All the people in control of money via banks and credit cards will force it.

Until we rebuild local governing townships and forget globalization (if you can't source it locally then we don't need it), they will always have the power.

The really bad thing is, there are people who think like we do, but aren't willing to give up the niceties of life.

I'm ready to go back to prejew world. But very few are willing to give up luxury for it.

How? The police are demoralized, and the military's unlikely to step in to stop a general disobedient but peaceful population.

If a general strike, disruption happens because of election irregularities, what message can they take away? Their niceties are going to dwindle as trucking strikes happen and as people refuse to pay taxes.

How do you get paid? You get a check that says the bank will transfer money from account to your account. Same way PayPal, visa and MasterCard stopped allowing money to process. If you can't get paid you have no money. And most businesses that are still in business aren't mom and pop shops who would be willing to pay in cash.

Want something shipped but there's a shortage on shipping? Those that are on strike are willing to ship, but only for cash. What are you going to do? Wait for a normal trucking firm, or shell out cold hard cash?

There's noting to stop people from re-igniting a cash economy, or to create alternative currencies. Hell, states could go back to minting gold and silver coins.

That is what needs to happen.

Stores can create their own store coupons-aka cash. The halal system is pure trust, so religious groups etc. can make a cash system. No need for global cash.
