I'm not saying this is a tactic or that you should do the same thing, but I just got a free bagel and coffee because I wanted to use #cash and this place only takes cards. Turns out being a curmudgeonly old man is legal tender, too.

The federal government appears to be working on a direct relief measure to address steep fuel prices. According to the "Handelsblatt", citing government sources... https://news.osna.fm/?p=40396 | #news #car #cash #cut #direct

Why Are You Paying Just to Pay?

Paying to Pay | How the System Makes Money Moving Your Money
You go to work.
You get paid.
And then — almost immediately — you start paying money…

just to use that money.

In this episode of Plain Meaning, we examine how paying money became something you have to pay for.

We explore:
• What actually happens when you tap your card at a register
• Why your money doesn’t move when you think it does
• How “authorization,” “clearing,” and “settlement” really work
• What the financial system calls the “float” — and who profits from it
• Why banks are using your money long before you spend it
• The 1978 Supreme Court decision that dismantled state interest rate limits
• How federal regulators expanded fees beyond interest
• The role of the 1990s deregulation era in locking the system into place
• How government mandates pushed Americans into card-based payments
• Why faster technology didn’t make payments cheaper — only more profitable
• How countries like Brazil and Poland built systems that move money instantly and at near-zero cost

For decades, the system has been explained in simple terms:
You pay.
They get paid.
But that’s not what happens.
Your money is held.
Delayed and routed through institutions that profit from the time it spends in transit.
The delay has a name.

It’s called the float.

Watch until the end for the deeper question:
If it is now possible to move money instantly —
and at almost no cost —
why are you still paying to use your own money?

Slugile antihristului vor să interzică cash-ul pentru a se ajunge la cipuirea omenirii (pecete antihristului) Din ce se observă cam începem să trăim începutul ultimelor vremuri. Pacea va dispărea de pe Pământ și peste tot va fi haos, lucru care îl și observăm - crime, revolte în toate țările, nu se mai suportă om cu om, nu mai există credință în Dumnezeu, respect, rușine 👉 https://c.aparatorul.md/a6eq0 👈 #Apocalipsa #Înşelaţi #Cash #cipuireaomenirii #credinţă #Du...
