From Arstechnica:
College contact-tracing app readily leaked personal data, report finds There are ways to protect privacy in contact-tracing apps… and then there’s Albion’s. In an attempt to mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19, one Michigan college is requiring all students to install an app that will track their live locations at all times. Unfortunately, researchers have already found two major vulnerabilities in the app that can expose students’ personal and health data. Albion College informed students two weeks before the start of the fall term that they would be required to install and run the contact tracing app, called Aura. Exposure notification apps being deployed by states, based on the iOS and Android framework that Apple and Google announced earlier this year, are designed to minimize harms to privacy. That framework basically uses a phone’s Bluetooth capabilities as a proximity sensor, to see if the phone it’s installed on has been near a phone of someone who reports having tested positive for COVID-19. Aura, however, goes all in on real-time location-tracking instead, as TechCrunch reports. The app collects students’ names, location, and COVID-19 status, then generates a QR code containing that information. The code either comes up “certified” if the data indicates a student has tested negative, or “denied” if the student has a positive test or no test data. In addition to tracking students’ COVID-19 status, the app will also lock a student’s ID card and revoke access to campus buildings if it detects that a student has left campus “without permission.” Read full article
As noted in the article, invasive location tracking on college campuses is not new. Also noted – some parents and students think it’s creepy. It certainly doesn’t sound like the kind of college experience that most students would want.
In regard to internet access – using WiFi provides convenience but using a wired Ethernet connection is more secure. Wired connections also significantly reduce our exposure to harmful Electromagnetic Radiation which an increasing number of medical experts– including the World Health Organization – continue to warn is very bad for our health in all kinds of undesirable ways in addition to increased cancer risk.

activistpost--2020-08-21--Study Finds Pandemic Hasn’t Slowed Down Police Killings In 2020

A new study published this week by the American Civil Liberties Union ( ACLU ) suggests that police killings have not slowed down during the pandemic , and have even increased in some states compared to previous years .
The data analysis for the study was conducted by Justin Nix , an Associate Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice , at the University of Nebraska , in Omaha .
The data showed that there were 511 recorded police killings in the US between January and June of this year , compared with 484 during the same period in 2019 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , police across the country had already killed at least 550 people .
The numbers are not uncommon , and not the highest seen in recent years , but they are certainly high considering the current circumstances .
The researchers found that the number of people killed by police has averaged out to somewhere near 1,000 each year since 2015 .
It is hard to get accurate records of police shootings prior to 2015 because police have never openly disclosed that type of data to the public for obvious reasons .
After the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Missouri , different groups that were concerned about police brutality began to keep count on their own .
The Washington Post has its own regularly updated record of police violence , but unfortunately , like everything else on the paper ’ s website , this information is locked behind a paywall .
The researchers used the Washington Post data for their study , but there are many other websites keeping an ongoing record and they are just as accurate .
Mapping Police Violence and Killed By Police.net are often even more up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Wikipedia also keeps its own running list .
While it is certainly disturbing , it is important to keep an accurate record of the people who are killed by police because it shows the massive scale of the problem , which is exactly why police have been hesitant to hand over this data voluntarily .
Instead , journalists and activists are left to sift through media reports , social media posts , and police reports , which still may not account for every police killing .
Udi Ofer , the director of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told NBC News that he expected police killings to go down during the pandemic because the general public was having less contact with police .
“ We want to express alarm that even when the nation was on lockdown during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic … that didn ’ t stop police fatally shooting people at the same rate , ” Ofer said .
It is also important to note that the report only counted fatal on-duty shootings and not other types of incidents where victims died during or following a police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ George Floyd or Freddie Gray .
Another interesting point raised by the researchers is the fact that crime was actually significantly reduced during the pandemic , despite media reports about “ crime waves ” related to looting .
Even with a lower crime rate in most areas and fewer interactions with the public , police are still killing people at an alarming rate .

