These are Dave Ramsey’s comments about going cashless. No one has explained it better. He brings up several situations most of us had never considered. For those who may not know, Dave Ramsey is an American radio personality who offers financial advice.
No cash means absolutely NO CASH. So try this… the next store you go in and order a drink or want to buy their product and they tell you “card only”, walk away. I have done this out of principle, and will continue to do so.
Dave Ramsey repost:
HERE'S WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here & there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:
* If you are struggling with your mortgage in a particular month, you can’t do an odd job to get you through.
* Your child can’t go & help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash.
* No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays.
* No more money in birthday cards.
* No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money & to learn about the value of earning.
* No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting $20 a week away for.
* No more little jobs on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table.
* No more charity collections.
* No more selling bits & pieces from your home that you no longer want/need for a bit of cash in return.
* No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones.
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements & actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you, which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered & five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare & be taxed on every dollar in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can & cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.
Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time & it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.
If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card.
Cash is legal tender; it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to deposit cash.
Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption & hidden agendas.
Pay with cash & please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.
You are welcome to share this 😊

Every carbohydrate on the government's plate is sugar in a costume, and your blood cannot read labels.
Bread is sugar wearing a crust.
Pasta is sugar wearing a sauce.
Rice is sugar wearing a grain.
A jacket potato is sugar wearing a jacket.
Cornflakes are sugar wearing a cardboard box with a cockerel on it.
Wholemeal bread is sugar wearing a jumper.
Porridge is sugar wearing a Scottish accent.
Granola is sugar wearing a lanyard.
A smoothie is sugar wearing gym kit.
Rice cakes are sugar wearing a diet.
Every one of them is a chain of glucose molecules holding hands, and the moment it hits your gut the chain lets go. By the time it reaches your blood there is no crust, no jumper and no lanyard. There is glucose, and the pancreas does not ask where it came from.
The costume is for you. The sugar is for your bloodstream.

The nerve of this bitch.
Electricity has gone up 46% under her watch. Gas taxes are up 67%. The state budget has increased 50% (with no underlying financial support).
MAGA did not create this train wreck. Democrats did.

They took memory cards from us and made us pay for storage. They took CDs and DVDs and made us pay for streaming. They took software you could buy once and turned it into a monthly subscription. They took ownership, convenience, and basically everything that used to be a one-time purchase… then somehow made us pay for it every month.

Small lips, undefined eyebrows, no exaggerated cheekbones, a smile without veneers or teeth that look like they've been washed with dish soap, no false eyelashes, natural hair color. Let's go back to basics.

- You: "My stocks went up 10%."
- Government: "Congratulations! That's taxable."
- You: "But inflation was 8%. I only really gained 2%."
- Government: "We tax the full 10%."
- You: "You tax the inflation you created?"
- Government: "Capital gains are capital gains."
- You: "So you profit from debasing my money twice?"
- Government: "You're not an economist."

There should be 13 months w 28 days in each month.
Each month would have 4 weeks that start with Monday and end with Sunday.
Sept is 7, Oct is 8, Nov is 9 Dec is 10
11 should be Jan
12 Feb
13 March
New years should be the spring when the life returns.
April fools is New Year’s Day and the joke is we are the fools for thinking it’s the dead of winter
Whoever fucked up the calendar is an asshole.
I would just live my life the right way but the whole point of calendars is to communicate with others so it would be pointless.
It’s crazy that this just happened

Dear @PGATOUR
Today Marcus Plunkett, who defended our country for 5 years after graduating from West Pointe, including a 6-month deployment to Afghinistan qualified for the Open Championship.
Austen Truslow did too, he's been a pro for 11 years had KFT status in 2020 and a freak run of bad luck ended his season and his time on KFT.
Both played the Asian Tour this year. They also both played in LIV Q-school. Not because they love LIV or hate the PGA Tour, they just wanted a place to play.
Neither got thru LIV Q-school, neither has ever played a LIV event. But because they went to Q-school they have been suspended for a calendar year despite not being a member. Now neither can go to PGA Tour Q-school.
I understand why you have something in place for members that left, and yes they knew this was a possiblity, I just ask that you reconsider.
All they ask is a chance to play Q-school at the end of this year. Again, they just want a place to play.
Thanks for your consideration.

We tax cigarettes to reduce smoking.
We tax alcohol to reduce drinking.
We tax fuel to reduce driving.
What do you think happens when you tax employing people and running a business?

This is completely true and I wish I had not waited so long to have children. It’s a tragedy. My mother will be 80 when my son is 18. Besides that the longer you wait the less time you have with your own children yourself. There is this assumption that you will live to old age.

The DINK lifestyle doesn't end with a tragedy. It ends with a quiet closing. The last of a line. A nursing home. A small funeral. No children.
Every civilization that chose comfort over children said goodbye the same way.
We're next, unless we choose differently.

Two glasses of wine. Didn't get drunk. Couldn't function for three days. This is being celebrated as self-awareness.
A healthy 33-year-old body should metabolize two glasses of wine and recover by morning. Billions of people throughout history did exactly that while building civilizations, fighting wars, and running companies. Bartlett has restricted his inputs so aggressively that a single normal human experience sent his entire system into a 72-hour reboot.
Engineers call this brittleness. A system optimized exclusively for peak performance under ideal conditions that shatters the moment conditions change. The opposite of antifragile. Remove every stressor for long enough and your body loses the ability to absorb even minor ones.
The generation that tracks every HRV reading, weighs every macro, and sleeps in temperature-controlled darkness has accidentally built the most fragile humans in history. Previous generations drank, ate badly, slept rough, and still recovered because constant low-level stress kept their systems adaptable.
Two glasses of wine registered as a catastrophic shock because he's spent three years stripping every form of variance from his life. A body that can only perform under perfect conditions is the definition of a fragile system.
Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life
“It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again”
“It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused”
“I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”
