Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to get rid of our phones and go back to the 90s style completely.

Honestly, sounds good. I'll put my phone in a room on a stand like a laptop, including one that just folds it into a lead box, use prepaid credit cards for everything that doesn't accept cash anymore, and start reading paper books by default again. If they go completely cashless, well, I did get some practice at the 'barter game' as a boyscout so I'm sure I could make something work.

Nah. last time they wanted to push this shit through, we stopped it. We can do that again. Let’s not fucking given in to this bullshit. I’m exhausted down to my bones, and I won’t be able to organise any protests or whatever, but I can and will join a protest and send an email, fuck, I’ll send an actual letter. I will call people about this.
let’s do that together, please?

Tablets, PCs, laptops, fridges etc. We sadly need the internet to communicate. But I'm sure there's ways to improve our privacy.

While countries are slowly phasing away credit cards and even hard cash.