The data analysis for the study was conducted by Justin Nix, an Associate Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, at the University of Nebraska, in Omaha.
The data showed that there were 511 recorded police killings in the US between January and June of this year, compared with 484 during the same period in 2019. During this span of time in 2018, police across the country had already killed at least 550 people. The numbers are not uncommon, and not the highest seen in recent years, but they are certainly high considering the current circumstances.
The researchers found that the number of people killed by police has averaged out to somewhere near 1,000 each year since 2015. It is hard to get accurate records of police shootings prior to 2015 because police have never openly disclosed that type of data to the public for obvious reasons. After the 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, different groups that were concerned about police brutality began to keep count on their own.
The Washington Post has its own regularly updated record of police violence, but unfortunately, like everything else on the paper’s website, this information is locked behind a paywall. The researchers used the Washington Post data for their study, but there are many other websites keeping an ongoing record and they are just as accurate. Mapping Police Violence and Killed By Police.net are often even more up to date than the Washington Post database. Wikipedia also keeps its own running list.

It is also important to note that the report only counted fatal on-duty shootings and not other types of incidents where victims died during or following a police encounter, like in the cases of George Floyd or Freddie Gray. Another interesting point raised by the researchers is the fact that crime was actually significantly reduced during the pandemic, despite media reports about “crime waves” related to looting. Even with a lower crime rate in most areas and fewer interactions with the public, police are still killing people at an alarming rate.

activistpost--2020-08-21--How Government Roads Expand Police Power in America

Advocates of a free society so frequently field the objection “ Who will build the roads ?
” or some variation thereof that it ’ s become a meme .
Much effort has been put into answering this question , including books on the privatization of roads and highways .
What has received relatively little attention is what effect road privatization would have on the role of government police , which is surprising given the existing relationship between roads , police , and drivers .
Indeed , most of what police do is related to the road .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most recent report on contacts between the police and the public , over half are traffic stops , and an additional 14.6 percent are in relation to traffic accidents .
When not otherwise engaged , officers spend around 74 percent of their time engaged in patrol , typically in a car .
Over 9 percent of arrests recorded in the 2018 FBI Uniform Crime Reporting ( UCR ) Program data are for driving under the influence .
Unfortunately , the UCR does not specify what percentage of the 1,147,050 drug possession arrests in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but there is little doubt that it was a significant portion .
Making arrests based on pretext stops ( the act of pulling someone over ostensibly for a minor traffic infraction in order to investigate some other crime , conduct a search , or to determine whether the vehicle ’ s occupants have any outstanding warrants ) is considered good policing and is endorsed by the US Supreme Court .
The long-running erosion of the right to be secure in one ’ s vehicle , as codified in the Fourth Amendment to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Sarah Seo ’ s Policing the Open Road .
In addition , revenue from traffic citations can constitute an important source of municipal funding .
One example ( though definitely an outlier ) is the town of Randolph , Missouri ( pop .
47 ) , which issued 3,132 traffic fines , collecting an estimated $ 148,000 of their $ 270,043 total revenue in 2009 .
Besides traffic citations , an additional source of revenue for police on the roads is civil asset forfeiture .
The Texas town of Tenaha ( pop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dollars in forfeitures from traffic stops before being sued in 2009 .
Without the pretext of traffic stops , there would be many fewer opportunities for police to separate individuals from their cash and other possessions .
Based on these considerations , it would appear that the privatization of roads would be of interest for the purposes of police reform alone .
In light of calls to “ defund the police , ” police activities on roads have received more attention .
Economist Alex Tabarrok has suggested the “ unbundling ” of police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reform certainly sounds like an improvement over the status quo , the question is to what degree it changes the practices above .
On some margins , state agents fully dedicated to traffic enforcement may make things worse , particularly without changing the incentive governments have to milk drivers of funds .
Pure traffic patrollers would be less expensive to train than sworn police officers , making it cheaper to put more of them on the road .
They would not have to respond to the non-road-related calls that police officers are expected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from their constant presence .
Furthermore , there is little evidence that traffic enforcement significantly improves road safety anyway .
But even if it did , there is still a tradeoff between road safety and other ends , such as arriving at one ’ s destination quickly .

However , if unarmed traffic patrollers lack other police powers , such as the ability to warrantlessly search a vehicle , seize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the commission of a drug crime , or engage in pretext stops , such a reform has the potential to result in positive outcomes for those who consider liberty to be important .
A big question , though , is whether governments would be willing to forgo what has been such a large source of revenue , as well as one of their primary means of drug interception .

The state still makes the rules , licenses the drivers , decides what insurance is required , and decides how rules are to be enforced .

