How would you like to handle the paper? They'll still have to handle it and drive through will be a bitch but I can understand the cutting down on face to face.
Although I'm against a totally cashless transaction system, It's all I'll be using for the forseeable future. Should be a breeze as I've only been out once in the past week.
Everybody just needs to slow down. Life will go on......for most.
from Rogue Credit Union:
EFFECTIVE MONDAY, MARCH 23
FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR TEAM AND OUR COMMUNITY, BRANCH SERVICES AT ALL LOCATIONS ARE OPEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

I have been doing this for about four decades, but that's because I know how the system actually works. And I like my friends at the Credit Union.
Stay safe, and we will see you on the other side.

still open with reduced hours. If that changes we'll figure something out. I, too, like the people at the credit union...except for maybe one guy who acts like he has too much bank experience.
For the time being we're cutting back on using physical money so we don't need the ATM. What a world!
Is that you can’t give money to beggars. I know some Scandinavian countries have electronic alms systems, but ‘murica - that bastion of technological whizz-bangery - doesn’t have such a system. I actually got into an argument with a family member today about paying cash for something in a coffee shop. I wanted to break a $20 for alms change but they wanted to pay $5 and put the change in the tip jar. What a messed up choice!

That was one of the first things discussed this last year. If we could get the post office BACK into the game, we would be getting on a fast track to transforming our monetary system.
But change is so scary if it doesn't fit into our preconceptions.

There's the addled fellow with his dog, the ex-heroin user who has no job skills at 60, the artist with a prosthetic left foot (and not a very good one, either), the guy who always asks for 80 cents, and others.
We used to give them a dollar, sometimes two. Now I look to see if I've got a fiver in my pocket. I'm thinking of occasionally going to twenty. As one said to me yesterday "there are fewer people walking the streets now".

Trump is pushing chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) as both curative and possibly preventive. Fauci pushes back. He is trying to test the drugs in a scientific double-blinded randomized controlled study (RCTS). This is indeed the gold standard to ascertain efficacy and safety in new drug uses, even if the drug is already in use for other indications.
But, in this time of looming economic disaster, let us for the moment disregard Fauci's dire protestations. Suppose your house is on fire. The fire department comes to your flaming abode and inquires of the owner: do you think this structure could withstand the application of our high-powered water pumps or do you think it would damage the structure?
After the owner regains composure, he blurts out: "spray the goddam place! If the water knocks down the house, the outcome won't be worse than letting the fire consume it".

in dogs we trust
all others -- pay cash
think we need to invent a new monetary system
which does not include the govt or banks
call it good will credit chits
for the people
It's called public banking.
For many years North Dakota has had the Bank of North DakotaUsual Warning.
You should read some of its history.
RIP
have done that
it is where I got my first credit card
after paying cash eternally
(no credit record)
a good system
would like to see the postal service
deliver the same type of goods
again
congress can't seem to approve it
We have a study group here.
That was one of the first things discussed this last year. If we could get the post office BACK into the game, we would be getting on a fast track to transforming our monetary system.

RIP
fear is only the first obstacle
conquering congress is more
of a challenge
Americans
are so fucking brainwashed against anything done by government. Reagan started that ball rolling.

we've got cash on hand and that's exactly what we use it for

We're the only ones being managed
This article says it better than I can. The title is the only thing I'll quote:
"How Did Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden Screw This Up?"

Bernie suspended too soon. There is no leadership. There will be bipartisan blood on their hands.
It could well be part of the plan.
It's all part of the re-elect Herr Drumpf campaign.
