Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn’t be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.

Edit:

If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

    It isn’t illegal. They’re a private enterprise and can take payments in whatever form they choose. They can demand to be paid in roosters and it would still be legal.

    I read through all of your comments in this thread. I’m going to ask you a few questions, more for my own curiosity than anything. Feel free to answer or not, but I’ve been studying conspiracism for the past few years and I think I may be one of the most open ears around. I would say at a minimum that I have some understanding of your worldview. Not a perfect one, but some.

    Are you experiencing economic instability in your life? As in, finding it difficult to pay for things that you need?

    Do you feel lost or disconnected from others? Is it hard to form connections with people because your worldview is so different?

    Is there some other unmet need in your life? If so, can you articulate it or is it difficult to put into words?

    I’m not asking these questions to be patronizing. I’m asking them because they’re humanizing and help me get a better understanding of the person on the other side of the screen.