In addition, revenue from traffic citations can constitute an important source of municipal funding. One example (though definitely an outlier) is the town of Randolph, Missouri (pop. 47), which issued 3,132 traffic fines, collecting an estimated $148,000 of their $270,043 total revenue in 2009. Besides traffic citations, an additional source of revenue for police on the roads is civil asset forfeiture. The Texas town of Tenaha (pop. 1,100) had seized millions of dollars in forfeitures from traffic stops before being sued in 2009. Without the pretext of traffic stops, there would be many fewer opportunities for police to separate individuals from their cash and other possessions.
Based on these considerations, it would appear that the privatization of roads would be of interest for the purposes of police reform alone. In light of calls to “defund the police,” police activities on roads have received more attention. Economist Alex Tabarrok has suggested the “unbundling” of police from traffic enforcement:
The responsibility for handing out speeding tickets and citations should be handled by a[n] unarmed agency. Put the safety patrol in bright yellow cars and have them carry a bit of extra gasoline and jumper cables to help stranded motorists as part of their job – make road safety nice.
While such a reform certainly sounds like an improvement over the status quo, the question is to what degree it changes the practices above. On some margins, state agents fully dedicated to traffic enforcement may make things worse, particularly without changing the incentive governments have to milk drivers of funds. Pure traffic patrollers would be less expensive to train than sworn police officers, making it cheaper to put more of them on the road. They would not have to respond to the non-road-related calls that police officers are expected to handle, giving drivers less reprieve from their constant presence. Furthermore, there is little evidence that traffic enforcement significantly improves road safety anyway. But even if it did, there is still a tradeoff between road safety and other ends, such as arriving at one’s destination quickly. By getting in a vehicle, we demonstrate that we are not willing to sacrifice all other ends for that of safety.
However, if unarmed traffic patrollers lack other police powers, such as the ability to warrantlessly search a vehicle, seize assets they believe may have been used in the commission of a drug crime, or engage in pretext stops, such a reform has the potential to result in positive outcomes for those who consider liberty to be important. A big question, though, is whether governments would be willing to forgo what has been such a large source of revenue, as well as one of their primary means of drug interception.
Leaving the roads in the public domain, even if they are policed by nice traffic safety officers rather than the cops, still has a number of disadvantages related to traffic enforcement. The state still makes the rules, licenses the drivers, decides what insurance is required, and decides how rules are to be enforced. Because the roads are not privately owned and the payment and use of them are not voluntarily contracted, economic calculation is not possible. The government is in the dark in negotiating the aforementioned tradeoffs between safety and other ends. There is no competition between road providers that would prevent overzealous enforcement of traffic laws or the opposite. If roads (and other transportation infrastructure) were privatized, road entrepreneurs would seek the optimal tradeoff between safety and other ends, and consumers’ ability to choose different roads or means of transportation would enable this to occur.
Thus, even setting aside gains in efficiency or reductions in highway fatalities, the case for the privatization of roads has much to recommend it solely in terms of how it would affect the power of the police to detain us, search us, and seize our property.

Recently, Bill Gates gave an interview to the Rothschild partially owned Economist. In this interview, Gates was asked about how he views the U.S. response to the outbreak. His reply was…
Aside from the high ‘risk money’ the US ponied up for vaccine research and development, he think the U.S. is doing a poor job overall.
Gates proceeded to directly blame the poor response on lack of preparation, but also freedom. Yes, Bill Gates blamed our freedoms for the spread of the virus.
Bill Gates then went on to praise China’s authoritarian response and said, despite the fact that people’s rights were violated, China’s response was really amazing!

A Kentucky man could face a fine of up to $750,000 or six months in jail for allegedly violating a quarantine order in the Alberta Rockies in late June.
John Pennington, 40, was initially given a $1,200 ticket on June 25 after staff at a Banff hotel called the RCMP saying they believed the United States citizen was violating the Alberta Public Health Act during the COVID-19 pandemic.

