Legal tender becoming illegal tough at national parks

America's national parks are an amazing treasure. But lately, our rulers have tried making a mockery of the whole system. It's not limited to the Department of the Interior's scuttling of a successful contingency plan that had kept parks open during a government shitdown.

Recently, the National Park Service stopped accepting cash for entry fees at many of its parks - forcing people to use a credit card. This has prompted a lawsuit citing the fact that cash is to be considered legal tender.

The National Park Service's defense of the parks' cashless policies is incredibly dumb. They said it costs too much to "process" cash.

"Process" it? Cash doesn't need to be "processed" like credit cards do. Cash has been around since prehistoric times. Can you imagine cave people sitting around and "processing" money?

We're barreling harum-scarum into a social credit system, and the attempted phaseout of cash is one of the ways in which it is being facilitated.

Cash. Use it or lose it!
