If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times, those of us with some damn sense need to beat back against the lunatics who are all FOR a cashless society as that would be the very definition of madness, insanity, what with all the hacking that’s going on all over the damn place. But thankfully, some sense prevails, at least in some parts of the country in that some government officials are quite aware that poor, Black people and elderly people rely on cash and will always do so.
D.C. Is Now Enforcing Its Cashless Business Ban: What That Could Mean for You
Last month, Washington, D.C., became the latest municipality in which most consumer-facing businesses must accept cash as payment.
The law, which went into effect October 1, 2023, represents a growing backlash by cities across the country against businesses that want to accept noncash payments only, such as credit card and digital payments. Philadelphia and New York City have similar rules in place, and Los Angeles is considering a similar measure.
Are Cashless Businesses Discriminatory?
Advocates of such bans claim that cashless businesses discriminate against unbanked and underbanked consumers, which tend to be low-income and minority populations.
“I support the bans on cashless businesses,” says Felix Shipkevich, a New York-based payments attorney. “I think it’s ridiculous that we, as a society, would even have to think about legislation that would require businesses to accept legal tender, which is accepted by our government for payment of taxes, of all debts, and for goods and services.”
Yes indeed, cashless businesses are discriminatory because whites are mostly for that shit, as well as the Asians and those Hindu cow worshipers. I was walking past a food court in one of our malls just the other day and saw a big ass sign at Panda Express stating, “No cash accepted.” Funny how no one was standing in line at Panda Express.
If a business refuses to accept cash, which has long since been established for ALL debts, both public and private, then they don’t deserve my damn business and as far as I am concerned, good riddance to bad rubbish. No business on this earth is going to tell me how to pay them, I’ll decide that. And though I have written on this subject before, it is incumbent upon me to do so yet again.
Have any of you read the headlines lately, what with severe hacking going on, left and right and the fact that since we have an antiquated power grid that has had no improvements since it was thrown up, then the chances of a major calamity befalling us thanks to that problem is highly likely. What then are you going to do as it pertains to transactions; purchasing and paying for shit when your smartphone and Zelle, Google Pay, Apple Pay and PayPal and whatever else is down? And the ATM is not working because the electricity is out? You’d better keep some damn cash on hand because many of you are stupid if you think that digital is the way to go when this fucking country has not kept up with the infrastructure to usher in a digital age.
Brazen ransomware attack on US unit of Chinese banking giant has financial sector on alert
CNN —A ransomware attack on a US unit of the powerful Industrial and Commercial Bank of China that may have contributed to a brief market sell-off on Thursday was a significant escalation for cybercriminals that underscored how big hacks can disrupt business for even the best-resourced companies, experts told CNN.
The incident immediately sparked concern among regulators and senior US and Chinese officials. It led to a flurry of behind-the-scenes coordination with the affected bank and across the financial sector about the threat.

Ransomware attack prompts multistate hospital chain to divert some emergency room patients elsewhere
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A ransomware attack has prompted a health care chain that operates 30 hospitals in six states to divert patients from at least some of its emergency rooms to other hospitals, while putting certain elective procedures on pause, the company announced.
In a statement Monday, Ardent Health Services said the attack occurred Nov. 23 and the company took its network offline, suspending user access to its information technology applications, including the software used to document patient care.
But yet, millennials and Gen Z want to go cashless since that is all they know. But thanks to the fact that there are older people who refuse to go in for this cashless nonsense, we are the last of the dinosaurs; the holdouts, not to mention, poor folks, Black people making up the majority, which means that businesses that refuse to accept cash payments are, indeed, discriminating against us.
I have said it over and over again that the shits that are running this shithole are stupid and dumb as hell since why would you screech, “Let’s go into a completely DIGITAL world,” when you know your infrastructure is raggedy as hell and that people are going to lose access to their money? It is all being planned so that we do lose access to our money and become even more dependent on those idiots who pretend to be in charge, so long as we allow them to be.
It is a sad ass shame that those of us who are underneath the economic totem pole are the ones who are going to save all asses on deck, and it is my contention that those asses should not be saved since they are dumb as hell to fall for the shit that the behind-the-scenes puppet masters are trying to put into play to fuck us all up.
Poor Black people have long since been the ones who have stopped rabid fuckery by the wealthy whites, in their tracks and we will continue to get the shit done because what y’all fuckers are up to makes no damn sense at all, but y’all are the ones who call us crazy when you don’t even have common sense. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that it would not be a good idea to initiate a cashless society when everyone and his business is getting hacked with ransomware attacks, viruses are loaded down in entire computer systems and yet banks are always touting, “online banking.” Why? So that your shit can get fucked up and they relieve you of even more of your money, especially those of us who are poor Black folks. That has always been their game plan, but we have fought back against that, and we shall prevail. The collapsing power grid will assist us in the destruction of that shit.
And don’t even get me started on the weather. When half an inch of snow can cause a massive pileup on a highway in Atlanta Georgia, like what happened a few years ago, and in Texas, they are having rolling blackouts due to their power grid issues when the weather gets cold, do you really think that it is a good idea to go completely digital with no backup plan in place? A backup plan was always in place, it’s called CASH! Fucking use it already and ditch this digital nonsense before it is too late!!!