American visitors have been able to use a loophole allowing them to travel through Canada on the way to and from Alaska.
“RCMP attended the hotel and as a result of their investigation, they found a second individual in his presence, a female from Calgary, and found him to be breaching the requirements to quarantine while he travelled through Alberta so he was issued a ticket under the Alberta Public Health Act,” said RCMP Cpl. Tammy Keibel in Calgary.
She said officers received a second complaint the next day after someone spotted a car with American plates in a parking lot near the gondola to Sulphur Mountain.

activistpost--2020-08-23--A.I. Evolving: Beats F-16 Fighter Jet Pilot; Military Wants Self-healing Terminator Robots

If that title didn ’ t capture your attention , I don ’ t know what will .
No that isn ’ t clickbait , the military has been working on developing artificial intelligence for some time .
But now the machines have surpassed humans , again winning a dogfight – a term used to describe an air battle between jets .
And if that ’ s not enough , the military wants self-healing robots straight out of The Terminator , which by the way was the villain .
According to Defense One , artificial intelligence ( A.I . )
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ second time .
The military held a simulation between A.I .
pilots and a human pilot , and found that one specific A.I .
beat others and the human in five rounds .
The record was broken at the finale of the U.S. military ’ s AlphaDogfight challenge , which was set up as an effort to “ demonstrate the feasibility of developing effective , intelligent autonomous agents capable of defeating adversary aircraft in a dogfight.
” This isn ’ t the first time that a human fighter pilot was defeated by A.I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demonstration showed that an A.I .
nicknamed Alpha could win against an experienced human combat pilot .
However , the recent DARPA simulation pitted a bunch of different AI against one another and then against a human in the end .
If that ’ s not enough , in the same week as The Mind Unleashed reported , the military suggested creating Terminator-like robots that can heal themselves on their own utilizing a new shape-shifting material .
In fact , Military.com reports that the film ’ s villain , the T-1000 , even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Army engineers working on the project to develop “ soft robotic ” drones and unmanned aircraft based on flexible , self-repairing and self-reconfiguring materials .
“ We want a system of materials to simultaneously provide structure , sensing and response , ” said Frank Gardea , an aerospace engineer at the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command ’ s ( CCDC ) Army Research Laboratory .
The project is being worked on at the U.S. Army ’ s Aberdeen Proving Ground facility in Maryland .
So far they have developed a 3D-printed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ memory behavior ” that can be programmed to remember which will snap back to certain shapes , and can even be repeatedly melted down and reused .
“ Most cross-linked materials , especially those that are 3D printed , tend to have a fixed form , meaning that , once you manufacture your part , the material can not be reprocessed or melted , ” Gardea explained , adding that the material has a “ dynamic bond that allows it to go from liquid to solid multiple times , which allows it to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hopes that the U.S. military will soon have future platforms for air and ground combat that possesses the “ reconfiguration characteristics of the T-1000 character in the Hollywood film , ‘ Terminator 2 , ’ ” he said in an Army statement .

In fact, Military.com reports that the film’s villain, the T-1000, even directly provided the inspiration to one of the Army engineers working on the project to develop “soft robotic” drones and unmanned aircraft based on flexible, self-repairing and self-reconfiguring materials. “We want a system of materials to simultaneously provide structure, sensing and response,” said Frank Gardea, an aerospace engineer at the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s (CCDC) Army Research Laboratory. The project is being worked on at the U.S. Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground facility in Maryland. So far they have developed a 3D-printed, flexible polymer with a “unique shape memory behavior” that can be programmed to remember which will snap back to certain shapes, and can even be repeatedly melted down and reused. “Most cross-linked materials, especially those that are 3D printed, tend to have a fixed form, meaning that, once you manufacture your part, the material cannot be reprocessed or melted,” Gardea explained, adding that the material has a “dynamic bond that allows it to go from liquid to solid multiple times, which allows it to be 3D printed and recycled.” Gardea hopes that the U.S. military will soon have future platforms for air and ground combat that possesses the “reconfiguration characteristics of the T-1000 character in the Hollywood film, ‘Terminator 2,’” he said in an Army statement.
Maybe Gardea and the rest of these military engineers developing both A.I. and self-healing technology for them should spend an afternoon watching the entire James Cameron Blockbuster Terminator series.

Sadly, this isn’t the first stupid idea by the military and it won’t be the last. Last year, it was reported that the U.S. military was working on building deadly artificial intelligence-driven tanks. Dubbed Project ATLAS (Advanced Targeting and Lethality Automated System), this type of tank would lead to the first autonomous ground combat vehicles with the exception of the ability to pull the trigger.

