Crooks vs. Fools in the Cashless Society
"Please do not count only on your ATM cards and on ATMs, but take a larger amount of cash with you."
"I have a question about the recommendation to hold cash."If countries are putting controls on real cash and banking, in what form should a person hold cash? US Dollars or some other currency. If we truly go to a "cashless society" what good would having a hoard of cash do?"
"Someone had blown up a German truck as it went through town. People were doing that. Taking pot shots at the Germans. The SS didn't like it. They would gather up the mayor and a few other people. If they didn't turn over the guilty person, they would kill the mayor. Or sometimes the whole town."My father got a message that told him he was supposed to go to the town square. Instead, he went into the woods. It's a good thing he did. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here."
