Why talk about Catalyst and the Better than Cash Alliance? Who are they? No mention of PayTM, which had no significant US investment until well after demonetization was over and done? Neither you nor your source have any idea who the real players are or who is influencing who. If you think Bill Gates and other US NGOs somehow have a lot of pull with Modi and the BJP, you and Norbert are utterly clueless. |

What matters is what they do. Not hat they say. Neither you nor your source have any idea who the real players are or who is influencing who.

Or so they say. A third of their GNP cmes from selling 'services' like software, and engineering is one too. I honestly don't really care that much. I just dont want them behind the scenes lobbying to do something that so obviously seems like a truly horrible policy because of the trade deals that lock all deregulation in which we have signed. Like a ratchet or fish trap. or noose, they lock in. . You didnt know that, I bet. TISA is even worse. GATS which is already in place is bad enough, but TISA is potentially much worse. and it would lock all this in forever. We could not get rid of it, by voting because voting can't unlock it. ever. Just like the millions of good jobs -It becomes corporations property to make worse and worse forever. High skill jobs that would be gone for good. Its highly undemocratic and unfair. That's the main point. Haering has a lot more stories on his war on cash.. topic tag Cash, Kisses and Karaoke: Why the War on Covid must not become a War on Cash June 19, 2020 | Covid-19 is being mobilised by the financial industry to push their War on Cash even further, leaving us ever more ensnared within their private digital money empire, writes Brett Scott in this guest article. War on Cash in Germany: Parliament is Looking for Anti-Cash-Experts February 6, 20202 For its project “World Without Cash”, a Bundestag-committee is inviting bids for an expert opinion that should help pave the way to a cashless future and free the population from their “cash obsession”. … Anti-cash warrior Summers finally discloses his enormous conflicts of interest For years, former treasury secretary and Harvard-professor Larry Summers has been the most prominent voice in favor of getting rid of cash.

But this is a campaign that’s been going on for at least eight years. Hakon von Holst took a closer look at its beginnings. At the center: media that trumpet any interest-driven trash […] |

Cash does not pose a health threat, so long you have.. change. If you pay exact you will never receive anything back. Contactless and secure, no need to touch a keypad. The clerk is there all day so he has gloves. And you can always tell them to keep the change if your wealthy. This is all because people want things to be flat. The bank should sterilize it for you. A health threat is your bank account going down because you used a credit card for a 5$ transaction in a store and it got stolen. Constantly being vigilant about a bank account because you can't keep track of how many places your working with is stressful (like checking another email account, guess what, its proven unhealthy), and it makes investigations difficult in finding where the theft is occurring because there are so many possibilities. The app is stressful too, because you need to manage it, and they can get hacked too. |

A sudden interest in computer science from this social group :scared: It might pay off to keep the status quo instead of forcing the threat to evolve (you damn well know its not gonna change peoples mentality, they will just adapt), you can say the problem is managed sufficiently right now, this is like forcing forest animals learn how to start fires and use knives. What was growling and urination marks turns into arson investigations. Advanced technology does not seem to effect crime very much (i.e. japan), it maybe just makes it a little less visible. |
