“How many people don’t have a bank account? And just how difficult has it become to live without one?
These questions are becoming increasingly important as more businesses refuse to take cash in cities across the U.S. People without bank accounts are shut out from stores and restaurants that refuse to accept cash.
As it happens, a lot of people are still ‘unbanked’: roughly 6 million in the U.S., the latest data shows, which is about the population of Wisconsin. And outside of the U.S., more than a billion people don’t have a bank account.
I am a business school professor who researches society’s transition from cash to electronic payments. I recently visited Seattle and was amazed by the mixed signals I saw in many storefronts. Numerous shops had one sign proudly proclaiming how welcoming and inclusive they were — next to another sign saying ‘No cash accepted.’ This tells people without bank accounts that they aren’t welcome.
THINGS TO PONDER:
Let’s set aside the class war overtones of this article for a moment, and take a look at something much more sinister…
The war on economic freedom is the real battle.
Cash is being positioned as dangerous because of COVID, and outdated because of technology…
And poor people who are unbanked are simply collateral damage.
So now, if you want to support a business by using cash so that they don’t have to pay card fees, you can’t do that…
Nor can you maintain your privacy in a transaction.
That’s part of a much bigger plan, namely the rapid introduction of a #CBDC.
Now they are letting you know that you’ll conform… or else.
Know. Your Foe.
Did you realize that something like a solar flare can knock out your electronics? Or kill your car?
Yes, you could be partying like it’s 1859 in the snap of a finger…
Yikes.

“Texas has vowed to fight the Supreme Court's decision on Monday to allow Border Patrol agents to cut razor wire that the state installed on the US-Mexico border.
The justices, by a 5-4 vote, granted an emergency appeal from the Biden administration, which has been in an escalating standoff at the border with Texas and had objected to an appellate ruling in favor of the state.
It comes after outrage when three migrants drowned at the Texas border after agents were "barred" from rescuing them.
The concertina wire along roughly 30 miles (48 kilometers) of the Rio Grande near the border city of Eagle Pass is part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s broader fight with the administration over immigration enforcement.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a post on X on Monday: ‘The Supreme Court’s temporary order allows Biden to continue his illegal effort to aid the foreign invasion of America. The destruction of Texas’s border barriers will not help enforce the law or keep American citizens safe. This fight is not over, and I look forward to defending our state’s sovereignty.’
Abbott also has authorized installing floating barriers in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass and allowed troopers to arrest and jail thousands of migrants on trespassing charges. The administration also is challenging those actions in federal court.
A federal appeals court last month forced federal agents to stop cutting the concertina wire. Large numbers of migrants have crossed at Eagle Pass in recent months.”
THINGS TO PONDER:
As we shared yesterday, you’re seeing the seeds being sewn for conflict, right here, right now.
The US Federal Government has failed to protect a state border, which is one of the few powers they have actually been given by the states…
Texas has exercised its rights to step in and defend itself…
And the SCOTUS just said that they can’t do it.
Where do you think that ends up?
Reminder: The SCOTUS doesn’t “rule” on anything… they offer opinions that have historically been taken as gospel.
You are going to need to brush up on your civics in this battle.
Brace For Impact.
A big welcome to our newest sponsor, Dr. Killigan’s Pest Control!
Got issues with critters? Sick of using things that can easily make you sick or kill you?
Dr. Killigan’s is THE all-natural solution. Check out what a customer had to say about their “Six Feet Under” non-toxic insect spray:
“I bought this to get rid of the ants that built a nest in my flagstone patio and sidewalk. I have granddaughters and pets, and I didn't want to use chemicals that could make them sick if they were exposed. I've used other natural pesticides in the past with mild success but this stuff definitely does the trick! I've only had to spray one time over a month ago...still no sign of the ants returning. 10/10, will be purchasing more.”

“The annual update of the Doomsday Clock was announced at 10 a.m. this morning in Washington, DC.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced that the Doomsday Clock this year was set to 90 seconds to midnight — for the second year in a row, ‘reflecting the continued state of unprecedented danger the world faces.’
Last year, the clock was also set to 90 seconds to midnight — the closest it’s ever been to midnight in the history of the clock.
‘Make no mistake: resetting the Clock at 90 seconds to midnight is not an indication that the world is stable. Quite the opposite. It’s urgent for governments and communities around the world to act.
And the Bulletin remains hopeful—and inspired—in seeing the younger generations leading the charge,’Rachel Bronson, PhD, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said in a statement.
The Doomsday Clock statement reads: ‘Ominous trends continue to point the world toward global catastrophe. The war in Ukraine and the widespread and growing reliance on nuclear weapons increase the risk of nuclear escalation. China, Russia, and the United States are all spending huge sums to expand or modernize their nuclear arsenals, adding to the ever-present danger of nuclear war through mistake or miscalculation.’”
THINGS TO PONDER:
Sorry, we couldn’t help it…
It’s that kind of day.
While the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists organization is a bit…um… kooky(?), we have to give them credit…
The ability to sum up the vapid, corrupt, soulless leadership around the world that gets us to the point of armageddon, and show it through a clock’s vicinity to midnight is pretty genius…
