I have a few errands to run yesterday and when I went to buy feed I couldn't find my credit card. I remember where I used it last and retraced the steps in my mind, called the business thinking I might have left it in the machine (because I am avoiding tap) and they said NOPE. I thought I would check out my account online to see if anyone had picked it up and maybe started tapping their hearts out but thankfully not. I notice a toggle in the site that said "turn card off". I don't ever remember seeing something like that so I toggled it off and sure enough the access to my card was not available. I can tell you how thrilled I was that now I had the time to retrace my steps to ensure I didn't drop the card in my travels before calling and cancelling and my "thrilled" turned to concern because if it's that easy for me to turn off access to my credit cards, it is also that easy for someone else. WELCOME to digital ID and CBDC my friends disguised as safety.

I did find my card or rather got a call from the last business I attended, it had dropped on the floor when I was at the till. We aren't far off the "you can't buy or sell without the mark". I am going to stockpile.

Have a lovely weekend all, going to check out the news at the Ostrich farm now.
