That's a pretty coin, goes well with the pirate brewski!
Ah yes the government that taxes everything that moves and tells us to trim the fat and tighten the belt while they live large on tax funded vacations playing Mr Dress-up around the world, lovely isn't it. Why I started stacking too, if the gov and the banks think I'm poor, and have next to no money in my account it's less tempting for them to ask for more taxes for whatever absurdities they can come up with.
I keep hoping that maybe one day we can once again enjoy our earnings and the fruits of our labor but as time goes on it starts to feel like a delusion.
Stack on Sister!
Should our government decides to BAN cash and say "Only criminals and terrorists use cash." Whats left of my Emergency reserves will go into PMs instantly.
Can you imagine that happening, This was tried in India already eliminating all high denomination notes and the hardship it caused.
It will be more than..."My Tenant's little kid can't open a Lemonaide stand until she buys a Moneris Mobile wireless POS Card reader itself for $100 and a business account running from $50+/month with Credit card companies taking a 6% off gross sales.
"Binning" will be treated with a Transaction card so as the CRA can track your income.
Hoping to resume Stacking operations as soon as I deal with a few unexpected major bills!
I can see that happening, gold and silver will become a must at that point, sorta why I stack in a sense, not to make money from it but to have a way out when everything is electronic and can be cut off whenever we don't conform to their nasty agenda. It will happen everywhere, just give it time.
Sad that kids can't even have lemonade stands anymore. How else do we teach them about providing a service and being entrepreneurs. Everything is about the rich making more money. A kid with a lemonade stand doesn't need a moneris terminal and a subscription, that's just nuts.
I saw about your ill pet, I hope it recovers quickly. Binning shouldn't be taxed or seen as income, besides it's not free money anyway, somebody paid for that deposit when it was purchased so it's more like a return for being an environment conscious citizen. Large reason I get good deal of coins with my bouillon, it's legal tender instead of a resource or product, less likly to get taxed or confiscation if all hell breaks loose. I saw a rumor that they are going to try to tax plastics.
