I would say I am glad I dont live there..... sadly this is the direction everywhere is moving....

I have been saying for 2 decades...when they outlaw money I am done with society....we are very close to a cash-free society...I thought it was gonna happen around when I would be 55 or so...now I think it will be before that....

I and most of my kids....are prepared and know what we will do....


I know..... I know...many of you will say  "INK you are dumb...paranoid....conspiracy nutcase....... wacka doodle"


I truly wish the Truth for everyone of you....yes even skyrr and chalange!

Snopes seems to think the first is not very accurate, at least ad read there, but sadly, they have even tried the second one right here in Lebanon NH Ink. Claimed safety issues of them collecting at intersections. It made even more people stop to help.

I do not think that the first issue is going to pass muster.  States can restrict you from paying your toll road fee with pennies, but that is based on public safety issues.  (There is some amount of pennies that businesses can refuse to accept, but I do not remember if it is a State or Federal law and what the amount is).

Panhandling, yep, these things come up all the time.  Because panhandling is considered commercial activity, states and locals have a lot of leeway here.  I believe that civil liberty types fight these issues in court based on discrimination laws.

To me what is "You Are Out of Your Mind" are Civil Forfeiture or Asset Forfeiture laws:

Ink, we all go thru some rough times.  I am going thru one myself right now.  everyday there's someplace where there's somebody getting murdered, kicked, raped, you name it...

in past month I had an ex girlfriend kill herself, old friend from high school, die, broke up with this great girl due to her mental illness.

crap happens.  we gotta go on, that's life.

That first law is directed so that unscrupulous recycling businesses do not pay cash for metal.  There is a tremendous problem with people stealing items and scrapping them for the core value of the metals.  This bill forces the buyer to record the name and address of the seller.  It does not apply to all transactions from all people.

We had a similar bill go into law here in Michigan, payments over $25.00 could not be in cash. The first thing it did was lower the price paid for a catalytic converter by about 75%,

Have a friend who owns a scrapyard and he is grinning all the way to the bank.

All great Civilizations fall at some point. Its those who are prepared who live on. I agree all over the us things are falling apart, more so than your average Joe can see. However some things just aren't worth preparing for.
