do we really need a money system?

114. Still don't need cash for that. All of that could be harnessed by other methods of energy.

those should also have mandatory generators or some other form
(or be located in varied places where a local event won't stop it).

and while the lights, cable tv and phones that came from the "triple play" all were down in Sandy,
smart phones and cell phones worked, as did (for those with cars, the ability to charge up things in their car

(and had we all listened to Jimmy Carter and not had democratic voters who voted for Ronald Reagan or John Anderson in 1980,
or mad that Teddy didn't get the nomination, and we all had reelected Jimmy Carter, by now I bet 100% of the people could
be driving cars in America that used zero gas.

One now can just get an ap and put their check in and instantly it is in the account.
One doesn't need to be reliant on electricity, and if the ATM is working (and if in a storm, it is working,but the people who

No, cash is outdated and not needed at all.

There is an end around to every problem, because taken to the extreme, most people do NOT have access to enough cash to
get them through more than a very short period anyhow.

If you get rid of cash/coins, then if you asked me, it would take away an extremely large portion of street crime knowing that
someone is not going to be able to take one penny from anyone.

More important is to get away from the need of gas and find a different way to power everything.

(btw, I think in the next 10-20 years, no one will have the need for a physical credit card/debit card at all, that too will be passé.)
