I follow what you say.
I had a miserable, cowardly, violent father. Got myself out aged 15 to find the paternal structures I needed in the army - a somewhat more legitimate gang ...
What I find notable about this whole ballyhoo is that the Thai army simply decides to close a border with all that that entails diplomatically, economically and socially. Just like that.
Surely that's a government decision.
Actually the less you own the freer you are - things aren't called the 'trappings' of life for nothing.
Honestly, there will never be a cashless society except in science fiction writers' or conspiracy theorists' minds
Can hardly wait. Does Star Alliance operate to Pyongyang?
Don't those three Kims at the water slides look like a whole bunch of fun? Awful. Picture says it all.
Your fears are unfounded. There will never be a cashless society.
Have you seen what happens when payment systems collapse on an average afternoon? It's chaos and loss all round. I have witnessed it and the outage lasted for days. In a hi-tech country. Cash solved the issue - there will always be cash. I managed to pay cash for my supermarket purchases. Dozens of others had to start unloading their trolleys or leaving them at the check out. People are still hoarding old local currencies decades after the introduction of the cash euro.
They'll (we'll) always have some euros on hand and the old currencies are still valid valuta. It's also in no government's interest to ban cash - even if they'd like to do it for obvious reasons.
