LOL I was thinking the same thing earlier in the thread.
There are threads over in the Security forum all the time about people being F-ed over when using credit and debit cards.
That and the fact I constantly stand in line while they fumble around with the swipe machine. Hopefully the system crashes permanently and everyone has to use cash.
Fortunately, no one ever gets stung by cash, such as by losing it, getting it stolen, or getting counterfeits. Which is why every store is just thrilled to accept $100 bills!
I'm going to assume that to go along with the fear of electronic payment systems you also have a bomb shelter in the basement stocked with canned food, water, guns'n'ammo, and a little bit of gold.
Actually, the gold may come in handy -- when we inevitably phase out cash altogether, you can start using that! And there's never any worries about using gold as currency -- I understand you verify its authenticity just by biting into it!
