In the year 2525.
Remember the song? To ad-lib it. Cash is no more. All exchanges are done via apps, chips, etc. Bank are far and few between, mostly on line and only to lend money.Your income is added to your on-line account. All debts come out of it. You must have a smart phone. The governments have the right to access your account at will. They watch where you shop, what you buy and all you do. Even at the rummage sale.
Some people sneak around and use barter. But, the sheep say they like the convenience. Until they dispute something societal or governmental. Then their account is frozen. Need food..too bad. No money for you sucker.
Sometimes the "banks" run into a glitch. You check your account and it shows zero!
You go on line and question. Chase the menu. Finally, oh..we will check and get back to you in 5 business days.
Do not get a speeding ticket. It will be paid on scene or your account is frozen. Try a protest..same thing.
Well, you say, I can control where and what my kids buy. Yep..and so can big brother control you.
1984 was not a novel..it was a warning.

We all moved hard FEMA Pharma Left on 3/11/20
And there is no going back to normal.
Not that I care since so many shows arent worth watching anyway.
I will stick to cash, checks and silver. Wait til that card gets hacked, the power goes out or the government decided you are a bad apple and locks your accounts.Ask a Chinese who the politburo decides your a dissident and locks your account so you can't even buy food. Ever hear the word "sanctions"? If not, go ask a Russian.
Digital currency is pushed by governments, corporations and the law so they know where you go, where you shop, what you buy, who you know...your nice diggi foot print. More and more the companies are coerced into coughing up your files to the law. Better watch that text you send less they think you are a terrorist.
Some guy once wrote he wanted to shoot Lydon Johnson and ended up in prison. So much for an idle threat. Now they have you on a text or email.
Military draft notices are now approved online and the bank and drivers licenses of those named are now frozen until the people show up to be issued a uniform and sent to die in Ukraine (or come home missing a foot or a hand). Life is grand inside Russia.

When electronic checkouts first came in, like you with plastic I stood my ground " all for the right reasons" not to use them... but these days, convenience stepped in along with a reality check.
I wish I could find a record I have. It is a joke one where it is modern times and an old henchman calls Hitler in South America. They talk about old times and the guy asks Hitler about this guy or that..current conditions. And to each one, he answers.."hit by a tank". So that is the safe way, at least for now, to bad mouth anyone. I hope he gets hit by a tank.
