Hate carrying cash. Hate going to places that don't accept cards.
Works for me.
Nobody really needs cash, unless they're doing something untoward with it that they don't want tracing. Unlucky, don't break the law.
A pain in the arse for tradesmen, but things like paypal etc offer an easy resolution.
Wrong.
I just value my privacy.
It's my human right to not want corporations knowing what I'm doing.
Has nothing to do with legal or illegal activities.
Everyone has a right to value their privacy and its none of their fucking business.
I can see it In years to come, the bloke who would go for a cheeky pint a few times per week, in a cashless society, when he hits 50 and has health issues, The NHS will then turn around to him and say:
"Mr John Smith, it shows your purchase history here as being what we define as a heavy drinker. Thus you will be placed lower on the waiting list for surgery, left to rot on the hospital corridor and not given a proper treatment you piss head"
Whilst the Rich continue to avoid tax and pay a low percentage, with no punishment as they can afford a decent legal team.
Us working class poor bastards will be punished for Tax "evasion" and thrown in prison or whatever.
William the Window Cleaner will have his hands chopped off for not declaring the £5 he took off you for cleaning your windows, yet Prince William with millions in offshore income won't have anything said against him.
Fuck Them All.
This is probably the main reason why I'm starting to go off football.
This big divide between the rich and the poor, more evident in the sport I love.
Seeing mega rich owners stashing their money elsewhere, players on crazy money, yet I'm still fucking skint, paying them a higher percentage of my income to watch them.
Naaa....I'm getting tired of this Gap.
