A glimpse at a cashless society September 16, 2013 8:16 pm RobVG

Here’s an introduction.

You know our system is built on a thinly covered sink hole. You’d be lying if you said you don’t see a total collapse in the future. During the recession, the Fed printed 16 trillion dollars and doled it out to foreign banks and corporations. This is on top of the billions they print monthly in “quantitative easing”.

You can paint your own picture of the aftermath but a cashless economy appeals to me. Unfortunately it will probably not sprout above the muck of anarchy.