Referring back to our F-16 fighter pilot who got beat by A.I., you may be surprised to know that the United States Army already demoed an F-16 that flies and executes strikes all by itself.
Two years ago in 2018, this author wrote how over 2,000 scientists had called to ban the development of lethal artificial intelligence; it turns out the military still wants to continue that effort, for science! In other words, killer robots that could eventually develop a mind of their own and take over the world. Scientists have vowed they will not support robots “that can identify and attack people without human oversight.”
Again, allow this reporter to reiterate that we are walking ourselves straight into the path of destruction.

That’s a shared thought with deceased scientist Stephen Hawking, who also previously warned that “artificial intelligence could spell the end for the human race if we are not careful enough because they are too clever.”
This is the beginning of The Terminator movie, as even scientists agree that machines will begin to think for themselves in the near future and could be a threat to the human race. Now, the military wants to flat-out model technology on the T-1000. Flat-out, we are doomed if this moves forward as planned.

The Pentagon is defending its use of military aircraft to conduct surveillance on the large crowds of demonstrators , and in some cases riots , which enveloped multiple cities connected with George Floyd ’ s death .
A new investigation has exonerated the National Guard after allegations it illegally gathered intelligence on Americans .
It was previously revealed that the National Guard used reconnaissance planes to fly over at least four US cities in order to gather data on growing protests in late May and early June , crucially at a moment President Trump was urging greater action in ensuring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vandalism-hit cities .
Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he never personally approved of the program to fly the reconnaissance aircraft over the protests , but National Guard officials say they didn ’ t need higher approval given it was just for observing crowd sizes and to probe if any emergencies such as large fires were unfolding , according to their account .
The Associated Press reported of the new Pentagon findings out Friday – the result of an Air Force inspector general investigation ordered by Esper : The investigation by the Air Force @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used to gather information about crowd size , crowd flows and fires but they did not monitor individuals .
The probe was ordered by Defense Secretary Mark Esper in response to questions within the department and Congress about whether the military illegally conducted surveillance of American citizens during the unrest after the death of George Floyd .

Essentially , the argument appears to be that protests can be monitored using national intelligence means and assets so long as it is groups or crowds being observed , and not individuals .
The legal argument also appears centered on the technological capabilities outfitted on the aircraft , with the conclusion that if domestic communications can ’ t be picked up , it ’ s permitted .

The Pentagon is defending its use of military aircraft to conduct surveillance on the large crowds of demonstrators, and in some cases riots, which enveloped multiple cities connected with George Floyd’s death. A new investigation has exonerated the National Guard after allegations it illegally gathered intelligence on Americans.
It was previously revealed that the National Guard used reconnaissance planes to fly over at least four US cities in order to gather data on growing protests in late May and early June, crucially at a moment President Trump was urging greater action in ensuring law and order in the protest and vandalism-hit cities.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he never personally approved of the program to fly the reconnaissance aircraft over the protests, but National Guard officials say they didn’t need higher approval given it was just for observing crowd sizes and to probe if any emergencies such as large fires were unfolding, according to their account.
The Associated Press reported of the new Pentagon findings out Friday – the result of an Air Force inspector general investigation ordered by Esper:
The investigation by the Air Force inspector general found that the planes were used to gather information about crowd size, crowd flows and fires but they did not monitor individuals. The probe was ordered by Defense Secretary Mark Esper in response to questions within the department and Congress about whether the military illegally conducted surveillance of American citizens during the unrest after the death of George Floyd.
It’s certainly an interesting distinction that’s somewhat disturbing in terms of precedent, regardless of the fact that in many instances the protests produced dangerous and deadly riots and caused widespread destruction (which, it should be noted, is a matter for local and state authorities, and even the FBI – but not military intelligence).
Essentially, the argument appears to be that protests can be monitored using national intelligence means and assets so long as it is groups or crowds being observed, and not individuals.
Protect Your Privacy with a Phone Shield Faraday Bag
The AP continues:
The investigation reviewed seven flights by the aircraft in Minnesota, Arizona, California and Washington, D.C. If found that while the sensors on the aircraft could show buildings and vehicles, they “were not capable of identifying any distinguishing features of people” and they did not have the capability of collecting information from cellphones or radios.
The legal argument also appears centered on the technological capabilities outfitted on the aircraft, with the conclusion that if domestic communications can’t be picked up, it’s permitted.
Specifically, the aircraft involved was the RC-26 spy plane, but there were also widespread reports that federal and local agencies used drones, including the US Drug Enforcement Agency, which was authorized to “conduct covert surveillance” of the protests, according to the Trump administration.
Regardless of the issue being protested, this creates a disturbing precedent. Recall for example, the large-scale protests against Obama’s preparations to bomb Syria in August and September of 2013. Should there be any future mass anti-war demonstrations which gain steam in the US, for example, will the Pentagon conduct intelligence gathering missions on these too?

