Wow, how brain washed have most become. Now days not having a credit card is “weird.” I’ve gotten to the point that I am so sick and tired of just about every app, phone, store, bank, corporations, government, and on and on trying to track everything I and everyone else do. I have stopped using my debit card or Apple Pay for everything and have gone back to cash. Crazy enough, in LA some restaurants and stores have gone card only. That is right, no cash.

[@michaell1603]

I mean, if you are trying to pay a $3,000 hotel bill in cash for a two week stay? And your ID seems off? Or mangled? Or you don’t want to show it? Etc? Then yes that’s weird. I understand not wanting to be tracked. However your movements are already known via your cell phone, your job on your W2 form, your bank where you write rent checks to, your house and deed listed with the county, etc. Not to mention license plate readers and surveillance cameras. Your image on your drivers license is already in the government database. They likely already know you’re staying in a hotel. Because the airplane manifest showed you flying to X state from Y state.

[@michaell1603]

And they’ve gone to cashless systems to save a trip to the bank both depositing cash and getting rolls of coins and dollar bills for change, to prevent robbery, and prevent theft by employees.

[@laurice8056]

@BikerGirlTraveler, might as well get used to using the cards…credit cards, debit cards, and prepaid gift or money cards will be the new normal. Because someday in the near future America will join the ranks of other countries that are now using a totally cashless system. Our paper money won’t be worth the paper it’s written on. With this system, our government will not only be able to track our savings, earnings and how we spend our money, they will also be able to control our access to our money. Every single penny! Everyone will need to have a card and a card reader or cell phone with an app to use for every transaction. Everybody, from the wealthiest elites and corporations, to the poorest local street vendors and beggars, and even nonprofits like charities and churches will be required to use the cashless system. 💳💸

[@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese]

People Will defend the central bank digital currencies too. Total control over all aspects of transactions whether it be in a recession, depression or economic boom. Absolutely necessary for a social credit system and automatic algorithmic black balling

[@bryanv4081]

I went to a Chase Bank to withdraw some cash. The attendant told me that it's a cashless branch.

[@sue4742]

This video is 10years old. But exactly same thing in video happened in 2019 on Sri Lanka Easter bomb attacks. So video is still relevant.

[@cdcdogs4961]

I always pay with cash, I’ve been in debt to CC companies in the past, but now I don’t own anyone. Maybe someone should report Dave Ram sey for teaching such questionable behavior. 😳😅🤣

[@Shadowhawk827]

Not for his original teachings, but he should be reported and jailed for his Realtor ELP program. His recommended sold us a house that wasn't worth the land it sat on. Had the home inspector falsify the inspection report and everything. When we called Ramset Solutions, they said "we'll coach them".

[@cdcdogs4961]

@@Shadowhawk827 Dang, so sorry.😧 I know who Dave Ramsey is and his basic teachings, but I don’t know anything about his programs.🤷🏻‍♀️ Situations like yours can be financially devastating and hard to recover from. 🥵🙏🏼

[@Shadowhawk827]

@@cdcdogs4961 It was supposed to be our retirement home. Now we'll be working till our dying days. Dave wouldn't even revoke the realtor's ELP status after what happened. He used to be great, now all he cares about is growing his empire. I hear he even advocates going into debt upto your eyeballs for rental real estate now. He used to say it was idiotic.

[@Shadowhawk827]

What if you tell your manager and he is a moron and does not listen to you?

[@jebidiahnewkedkracker1801]

Then you're probably a character in a DILBERT comic strip, written by a former "Grand Dragon" of the Ku Klux Klan who is now persona non grata, so you need NOT worry anymore about being such a character unless your real name is "Asok".

@@jebidiahnewkedkracker1801 oh, you are a Grand Dargon in the KKK. Good to know.

[@l.a.3479]

Contact your manager's boss, or contact security (if there's a security team at your workplace), or contact the police yourself, if you feel it's urgent.

[@gr8n10city3]

These scenarios are realistically portrayed. Even after so many attacks since this video was released, it’s surprising how many people still choose to say nothing when they witness suspicious activities like those shown here.

[@mfawls9624]

In the US we have never been pushed to 'see something, say something'. A suspicious person might think that is part of a plot to create a populace that relies on government to handle and control everything. ...but then a suspicious person might doubt the necessity of quarantines and masking too. Or even doubt the reality of pandemic.

[@TheRealMACA]

What if the owner and staff of the motel are the perpetrators?

Yes. One famous man in Chicago during a World Fair opened his home to lodgers and was bumping them off.

Anyone know if there is an HD version of this video? Perhaps non-hard coded subs?

