Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn’t be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.

Edit:

If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

            Yup, depression never existed in pastoral settings.

            Anything else you think needed a casual erasure while we’re at it?

            Good to know that my panic disorder that causes random panic attacks is just a product of our new-fangled world.

        Dude, I grew up in a rural area, people living there are the ones that need to be more aware of mental health issues. Just because someone isn’t diagnosed and under proper treatment doesn’t mean they aren’t ill.
