It’s discrediting valid concerns against card-payments. It’s invalidating how great cash is.

It’s when the worst person you know makes a good point.

And things now are so Culture-Wars-y, nobody makes solid analyses any more, that when the far-right say cards are bad, everybody jumps to thinking cards are good.

    Have you ever put cash in your wallet? It gets fat really quick. Not to mention, who wants to carry dirty coins around. Cash in general is disgusting.

      I’m imagining black and white b-roll of someone trying to stuff a crumpled up wad of bills into a wallet and fishing quarters out of a toilet.

      “There’s got to be a better way!”

          If only there were some way to exchange coins for notes…imagine if someone even invented an automated machine that could do it in seconds! But I guess that will never happen. Nope, just gotta keep hauling my sack of coins around like I’m in some old Disney cartoon…

            You do that after every single cash transaction?

            Surely there’s a long period between that and a transaction, I don’t know why I have to explain such an incredibly basic thing. This is what like every single person does.

            What a strange person.

              No, you obviously don’t do it after every transaction. You save the change until you have plenty saved up and then exchange it for bills. This is what like every single person does.

              What a strange person

                Yeah no shit. Hence why credit cards are more convenient. You asked why are you carrying coins around, you answered your own question. Why is this so difficult to comprehend.

                  You might wanna check the usernames. I never asked why you carry coins around. I don’t even carry them. I just take them home and put them in a jar to save until there’s enough to exchange

                  Okay, after reading those posts we know that this person must be cognitive limited or something. WTF, man! And you’re not even ashamed to post something like this on the internet. Why are people so passionate about it to prove their stupidity on the internet?

                  But okay, you need simple math to be able to use cash properly and there is no evidence that you have the skills for this.
