I saw so much wildlife in my city. Including a deer for once. Drunk ass me: well deer, looks like me the other essential workers and you inherited the earth.

Of course the bankers survived. Of course they would.

Remember when COVID has been used by them to encourage or enforce cashless payments? That was scary.

Yeps. Banks make no money if we keep it in paper in our wallet and big retailers don't have to deal with the infrastructure to deal with paper money. Part of the reason why government economists want to ban all non-digital currency.

In the past governments banned people from owning gold. In the future they will ban us from owning paper currency. And pretty much for the same reason. There will be a financial system that you simply can not opt out of. You will need a bank and it will be one of the few remaining banks left after stress tests and corporate mergers finished the job 2007 started.
