An example of how things can be introduced by stealth came for me this morning when I went to book a room on AirBandB. I could not use my credit card nor my debit card nor my husband's credit card! It said ask my bank for security clearance.
I rang my bank and they said AirBandB had not accepted card payments for a couple of months. It was an issue their end. It seemed like I had to give up the booking half way through or use an alternative . The only listed alternatives were Google Pay or Paypal. I don't know what Google Pay even is and I had shut my Paypal account after what happened to the Canadian truckers and the govt critics who were cancelled by the company when they spoke out.
I bit the bullet and opened a PayPal account just to book the room. I will shut it again and tell them why (again). But it does show how daily living becomes more and more difficult if we are channelled one way and we don't want to go there.
They will hide behind private companies and no doubt will allow cash to circulate for a while whilst tagging it so it can be tracked and given an expiry date.
Also unable to book with AirBandB when they required additional proof of identity in the form of a passport photo and their system would not accept the uploaded file. In the end, didn't proceed with the booking, and there were other options. But what happens when you have a payment system where there are NO other options? When the computer says 'No", there's no debate, no negotiation, and no one to talk to for dispute resolution.
What happens? Stay at a hotel that takes a credit card. Go camping. Do a "staycation."
Until people quit feeding the beast, as they say, "the beatings will continue until morale improves."
I, for one, am SICK of whining people, like one woman, telling her about the aborted fetal material used (2) or tested with (2) said "I know, but I just want to go to Cancun next month." I dropped that relationship.
The West is FILLED with cowards. We will not survive as cowards.
Exactly. That is when we have to opt out all together or enough say 'enough is enough' and they have to back down. Or we we slide in to digital slavery. I wonder who owns AirBandB? No doubt the same lot who own everything.
When enough say enough is enough they won't back down. It will be a little more uncomfortable for them at that stage. If you think these psychos will ever genuinly back down, you have no idea what you are dealing with.
