I used to work in a shop when I was younger, and the older generation always asked for “cash discount”. Why on earth would we do that, my boss said to me. We need the money to be in the shop’s bank account, not laying around somewhere and not being used.
I remember carrying several 100k of our money, late at night, to our banks night safe and drop it in. That sucked. And they charged us for this too
It is legal tender, but you can’t force people to accept cash in their own businesses. Before you walk into a store, they can say we do not accept cash. By walking in and buying, you agree to not use cash
I have never been religious (it was never a subject that came up in my family). What I found strange was when I started studying and moved to a larger city, alot of former christians I got to know told med how they stopped believing.
These were “extreme christians” if you compare them to other christians where I live (Norway, we’re not a religious society at all). When they went out into the world, they found out that they’d been lied to. They’d been told everyone else wanted what they had, and they’d be converting heathens left to right.
One girl I got to know, told me she noticed people physically rejected her and felt sorry for her when she told them about her religion and that they also could partake. The people also asked her very troubling questions she could’t answer, and they seemed to know the religious texts better than her. After that she started to question what she’d been told since childhood
Here in Norway, a few years back, almost every news outlet had “guides” on how to buy your first apartment/house (buying a home became an integrated part of our economy after the war).
It was in the style of “if I can do it, anyone can”-interview with someone that just recently had bought their first home. The articles started pretty tame with clever tips where the boy/girl made coffee/lunch at home and saved a miniscule amount of money. Sure. Nice tips on how to save money.
Then it usually escalated to get your parents to buy an apartment, rent it out and keep all the rent income while living for free at home. After a while, sell the apartment and buy a new one.
Pretty fucking horrifying that journalists thought: “yes, this is a good article to print. It will help people!”