activistpost--2020-08-23--Here’s How a Cashless Society Would Affect Day-to-Day Life

Have you ever thought about the ramifications of a cashless society ?
I ’ m talking about the real , first-person effects , not some ephemeral conspiracy theory or possible biblical prophecy .
This is bad news for a lot of reasons , not the least of which are the ways it would affect day-to-day life .
Here ’ s my definition of a cashless society , so we ’ re all singing from the same songbook : Cash would no longer be legal tender , therefore you could not make purchases with it , pay bills with it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You would not be able to deposit cash into your bank account so you wouldn ’ t be able to accept cash for an exchange of goods or services .
Therefore , cash would be nothing more than a worthless piece of paper .
( I know , I know .
Debt-based currency is a totally different article though . )
We ’ re heading this way .
Jose recently wrote that Venezuela is rapidly becoming cashless , and here in the United States a concerning early sign is that there is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many stores to give you your change on a store loyalty card or invite you to donate that change to some cause .
Think of all the times that cash is an appropriate gift .
I ’ ve always given money , like stuffing a child ’ s birthday card with a $ 20 bill or giving a new graduate some cash to put toward college expenses .
When I got married , we received quite a bit of money from various loved ones .
My dad always gave my daughters some spending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visited and they were surprised and delighted every single time .
However , in a cashless society , there are two problems with this .
First of all , the recipient would not be able to use the cash .
He or she would not be able to spend or deposit it .
Secondly , if a monetary gift is given , it would have to be done with a check or electronic transfer .

