WHEN YOU PAY DIGITALLY MOST OF THE MONEY GOES TO THE BANKS NOT YOUR COMMUNITY!
"I copied this from someone else. Very interesting and it really made me stop and think about using cash more often. I have really never thought of this has anyone else? 💲Please understand what NOT using cash is doing. Cash is important. 💸 Why should we pay cash everywhere we can with banknotes instead of a credit card? 💳 - I have a $50 banknote in my pocket. Going to a restaurant and paying for dinner with it. The restaurant owner then uses the bill to pay for the laundry. The laundry owner then uses the bill to pay the barber. The barber will then use the bill for shopping. After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a $50, which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment and the bank has jumped dry from every cash payment transaction made... - But if I come to a restaurant and pay digitally - Card, and bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around $1.50 and so will the fee $1.50 for each further payment transaction or owner re laundry or payments of the owner of the laundry shop, or payments of the barber etc..... Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial $50 will remain only $5 😫 and the remaining $45 became the property of the bank 🏦 thanks to all digital transactions and fees. Small businesses need your help and this is one way to help ourselves too. Pull small draws of cash out at a time and use that instead of tap, credit, etc. When this is put into perspective, imagine what each retailer is paying on a monthly basis in fees at 3% per transaction through their POS machine. If they have, for example, $50,000 in sales & 90% are by Card, they are paying $1500 in fees in ONE Month. $18,000 in a year! That comes out of their income every month. That would go a long way to helping that small business provide for its family!🏦♥️" got this from a good friend"
"On the west coast they do not have vote polling locations anymore. They only have drop boxes. The voting centers are only for people who need assistance. This is why the west coast shows up blue. Do you understand?" 💙💙💙 T 💙💙💙 @NewsBud_says https://x.com/NewsBud_says/status/1851063139489738832
"I recently moved from Portland, OR after living there most my life. Today, ballot drop boxes were burnt and I guarantee you it was ANTIFA. They are at the extreme end of things, but there are many others who will do things in the shadows to keep 'orange Hitler' from winning."

"Huh? These were burned in my state Wa and in Oregon. Antifa is headquartered here and this is what they do. Let me guess, you have no idea what is happening in the news concerning destroying ballot boxes here. Catch up" Gmacarol2023 @Carolyn26591696 https://x.com/Carolyn26591696/status/1851067075718181123
Circulating posts from Antifa indicate this was likely the work of Antifa and/or similar groups.
* A ballot box at 3510 S.E. 164th Ave in Vancouver, Washington, in Clark County set on fire.. Most ballots were destroyed. Clark County WA is traditionally red.
* n Clark County, Nevada ballot drop box at Fisher's Landing Transit Center was lit on fire, Monday, Oct 28.
* 3 ballots were destroyed in Portland, Oregon
Some reports say that the ballot boxes were in conservative areas in the cities.
The attacks came suspiciously at a time when it become clear that Trump is likely to win the popular vote. If you watch Antifa online, they've been planning something like this since July.
@teratology@anemone@meso Bullshit. You don't know anything about the origins of Radical Feminism and you've obviously never read Engels. Why do you keep talking about things you clearly know NOTHING about? You're not convincing anyone.
@teratology@Arcana@marine@anemone@coolboymew@meso Did you ever speak to Andrea Dworkin in person? Because I did. The more you type the more you demonstrate your ignorance. You're that person that got kicked out of all the Native forums a couple years ago for being a pest and obsessing about Palestine all the time aren't you? You've probably never even seen a real Indigenous person in your life.
