It’s discrediting valid concerns against card-payments. It’s invalidating how great cash is.
It’s when the worst person you know makes a good point.
And things now are so Culture-Wars-y, nobody makes solid analyses any more, that when the far-right say cards are bad, everybody jumps to thinking cards are good.
yeah, I keep seeing some graffiti calling people to pay by cash in order to “stop NWO” around here. yuck.
Smells like Poland, I’ve seen a lot of “STOP NWO” “PŁAĆ GOTÓWKĄ” grafitti all over the place. Probably drawn by a singular guy seeing how similar they’ve looked and had the same color.
oh god, it’s spreading
Unfortunately, too bad I actually like using cash not just for privacy but for covenience reasons. I also like advocating for the use of cash and keeping it instead of abandoning it.
I also don’t like being extremely over reliant on technology so the WeChat ecosystem of China annoys me.
And then there’s people like that 😒
