If you have cash and you go get a haircut for $50.
Then the hairstylist uses that $50 to buy groceries.
Then the grocery uses that $50 to buy boxes.
Then the box people use that $50 to buy wood.
The $50 keeps going.
Why the government wants to do away with cash and go to this system.
$50 minus fees.
$49 minus fees.
$48 minus fees.
Not to mention the ability to digitally print money has caused tremendous inflation and that's about to get much worse.
>Republicans say that they’re worried about invasion of privacy, that a CBDC would open the door to widespread government surveillance. But remember, these are the people who have handed over personal Medicaid data to ICE to facilitate arrests and abductions.
So proving the point literally 100%? That the USA already has widespread government surveillance and nobody ever did anything about it?
It appears so, but that 50$ doesn’t keep going. What happens, for example, when the grocery gets robbed? That 50$ becomes 0$. When money’s involved, whether it’s debit/credit or cash, there’s always a money management cost involved, and cash usually has a much higher cost than debit or credit.
How many companies use cash as a primary means of payment?

That info would be inferred from the data the phone, social media, and other surveillance companies offer. They'd know to keep an eye on you because you transact too much using cash.
