    Currency transaction reports and suspicious transaction reports, do they not sound like something the Stasi would demand in communist East Germany?

    No. Not in the slightest. They’re a response to crimes of capitalism committed by capitalists governed by capitalists. If making sure everyone gets equity means people moving about 20% of the median American yearly salary have to be transparent, I’m okay with that.

    In Australia some companies --banks-- are starting to refuse taking/using cash. Killing privacy, slowly. Most normies can’t see how that and will be used to track you.

    In Canada, the Feds changed the law 2 years ago. They can now lock you out of your bank accounts without a court order. Which was needed before.
