Well . . . Cash IS King!
Could always try using baseball cards as currency.

Well, I read on the Internet that I will be underwater in ten years unless I repent my beliefs, I am treating that as the gospel truth.

Statistics can also be twisted to fit a narrative, which is maybe what the person who made that meme did. I really don't know, because they didn't state their source, but the first statement in that meme appears to be BS, so how can you trust the rest of it? Here is the direct link, which may be difficult to explain away: https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/arctic-sea-ice/ The meme in question Last edited by CW; 07-13-2023 at 06:53 PM.

I don't see a major problem unless there's a prolonged outage nationwide. All the critical systems have power backups. So while the ATM or point of sale terminal might be down for lack of power - and in some case the stores have backup power- there won't be much disruption. If it's 100% of the country and lasts a week or more, maybe? But the account info is probably also on servers that aren't US based.
Consider how long parts of Texas were without power, and unless you dealt directly in those areas or lived there, there wasn't much impact at all. I do see some things shifting gradually to cash. After years of me resisting using my debit card for anything, (very early on there were fees to use it.) I finally stopped insisting on getting cash. Like going to the bank and writing out a check to cash and cashing it like the olden times .... As soon as I do though one of my favorite sub shops went back to cash only with a fee charging ATM inside the place. And during the pandemic, another favorite restaurant went cash only for eat in but still takes cards for pickup. Both said it was because of the processing fees.

Thank you Steve, I appreciate your thoughts on this. I also noticed a few places lately having signs saying "cash only" (but they also have an ATM inside to get cash) and I even saw a restaurant that said on the menu that if you pay cash, the price is cheaper and at my local gas station if you pay cash the price is cheaper.

Like any other cash-involved business, a huge amount of restaurant cash sales go unreported for tax purposes.
Processing fees for a merchant-based credit card system shouldn't be more than 3% plus maybe a transaction fee of 20-50 cents. That's about a $1-1.50 on a $30 order. If they are paying more than that they are getting robbed by their processor. Quote:
