A reminder that your consumer dollars have power. Shut the spending down. If the orange one can withhold

[Hotler]

we can withhold also. Shut down credit card usage, merchants and businesses are now pushing the credit card processing fees onto the consumer. Use your credit card and you give 2%-3% of your purchase to the bank. Stop giving the banks your money.

3. Lots of places do not take cash.

4. True, but many still do. Worth doing our best to drive this point home, right?

So, we go to local stores, flea markets, etc. Like we all used to do before we just buy online.

Again, doing our best. We can try to get our necessities ahead of Nov 25th as well. Not everyone can do this, but anyone who can, why not try.

They only hear and speak money, and it's only a one-way conversation at that. We can be heard this way.

Apply the serenity prayer: the courage to change the things I can.

It's time.

6. I have yet to run in to one.

5. The economy is cooked IMO

These last 2 months of no jobs numbers because of the shutdown are masking how bad it's getting. We're seeing massive layoffs like we saw during the Bush Great Recession. October saw more job cuts than any October in 20 years.

And it's very broad. Small businesses closing shop, large businesses with big layoffs. And job seekers right now are getting desperate, people with excellent resumes are going on 6 months with no luck.