Have you ever thought about the ramifications of a cashless society? I’m talking about the real, first-person effects, not some ephemeral conspiracy theory or possible biblical prophecy. This is bad news for a lot of reasons, not the least of which are the ways it would affect day-to-day life.
Here’s my definition of a cashless society, so we’re all singing from the same songbook:
Cash would no longer be legal tender, therefore you could not make purchases with it, pay bills with it, or spend it in any way. You would not be able to deposit cash into your bank account so you wouldn’t be able to accept cash for an exchange of goods or services.
Therefore, cash would be nothing more than a worthless piece of paper. (I know, I know. Debt-based currency is a totally different article though.)
We’re heading this way. Jose recently wrote that Venezuela is rapidly becoming cashless, and here in the United States a concerning early sign is that there is a “change shortage” which is causing many stores to give you your change on a store loyalty card or invite you to donate that change to some cause.
Gifts
Think of all the times that cash is an appropriate gift. I’ve always given money, like stuffing a child’s birthday card with a $20 bill or giving a new graduate some cash to put toward college expenses. When I got married, we received quite a bit of money from various loved ones. My dad always gave my daughters some spending money of their own each time we visited and they were surprised and delighted every single time.
However, in a cashless society, there are two problems with this.
First of all, the recipient would not be able to use the cash. He or she would not be able to spend or deposit it.
Secondly, if a monetary gift is given, it would have to be done with a check or electronic transfer. This means that the government (and the Tax Man) would know precisely how much money any person is given. That might not be a big deal for the 7-year-old who got $20 from grandpa, but what about the graduate who raked in a couple thousand in gifts from family members to celebrate his or her accomplishments? At what point will the government have their hands out for “their fair share?”
Side Gigs
A lot of folks are really struggling right now with the COVID shutdowns. Jobs have been lost, hours have been cut, and financial problems abound. One of the ways that these people are making ends meet is with side gigs. Folks are cutting grass, cleaning houses, driving for Uber, delivering food, babysitting – they’re coming up with all sorts of ways to make some extra money. A huge percentage of these people are being paid in cash.
But if suddenly you can no longer spend your cash, you’d need to be paid electronically. How many people who don’t already have a business have a merchant account for taking credit or debit cards? There are options like PayPal and Venmo, which take a percentage fee, but they’re going to have to figure out something.
And then, as above, every single bit of this side gig money is traceable and trackable. This could quickly turn your 20 bucks from lawn mowing into $15 after taxes.
Selling Secondhand Goods
Raise your hand if you’ve ever sold something to pay a bill. Me too! I’ve sold jewelry, furniture, exercise equipment – all sorts of stuff to meet an obligation when in a pinch. Not only that, but I have a yard sale every single year to downsize the things that I found I don’t really use, which often brings in a few hundred dollars.
How will this work in a cashless society? Well, if you are selling just one larger item, you’d probably end up using some kind of payment app like Venmo or PayPal. On the other hand, a yard sale would be nearly impossible to conduct electronically. Who is really going to be able to sit there and do PayPal transactions all day, especially when folks are buying things that cost 25 cents?
And there we are, down another way of making some quick money.
Tips
Lots of folks who work in food service and the beauty industry, just to name two niches, depend on tips to make a living. Generally, tips are collected from tables or paid out at the end of the shift if they were put on a debit card. But…once there is no cash, these tips will have to end up going on a regular paycheck. One hundred percent of this money will be subject to payroll withholdings.
This will mean that a lot of people see a sharp decrease in their earnings, plus they’ll have to wait for their checks to get the money. It puts a lot of power into the hands of the management and it would not be difficult at all for someone to manipulate the amounts the workers have earned.
Children
I’ve written many times about the importance of allowing children to handle their own money. It teaches them responsibility and life skills that will serve them well in the future. (Learn more about talking to your kids about money in this article.) My daughters have had access to money since they were in kindergarten, and possibly before.
Now, how are you going to give a five year old access to money if it’s all electronic? Are they going to end up with their own bank accounts and debit cards? That hardly seems realistic. There is also the option of gift cards, but that means the money can only be spent at certain places, taking away the vital learning curve of saving your money to put it toward a Big Goal. Forget lemonade stands, gifts from Grandpa, or putting change in a piggy bank – these will all be things of the past.
The unbanked or underbanked
Eight million households in the United States are “underbanked” or “unbanked.” This means that they don’t have any kind of bank account due to fees, bad credit, or other obstacles. These people rely on check-cashing businesses that already take a hefty fee to give them the pay they’ve earned. What will they do when this is no longer an option?
Most of the people who are unbanked or underbanked are living under the poverty line already. This would mean that they can no longer pick up side-gigs to make ends meet, they can’t do odd jobs, and getting them any kind of assistance will be more difficult.
Slate reports how the coin shortage is affecting these Americans:
