How do I know this? I was out shopping in the toy department and noticed a Monopoly game that doesn't come with cash but rather little ATM-type cards you swipe through a reader to add value on. Now, it may seem neato, but the implications of that are clear. Oh, that, and I think I read that Monopoly was increasing the traditional denominations from 1,5,10,50,100,500 and adding a bunch of zeros on them. Also, whenever I buy food lately, I notice the teenagers are using debit or credit cards and not actual cash, even at McDonald's! They carry no cash, just like most of the people I work with, as well as my brother-in-law who never seems to have even $20 on him! Also, every **ing time I buy something with a $50 or $100 bill, the idiot behind the counter has to whip out the little ink pen validator checker like I am a ****ned counterfeiter! Hello! The US Treasury is the real counterfeiter. It just seems so odd to me that at a time when our money is so devalued, you can't easily use $100 bills or get them from any ATM that I have seen or used. WTF? I don't any example above bodes well for the future of the US and its youth. But you know what? As anachronistic as cash may be, it's individualistic and I worry that we are surrendering that individuality for the sake of convenience. 2007-12-01 12:40:33
