Patriot, this is why they never wanted this information to get out. And also why they are pushing for digital currency.
If it's digital, it can be tracked as to what you purchased and where it was purchased. Stocking up on certain tools, supplies, materials, then they have an idea of what you are up to. The foot print of your residence appears to be the same but you are buying tons of concrete, and renting specific equipment? Hmmmm? Went to Home Depot and picked up 75 feet of #4 copper wire, grey electrical conduit and a subpanel? They know.
Exactly Patriot, cash was something they could not track. they could track it like ballots, but what was purchased they could not unless the item was chipped. This is about total spying in the people as it is in China.
Stores and their store discount cards with personal ID attached to the card. All purchases by individuals being uploaded to central database.
Logically, there's no legitimate reason to attach purchases to individuals to assist marketing. There is however much to be gained reselling that info to third parties but for what purpose?