[@march9589]

Well, when I’m angry my face sometimes is angry too even tho I check it in the hotel lol so am I a dangerous too? Duh 🙄 the person who are dangerous who are very silent guy woman or man if they’re super silent and acting weird when you ask them that’s the people who always did bad things don’t focus on people who have anger face focus on people who has normal mood but silent person!

[@coolhandle572]

bruh you cant even pay with cash

[@michaell1603]

Yes. You can.

Imagine if the law abiding citizens on flights on 9/11 had been armed with tasers, pocket knives, etc.

[@user-eq4sp6hn2x]

this may have been made ten years ago, but with our open borders thanks to Biden it has become relevant again.

[@spencermatthews5942]

Bunch of paranoia propaganda!!!

[@benjaminallen6469]

You can tell this video is old. You can either use a card at a hotel or you can't. And in 2023 the only hotels taking cash are going to be full of suspect people. Also semi off topic but I really hate how hotels are leading the charge in criminalizing cash. There are all sorts of perfectly valid reasons for wanting to use cash. You shouldn't need to hand over your complete identity just to get a room. Especially overseas.

[@michaell1603]

Literally every major hotel I’ve been to still accepts cash. Credit cards are on file for damages only.

[@l.a.3479]

It's not "criminalizing cash." It's saying a large amount of it ($3,000 in the video) might be a red flag. (Especially combined with the lack of a credit card and/or proper ID)

[@jebidiahnewkedkracker1801]

Well I suppose if all that was portrayed in this video (abandoned car, with "owner" walking away quickly and NOT responding to requests for his attention, abandoned luggage, mysterious "co-worker" wandering around in unauthorized spots and/or asking "weird" questions, and "funny"-looking stuff left behind in a guest room), I think the SMARTEST thing to do is GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE??! (Of course, if one only encountered JUST ONE of these "anomolies", one may be excused from becoming a casualty of a "terrorist" attack?? But if one is, say, a hotel manager or owner, and ALL these things were brought to your attention, especially within in MERE MINUTES of each other, I'm guessing there basically would be NO EXCUSE as to why you just didn't EVACUATE EVERYONE and THEN reported your suspicions to "Big Brother"??!!) But here is probably the MOST suspicious thing: Someone who clicks this video on, and then makes some lengthy snarky darkly cynical comment in its comment thread ((that most people who read it won't have the ATTENTION SPAN for, and/or have NO CLUE what he is rambling on about)) regarding what was, or wasn't, reported, and to WHOM, on, and/or just prior to, an 11th day of September back in the year 2001. At BEST such a person is a deranged conspiracy theorist, and probably should be labeled mentally ill, and perhaps even FORCED to take very powerful medications to keep him or her docile in a government psychiatric facility? At worst, such a person might be a "homegrown" terrorist or perhaps some religious leader of some "cult" in Texas who also likes to collect guns of a number and type that the ATF decides it's a good idea to send agents in, complete with a very large track vehicle that proceeds to plow into the walls of the religious leader's compound, under an ATTORNEY GENERAL named JANET RENO who also hailed from Florida, and had some questionable decisions made there NOT examined too carefully by the CLINTON Administration who selected her; and then claim the fire that results and cremates the religious leader and his followers was an act of suicide a la Jonestown? Or maybe even an angry white male with an Irish sounding name who is very upset over such events, that he decides to park a rental truck full of homemade explosives in front of a Federal building in Oklahoma City, but then is subsequently executed by the very government he is angry with relatively quickly. (Note: Such a person probably votes REPUBLICAN....Without fail, that is until he learned a little bit more about a former REPUBLICAN President and his son, ((who also was also a two term REPUBLUCAN President, despite a lot of "hanging chads" in the state of FLORIDA)), and even the son's VICE PRESIDENT who were asked questions about that aforementioned day in September of 2001 basically behind closed doors, and even started two wars basically simultaneously in Iraq and Afghanistan to get some religious leader named Osama bin Laden, and because weapons of mass destruction were in Iraq, fooling even a pretty intelligent athlete named Pat Tillman to not only give up a lucrative NFL career, but his VERY LIFE because he believed that former President who also went by the name "W", and also even fooled the insane idiot that would make a comment such as this. If THAT isn't suspicious, I don't know what is!! But I guess too those who work at KZbin, like those that used to work at Twitter will protect us, by either censoring such a comment, or via A.I. and/or algorithms and/or KEY WORDS being typed will alert the NSA, whose SOLE FUNCTION is to make sure the citizens that it protects either remain BLISSFULLY' IGNORANT and/or live "Happily ever after".

You do more than that you were system otherwise possible other than just saying something you act on it and you do which means you arrest them as well entertainment and ask them for proper identification can you put them in the back of your emergency security vehicle as well and take them to jail and prison and you book them and fingerprint them
