But the valvuations swing very "Violently" and what if the Internet just got shut off.

People say thatll never happen The USA has a Kill Switch be thrown whenever.

What if the power just went out wont have computers or be able charge your phone either

The last real "Black-Out" 2011 Walgreens was open took Ca$h only because their computers didnt work.

Also only let 5 in the store at a time

Not just a full Black-Out Family Dollar recently has their computer system crash.

The were still open but taped big signs on the doors "Ca$h Only" Computers Down

Then again ya can end up at Dollar General Saturday & the kid only knows a computer cant even count

Saturdays ya get $5 bucks of $25 dollars.

Only knows digital cuopons and I saved receipt a bar code printed on it just scan it.

Then arguing about the $ale Price of coffee & I said walk back here with me Ill show ya Price Sticker hanging off the shelf.

Then a line started building behind me.

I like the dumb kid couldnt even scan the sugar.

He just put them in the bag I got 10 pounds sugar free because was too lazy just threw it in bag

This other one forget a calculator could even add everything .

By gosh ya couldnt even count pennies if it aint on a Computer screen.

Then I took my whole cart even added the $ales Tax on that minus $5 dollars saturday savings.

It still a dollar somethimg over but a line was building behind me & I said fine just let it go

I would also like to say here where I live even if they forget remove a $ales price sticker State Law mandates must be $old posted price on the shelf sticker too
 

Speaking of Digital Cuopons I went to a "Foreigner" Subway with junk-mailer cuopons 2 foot-longs $12.99

He said we only do Digital cuopons.

I said this a valid cuopon I got in the mail doesnt expire until December .

He said "Digital" I told him keep the sandwhiches I walked out the door heck with ya too.

I dunno most ya people know that world got Netflix order stuff off Amazon.

When I was a kid my folks got bills wrote paper checks & oh by gosh my hadda be at the Post Office Saturday Morning make sure it was mailed out "On-Time".

Thats the way they did it when I growing up what I learned too..

Frankly I never "Advanced" beyond that.

Recently at the Credit Union hadda order new checkbooks not only raiswd the prices they only send ya 2 checkbooks used 2 be 3 was standard


 

I remember some years ago picked up my son I had Coffee & Doughnuts pulled out a $10 spot threw it on the counter

My boy had Paypal some crap off the phone he bought Energy Drinks & pack of Gum

Then told me let me pay for your coffee & doughnuts too ..

He had no $$$ in his pocket he just scanned his phone with the clerk.

On the way home I asked him ya aint $20 bucks in your wallet.

He said I dont carry Ca$h pays with phone or a card.

I said what if ya meet a nice gal someday take her out 4 supper wouldnt ya like have $10 spot leave waitress a tip .

As elementary school kids we  were called one by one to go up to the chalk board at the front of the classroom and do computations with columns of 4 digit numbers.
This exercise simulated real life where you would be expected to be able to perform in front of your customers and also your employer.

When I was like in grade school I got a D in math.

My father got mulitiplication tables made me sit there & memorize them too.

Dad also showed me decimals & fractions how take a pencil & paper break that down

By 4th or 5th Grade I could roll it off back of my head.

But High School Algebra was another nut 2 crack

I worked on one of the first transistorized calculators that was capable of doing trig.
It weighed 200 pounds and it needed a  208 volt, 3 phase, 400 cycle,  3 KW generator for power and to make it portable.
It was the FADAC M-18  [yep it was  just 2 numbers down from the M-16 in the Army Ordinance Directory because it was considered part of a weapon system...typical Army thinking]]
It cost in the neighborhood of $100,000 and it needed a well trained "specialist" to operate it.
It wasn't very popular with the Fire Direction Control Teams because a 5 pound briefcase stocked  with $5 worth of manual plotting equipment and a slide ruler could provide the Field Artillery with the same AZ / EL / MUZZLE ANGLE / CHARGE and TIME OF FLIGHT information, in about the same time it took the FADAC to arrive at a solution.
The FDC teams used to hate hauling the 200 pound FADAC around and dealing with the loud, troublesome generator so much that they would sabotage it and evac it for repair.
Not many years later Texas Instruments marketed a pocket calculator [the size of a modern smart phone] with the same capabilities as the FADAC M18, plus it was solar powered.
You can bet that whatever electronic gadgetry they use to aim the howitzers nowadays takes so little skill that even a Libtard could do it....
