yes - Machines are available for cash handling.
cashier - Machines are available for cash handling at cashiers (often limited to coins).
self-service - Machines are available for cash handling at self-service stations.

Paying in cash at a cashier usually is an option, but machines handling cash could be preferable, for example:
Elderly people might prefer a machine handling their coins as opposed to trying to count them themselves.
People who prefer reduced social contact.
Cash/coin enthusiasts who prefer cash payments.
Tag payment:cash:machine is suggested to map the status here.

Cashless payments have increased dramatically lately, specially during the COVID-19 “main years”. Still, paying in cash can be crucial as a resilience method (think internet, power, banking system outages). It can be used as a great tool to slightly improve privacy.

Overigens is het best schokkend om te ontdekken hoe ontwend men contant geld is. Ik kom best veel plekken tegen waar contant geld niet aangenomen wordt, men verbaasd is om contant geld te zien of het uitrekenen van het wisselgeld tergend traag gaat.....
Nå er det ikke lenger lov å nekte kontantbetaling. Dette er en seier for de som føler på digitalt utenforskap. Men også ift beredskap. Så er spørsmålet, hva med kollektiv transport? Enkelte steder kjører feks ikke ekspressbusser innom stoppesteder med mindre du har forhåndsbetalt via app. https://www.nettavisen.no/okonomi/ny-lov-sikrer-deg-retten-til-a-betale-med-kontanter/s/5-95-2039933 #norsktut #beredskap #utenforskap #cashisking
Globalt datatrøbbel. Da er det godt å ha kontanter i beredskap.
Dinosaurs rule, apparently.
