District officials want to find out who “uncommonly antagonistic” individuals are by tracing requests for public records, while federal government paints cash users as potential terrorists

Residents of Discovery Bay, California will be the first in the country to be officially denied the right to use cash to pay for public services, in a move that echoes the Department of Homeland Security’s drive to depict those who use physical money as potential terrorists.

As reported by the Contra Costa Times recently, from May onwards, residents will no long be allowed to pay water bills or purchase park permits after the Discovery Bay Community Services District board voted to ban cash transactions for all services.

Anyone paying for such public services must do so with a credit/debit card, a check or money order.

The declaration on all US money bills that “This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private” will no longer apply in Discovery Bay when it comes to paying the government.

How will all the homeless people in Discovery Bay pay for their government services when they might not have credit/debit cards, checks, or money orders?

I don't think this is actually possible. I doubt it will stand for very long at all.

This should see the Supreme Court.

This paper money is about to be worthless and all I get are laughs.

[SMEGMA STENCH]

Well I believe it could happen. But I think they may be in for a fight in doing it. I'm pretty sure that's blatantly unconstitutional. To say that this country's money is no good here, in this country. Why not just go to some other country and try to use their money, only to have them say its no good there? Ridiculous. I refuse to play that bullshit. In the end, I don't think they can ever really get rid of the idea that paper money stands behind. To circumvent their whole attempt, all I have to do is say "I'll give you this Playstation for that cell phone..."

How are zombies gonna pay?

[SMEGMA STENCH]

See what you'll do is you'll loot the zombies, that way whatever they had on them goes to help pay your way. When people die sometimes they still have wallets and phones and even guns on them. Even car keys to expensive cars. That you could drive and that have stuff in them. Looting zombies could potentially be very lucrative.

LOL! If anything is unconstitutional, it's the currency we use.

Another example of this is American Airlines.... You cannot pay cash for any food or beverage on the plane, plastic only. I always thought that was fucked up and illegal. How can you not accept legal tender?

It's not illegal. It's just an uncommon practice, usually with ulterior motives.

Maybe this is something the repubs need to pass as a law. That you must accept cash no matter what.
