Episode 60: I’ll Pay Cash

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue

Today we look in-depth at why we should use cash as much as possible and not consent to the increasingly bold (if subtle and plausible-deniability camouflaged) suggestions by governments and big business to remove cash freedom from the people. In short, the benefits of removing cash are minor and yet the harms of doing so are enormous, and potentially even lethal to the preservation of human rights. We must keep cash alongside digital money and get the best of both worlds. Anyone who insists that cash is outdated is either unaware of the threats we face, or part of the problem. The freedom to use physical money free from Big Brother’s prying eyes is the foundation of our political independence from central authority, and simply makes for a more beautiful life. So take the time once a week to get a wad of cash out of the ATM, and whenever a cashier reaches automatically for the card machine, you can just smile and say “I’ll pay cash.”
