I saw something where in France, some restaurants were doing the only cared thing so groups of people were going in and having a big meal. When the check came, everyone only had cash. So if you want to get the money for the food and expensive wine we just ate and drank, well, here are your options. Accept cash (legal tender), or we walk. Changed things pretty quick.

This is not quite the same as the goods and services haven't been consumed, but something along g the lines of making it an extreme pain in the ass for the merchant goes a long way.

That said, it is important to raise a stink, because these are tests to see how much we will put up with; this is a long article but one thing that stood out to me was this passage:

On July 25th, Dr. Mercola announced not only he, but also his employees and their families had been abruptly deplatformed by Chase:

(The photo of Mercola's tweet is that the bank shut down his business bank accounts along with the accounts of his CEO, CFO, AND their families - spouse and children. They refused to provide any reason for doing so and the oldest account had been active for 18 years.)

There are a lot of ways to interpret what happened. The most common interpretation has been that debanking dissidents is fast becoming the preferred way to suppress political opposition (e.g., do you remember last year when Justin Trudaeu had Canada’s banks close all the bank accounts of anyone who peacefully attended the Trucker protests against Canada’s vaccine mandates).

This is likely being pushed forward since debanking is a relatively easy way to create compliance in the population and there is an increasing risk of widespread political rebellion against the bad policies (e.g., the COVID-19 vaccine mandates) that have been pushed by governments around the world. Typically, when policies like these are done, initially small but visible tests are carried out (e.g., a lot of people can clearly see what was done to the families of Dr. Mercola’s employees was wrong) to gauge how the public will react to them and if that tyranny can be normalized.

I have loathed Chase for years. I eagerly await the demise of those MFs...
