It's discrediting valid concerns against card-payments. It's invalidating how great cash is.

It's when the worst person you know makes a good point.

And things now are so Culture-Wars-y, nobody makes solid analyses any more, that when the far-right say cards are bad, everybody jumps to thinking cards are good.

You do that after every single cash transaction?

Surely there's a long period between that and a transaction, I don't know why I have to explain such an incredibly basic thing. This is what like every single person does.

What a strange person.

And so we return to my original question: why do you carry coins around?

No, you obviously don't do it after every transaction. You save the change until you have plenty saved up and then exchange it for bills. This is what like every single person does.

What a strange person

Yeah no shit. Hence why credit cards are more convenient. You asked why are you carrying coins around, you answered your own question. Why is this so difficult to comprehend.

You might wanna check the usernames. I never asked why you carry coins around. I don't even carry them. I just take them home and put them in a jar to save until there's enough to exchange

Okay, after reading those posts we know that this person must be cognitive limited or something. WTF, man! And you're not even ashamed to post something like this on the internet. Why are people so passionate about it to prove their stupidity on the internet?

But okay, you need simple math to be able to use cash properly and there is no evidence that you have the skills for this.

Maybe watch a video about simple math. It can help you so that your brain will not completely disintegrate.
