The GoFundMe cancelation of the truckers' money should make you all aware of how a cashless society will work. The government gets mad at you and they wipe out your money. The end. Think they can't get mad at you, you're a good citizen? Welcome to the social credit system.

The twist in this plot is that "private companies" such as GoFundMe, (also PayPal, Square, et. al.) are taking over many of the functions previously assigned to banks and bankers. They are unfettered by government regulation. We have been told repeatedly: "It is a private company and they can do whatever they want." Clearly, however, they are not acting independently. They act in concert with one another so there must be some overseeing power directing them. Hmmmmmmm......

The banks are private companies, too. Even the federal reserve. And banks have banned people from their services for violations of their ToS, too.

Alex Jones, Joe Biggs, Andrew Anglin, and many others.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that it was the banks threatening to terminate GoFundMe 's payment processing ability if they didn't comply with Ottawa demands.

Yeah I am aware that the Fed and all the banks are also private businesses and they can and will refuse to serve people (another prime example is Andrew Torba), but there is at least a guise of "legal regulation" over banks. And of course the FDIC insurance scheme. I agree I would not be surprised at anything either, all I was saying is these online financial operators are even less accountable than the banksters.

I had a strange banking experience a couple of weeks ago that seems to fit within the "the cash we allow you to have will be limited" category. So here's what happened: I gave a check to a guy for a thing. It was not a ridiculous amount but more than would be day-to-day typical. Let's call it $9,000. The guy didn't want to wait on his bank to do the deposit and presentment thing so he went to my bank to cash it. It's made payable to his order, he has ID, and it's properly endorsed (properly executed for you legal types) so should be no problem. "Go ahead," I say.

About 30 minutes later I get a call from the guy. He says, "They won't cash the check." I was confused because the money was there and I have written checks of similar amount before with no issues. So I call the bank and ask what gives. The response I get is, "We don't cash out anything more than $1,000 for non-account holders, and if you are an account holder, it is at our discretion." I have no memory of any policy like this and tell them so. The response I get is, "We dunno when it started but it is now." WTF!?

We go back and forth for a bit on why or how it is possible to refuse the demand for payment of a valid negotiable instrument drafted against a liquid deposit account in their possession, but the essence is this:

"Ok, so give the guy a cashier's check or counter check so it's guaranteed funds." "That form of payment is at our discretion and we've decided, No." "Ok, I'm coming down there to withdraw the money from my account in cash and give it to the guy myself." "That amount of cash withdrawal is at our discretion and we've decided, No." "So what's the fucking point of having a bank?" "it's a place to keep your money safe. What are you gonna do, walk around with thousands of dollars in your pockets or a pickle jar?" "If I can't get my own money out of my own account then yeah, I may as well, as it seems to be my only option." "Why don't you just write a check."

WTF!?!

BTW, bankers are morons. Don't let the pretense or attitude fool you. They only do what they are told without having any idea of why, just like everyone else seems to be doing right now. Those 2 gallon pickle jars at Sam's are looking pretty good right now.

This is why bank runs are no longer possible.

The bank has no obligation to give to cash and can take up to 10 business days to give you any form of payment.

Did you really just take the text out of an image that was posted earlier and turn it into a text post?

The lesson of GFM was taught years ago. They've been doing this same shit for years, but retards on the right still use it. I just don't get it.

I know, retard conservatives don't understand that the left isn't stupid, they still think the left is just dumb. No the left isn't dumb, they are not acting in good faith because they are trying to destroy you. Old republicans are still playing by the rules and think the left will too.

Part of being a republican is bitch slapping the fuckers that don't play by the rules.

The lesson is to have a bitcoin address instead of a gofundme page.

Some dumbass already started a new gofuckme for the truckers. Only $800 last I looked.

the lesson is that rightists are the stupidest fucks on the planet. leftists are fully aware when a platform is owned by the 'other side' and to not engage with it. rightists can have years of their compatriots being censored and banned on a site.. then keep trying to use it. Gofundme has made it as obvious as possible over the past 5 yrs that any right wing political thing will be removed from their site.

Combine this with inflation and spending on supplies and durable goods is better than saving money in a bank. It only profits the bankers.
