I'm just a regular middle class person. Bill Gates will keep flying his private jet and eating juicy steaks, while we will be forced to eat ze bugs.

Private jets. He owns at least 5. The brands are even listed if you google it. It's public knowledge. The boss himself has a carbon footprint of a small town, yet he wants to stop you and me from having our own.

IMO people aren't the sheep some posters here think they are. Yes, they chose credit cards over cash, but that's because most of them were certain that the money on their card is real cash converted to ones and zeros. The risk of using a card over cash wasn't really that big for your average joe, but the convenience was greatly increased.

Another one who doesn't get something basic. The money shown as balance on the (debit) cards is not real money, they are accounting entries based on a ponzi scheme, and in the case of credit cards it is even worse, because they are accounting entries passed on as money that are created as debt with every payment you make. But if you don't understand this very basic thing don't expect me to waste much time arguing with you, eh?

Then don't argue with me, since you read my sentence the wrong way, so I'll rephrase it for you.
I said that most of them (meaning creadit card users) think the money on a bank card are real cash converted to bank balance. I never said that I'm one of these people.

It looks like your whole post was based on a wrong assumption.
