...I hate to break it to you, but those crazies you're trying to paint are in reality a bunch of people who just want to be left alone to spend their money.
It is now the case that every financial institution is:
>Echoing every transaction over $600 to tax authorities
>Filing an SAR anytime activity exceeds a particular threshold
>Filing an explicit notice for law enforcement when a good chunk of money goes to cash, because it can't be tracked anymore.
I.e. We have decided that a swathe of financial transactions that were previously legal, aren't, or are likely to coincide, despite them being reasonable sums for the economic conditions.
Financial surveillance is still surveillance, and I'm getting just a bit tired of people looking at people who have some aerious concerns over things like this and brushing us off as crazies. With inflation in the mix, CBDC's on the horizon, and a lazy/LE leadable legislature, we're about putting a bow on any sort of financial privacy in the United States.
Like it or not, not everybody is okay with that continuing to getting parceled off.
