I'm thinking of people like Andrew Anglin and EDIT
Mark Collett, the latter who I see last week had his bank accounts terminated for saying things the system doesn't approve of what they express.

When people get blacklisted, all the banking structures are shutting them down with more frequency. All the major industries eventually blend into 3-4 mega-companies like they did with the news houses or appliance manufacturers. The banking structures aren't different. Banishment of wrong think is the new wave.

I think I have about a dollah fity in my wallet right now, because sometimes ya just need a dollah fity..



Ransomeware is more and more prevalent, taking down systems. Once our pharmacy was down and couldn't process cards, but I had the cash in my pocket.
I almost always use cash. Facebook, all social media, grocery store rewards cards, I avoid all. I make a few purchases on debit card when I'm thin on cash and time is important.

They're already demonetizing people for wrong think.



Agreed.

I don't use banks, I use credit unions, and at least here if you try to open a new account they will look at your social media and if its "wrongthink" you aren't getting the account. (or loan or credit card or whatever). They are terrified cancel culture will come and bite them in the ass, so its easier to just deny obvious wrongthinkers.
