while i see the sinister element to a CBDC, truth be told i stopped using cash almost a decade ago. it is just less convenient than waving a plastic card around. the factors and forces here are more than just ‘muh goobermint / private megacorp tracking me’.

i’d want digital cash in the “EthnoState” because going to an ATM before going out for a boozy night on the town was a FUCKING CHORE AND I HATED IT.

And of course for the midwits that will comment regardless of me saying the obvious bit, I am not advocating being tracked by this system nor any other. But hey, why should me being upfront get in the way of your regularly scheduled rage session? 

 >this guy is able to afford a boozy night on the town

In all seriousness, getting rid of cash will screw over the elderly so I'm for keeping it. 

 dont playa hate like that. you’d do it if you could.

on a different vein, FUCK BOOMERS. Now I really am in favour of removing cash. Don’t tell me, you and all the others suddenly get weak knees when it comes time to throw down on TBD. 

 Well yeah, with the whole being called to ministry thing I can't be for TBD, especially when the older people at church are keeping a roof over my head and food on my table. 

 fair cop i suppose. 

 I am all for taking boomers to task for what they've done though. 

 Your plan is to make sure you screw over the elderly too so you don't need to bother using an ATM? Ffs. My card chip doesn't work for more than 6 months after I get it. This is much less convenient. They charge me for new ones. 

 That is unfortunate for you. It is also not my problem. 

 It is though. You just don't realize you pay for it too. You will, if you can learn. 

 well yeah sure, but they're not doing this for convenience lol 

 never said they were; they are doing this as a cost cutting measure primarily.
