Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn’t be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.

Edit:

If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

    Two questions:

    1. Eating bugs is not an abnormal human behavior, and it is not uncommon in cuisine across the world. So I don’t see how that’s a negative thing, inherently?

    2. How would using cash translate into a message of “people power”? You’re still paying the same amount of the same currency for the same product, just in a different form.

      I don’t know, but I would like to try, we don’t know what we can loose or gain, we only cry when we have issues and we don’t have solution or power to make difference, and it is just awareness month, no biggie

          I was thinking about few ideas, but all of them are maybe too radical, this one seams easy to do. And if we ask politicians for support we can get interesting answers and reactions. Just few days ago I saw that is “Vegan month”, didn’t know about it, but someone printed those posters and rent ad space on bus stops. Who is pushing all other awareness months? Let’s see if we can push one. It is not high priority, just curious if there is a will, and if not, why not.

            There’s a vegan month cause people want to raise awareness of veganism/animal welfare. They want to promote people to make that change.

            What awareness is there having your pockets heavy with change?

              I’ve learn in school that humans always eat meat, and tribes that had more resources were stronger. There are some proteins that we can get only from meat. But I have feeling it is not about choice. They want to remove meat all together. Same with cash. I still don’t know why, and I don’t want to know. I just want to be inline with nature as I evolved and born.

                Sounds like you need to go back to school.

                We have cultures that have been living on vegan diets for thousands of years and they still exist. Obviously not dying from lack of nutritional needs or being weaker than neighbouring groups.

                If you want to truly be in line with nature we evolved, you’d hop off line and go live in plains of North-East Africa. You don’t, you just want to repeat right-wing talking points and other insanities detached from reality.
