Since I have eschewed banks for ten years now, I have found other means of paying for essential services like rent, phone time, and etc. It this trend continues, I may have to get more inventive, as much of what I do depends on other people with bank accounts.

Still, I am not going to use banks myself. If necessary I will go back to living in the woods, which I did for a few years. It was somewhat awkward getting internet access, but it's actually getting easier to do that of late.

Looking forward a few years, and I suspect they may be trying to create an underclass of the unbanked, which they will persecute just so that those feeling the pain of their control mechanisms see clearly what will happen to them if they don't keep running in the hamster wheel.

That's assuming that they can persecute folks enough to make them regret not paying the banksters. I'm pretty sure they can't do that to me, because I so deeply regret paying them that I'd literally rather give up my meatbag than ever pay them again.

If they do such a thing, it will be good for me, because new mechanisms will become available as better minds than mine work out how to get things done, and it will make finding good people easier, since they'll be the ones suffering the persecution, rather than doing the persecuting.

Sort the sheep from the goats for me.

Thanks!
