I have clear self feeder. My cat starts freaking out if he can see it's running out of food. He let's me know he wants me to fill it again before he'll calm down and go back to sleep.

It's terrible for anyone who values their privacy and doesn't want the government to know about their entire spending habits right down to the cent
Also for anyone who lives in any area that doesn't have a decent enough internet service

Haha, that's true! But if cats could talk, I bet they'd be asking for second helpings all the time!

That moment when Kevin Spacey was a Disney character for a loveable Pixar kids' movie.

I know many "homeless" "freeliving" people and they all have cashapp,venmo,chime,and usually PayPal. Sometimes multiple accounts of each. I've sold flowers for donations and had my info on a sign before. I made Hella money doing that.

The point is that if you give the $20 to a homeless charity they are going to use it to provide 20 or even 40 meals in places where real homeless congregate. Giving money to panhandlers is vastly less efficient not just because many are scammers but also because you aren't reaching most of the homeless population or an organization that can leverage economies of scale to buy efficiently. The people who hang out at busy intersections with signs, particularly in suburbs where they know many easy marks exist, are not representative of the real population or problem.

I believe Hillary Clinton made that a campaign promise, but for obvious reasons that never happened

It has happened 6 or 7 times before on this planet, and will certainly happen again. Hopefully not in our natural lifetimes, but maybe.

I mean…name one wild animal that is similar/greater in size to a human you think every fully functional human can beat in a one on one.
Heck, I’ve seen people lose fights with geese before

Society as a whole doesn’t care about transients on any level. This might get downvoted and you will certainly see a lot of pro-homeless virtue signaling in your post here, but if you truly want to accurately understand how the average Joe feels about homeless folks, read the nextdoor app, like pick any random neighborhood in the US and just read for about 10 minutes.
So basically what I’m saying is outside of really visible social media where there’s things like likes, retweets, upvotes etc… nobody cares about them and thus nobody gives a shit if they get fucked by the transition to digital currency