To the average American, this shortage may only cause minor headaches—a harder time paying at a parking meter or exact change required at a coffee shop. But some 8 million American households, or 6 percent of Americans, are “unbanked,” meaning that because of fees and other financial hurdles, they have no checking, savings, or money market account. Many rely instead on services such as money orders, pawn shop loans, or payday loans. According to Venky Shankar, a marketing professor at the Center for Retailing Studies at Texas A&M University, Americans who make $25,000 a year or less use cash for around 45 percent of their purchases. So those Americans might struggle to pay for essential services without change on hand. They also might find it more stressful to round up or donate their change, should stores ask for it. “For an unbanked or underbanked person, it could leave them in a horrible situation if they don’t have access to the cards,” saidAngela Lyons, a professor of economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. (source)
And this is just a coin shortage. Imagine how difficult it would be if our society became completely cashless.
There is an alarming amount of power in access.
So, we can see this isn’t an ideal situation for any of us.
But even these things are relatively minor in comparison to the potential for abuse against citizens in a cashless society. If every single dime you bring in is tracked and recorded, you will have no financial privacy, and you’ll also be at far more risk. Many of us keep some cash savings around the house for emergencies. Even if there is a bank holiday, we’ll be okay because we have the money sitting around to take care of any incidentals while we are unable to access our banked money.
But what happens when things are cashless? All that money we’ve stashed away over the years would have to go into the coffers and we’d lose a certain amount of control.
It’s all well and good when times are okay, but what happens when there’s a Cyprus-style event and the government decides a bail-in is in order? If you don’t recall, back in 2013, billions of dollars were seized from depositors to protect the small country’s banking system. This was done to make good on an $11.6 billion dollar debt owed to creditors outside the country.
If you think that sounds far-fetched – like something that could “never happen here,” it’s incredibly important to note that we already have language that allows for bail-ins here in the United States. After the bailouts for the economic crisis of 2008, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Act of January 2010, which prohibits government bailouts but allows bail-ins. So, yes, the money in your account could indeed be used to save a floundering bank.
Not only that, but think about the outrageous phenomenon of civil asset forfeiture. If you aren’t familiar with it, that means that an entity can seize your property or money even when you have not been convicted of a crime. Civil asset forfeiture provides billions of dollars to the US Government and local police departments every single year. Imagine how much easier that would be if your wealth was all in one place.
And let me take it just one step further before I take off the tinfoil – think about how many websites, YouTube channels, and social media accounts have been purged and demonetized over the past few years. Is it that much of a stretch of the imagination that this could be taken a step further? That perhaps unpopular opinions could be fined and money immediately be withdrawn from the accounts of those who dissent with the status quo?
Maybe I’m just another paranoid conspiracy theorist. But are you actually paranoid when “they” are really out to control you?
What do you think?
Do you think we’re headed toward a cashless society? Are you concerned about this? Have you considered how you’d deal with this situation if it were to occur? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Los Angeles, CA — As TFTP reports on a regular basis, being innocent — even an innocent child — is no defense against police kidnapping, caging, or killing you. Jamar Nicholson Green learned this the hard way when a trigger-happy cop opened fire on him and a group of friends as they freestyle rapped on their way to school. Green and his friends had committed no crime and were unarmed.
The incident unfolded in 2015, but the lawsuit was only recently settled and the taxpayers of LA county will be shelling out nearly $1 million for the negligent and deadly actions of LAPD officer Michael Gutierrez.
Gutierrez — who was not in uniform at the time — saw the children freestyle rapping at the meet-up spot and noticed that one of them was holding a toy gun. This is not the same as some incidents in which the gun resembles an actual gun. This one was clearly marked as a toy with a highly visible orange barrel and did not look like an actual gun at all.
As Courthouse News reported:
Jamar Nicholson Green, then 15, and three of his friends were listening to rap music in an alley a few blocks from their Los Angeles high school. It was the group’s regular meet-up spot for freestyling and rapping before class. Green’s friend held a plastic Airsoft gun with a bright orange tip while he was rapping and dancing in the circle. But just as the teens turned off the music and started the trek to class, they heard multiple gunshots, which one teen mistook as gunfire from nearby gangs. In fact, LAPD officer Michael Gutierrez had come across the group and, after seeing the toy gun, fired his gun at least three times into the crowd of teens. One bullet hit Green in the back.
Gutierrez opened fire without warning, just as the teens turned off the music and started their trek to school. The kids thought that the gunfire was coming from gangs but it was one of LAPD’s finest instead.
Despite having been shot for no reason, Nicholson,was forced to remain in handcuffs as he was transported to the emergency room. Even while in the ER, Nicholson was kept in handcuffs as doctors worked on the bullet wound in his back.
“The officer falsely claimed a crime was being committed by Blacks and a Latino as they filmed themselves rapping with a bright orange-tipped replica gun as a prop,” stated John Harris of Harris & Associates who represented the plaintiffs. “This shooting wouldn’t have occurred if the kids were white, or on the way to school in a Westside neighborhood. This was a classic example of the mistreatment, racial prejudice and injustice against blacks, including black children. They regularly and routinely suffer at the hands of police. After waging a long and rigorous five-year battle against the City of LA for Guitterez’s blatant and egregious misconduct, we finally convinced them to do the right thing and compensate our clients for their physical injuries and emotional distress suffered.”

For opening fire into a group of children, Gutierrez didn’t face so much as a slap on the wrist. When the LA County DA’s Office investigated the shooting, they ruled it justified — claiming Gutierrez “acted in lawful self-defense and defense of another,” when he opened fire on a group of innocent, unarmed children.
