How about you provide support for your statement IF you are right.

OK, well then . . . . My friend who owns a Pawn Shop said he pretty much HAD to remain open during last year's lock down because here in Texas, Pawn Shops are regulated as banking institutions. They are in the business of loaning money.
Now I could be wrong on some legal technicality; I only know what I have been told by someone who is actually in the business . . . .but its not something I just
"made up".
Right or wrong on the Pawn Shop thing doesn't really matter . . .so what really.
However, actions that tend to suppress the cash economy are real. Every where you go, there is a terminal for an electronic transfer of funds. Some places simply will not take cash. One day no one will. Today, show a $100 bill to about anyone but a provider and see what happens. The government really does want to be able to track large transfers of money, Right now, how much or how low is open for debate.
A year or so ago I bought expensive perfume at Sech's in Houston's Galleria. The sales lady asked what credit card I would use. I said "The Dead eadPresident's CC" and pulled out Grants and Jacksons. She almost shit her pants and had to get a supervisor the deal with it.
