I hope everyone will read Dave Ramsey’s comments about going cashless. It’s a two minute read. No one has explained it better. He brings up several situations I'd never considered.
I took this picture of my receipt in my beautiful town Kerrville Texas. I support this and I can see how this could affect our kids by having gaps in work ethic, financial literacy, and community connection.
Dave Ramsey repost:
HERE'S WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here & there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:
* If you are struggling with your mortgage on a particular month, you can’t do an odd job to get you through.
* Your child can’t go & help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash.
* No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays.
* No more money in birthday cards.
* No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money & to learn about the value of earning.
* No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting $20 a week away for.
* No more little jobs on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table.
* No more charity collections.
* No more selling bits & pieces from your home that you no longer want/need for a bit of cash in return.
* No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones.
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements & actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered & five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare & be taxed on every dollar in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can & cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.
Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time & it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.
If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to lodge cash.
Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption & hidden agendas.
Pay with cash & please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.

“I lay it at the feet of Jesus and give Him all the glory.”
This is AWESOME! Jaccob Slavin @Jslavin74 is a Stanley Cup champion. But he knows where the true victory is found and points to Jesus after their clinching Game 6 win.

"This was filmed last Wednesday afternoon at Riverside Veterinary Clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana. The officer is Sergeant Paul Greer. He's 41 years old. Fourteen-year veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The dog is Bruno. A ten-year-old German Shepherd who served eight years as Paul's K9 partner before a joint condition ended his working career two years ago. When Bruno retired from active duty, Paul adopted him immediately. Brought him home. Bruno spent his retirement on Paul's couch, on Paul's bed, in the passenger seat of Paul's personal truck. The transition from working partner to household companion was seamless. Bruno had always been Paul's dog. The badge and the vest were just part of the job. Over the past several months, Bruno's condition had declined steadily. The joint condition spread. He had difficulty getting up. Stopped eating regularly. Paul had been managing Bruno's comfort with guidance from Dr. Angela Reese at Riverside for months. Last Tuesday evening, Bruno stopped getting up entirely. Paul called Dr. Reese that night. Wednesday afternoon, Paul drove Bruno to Riverside. He carried Bruno in from the truck himself. Wouldn't let the techs take him. Paul's partner, Officer Dana Choi, came with him. She filmed quietly on her phone from the corner of the room. She told us afterward that she asked Paul's permission before she started recording. He nodded. Paul sat on the exam table with Bruno cradled across his lap and chest. Bruno's head rested against Paul's shoulder. His eyes were half-open. His breathing was slow and easy. Paul bowed his head and pressed his face into Bruno's fur. Bruno lay still for a long moment. Then slowly — carefully — he raised both front paws. One at a time. And wrapped them around Paul's shoulders. And held on. Paul made a sound that Dana said she will never forget. Dr. Reese, who was standing nearby preparing, went completely still. Her assistant took a step back. Nobody moved. Dana told us: 'Bruno could barely lift his head that morning. But he lifted his paws and he held Paul. In that moment, with everything he had left, he held him. I think he was saying thank you. I think he was saying goodb"

Apr. 25, 1982. #Boston Garden. With two seconds remaining in Game 7 of the #NHLBruins - #Nordiques Division final, veteran Terry O’Reilly took a swing at referee Andy Van Hellemond, earning a 10-game suspension to start the 1982-83 season. Bob Cole, Dick Irvin and Mickey Redmond called the decisive match on #CBC. #Quebec prevailed, then lost to the #Islanders in the Conference final. #StanleyCup #Leafs

If you want to have great retention numbers, leaders in organizations have to always be asking questions and soliciting feedback from their families. Yes - open border recruiting leads to a lot of player movement between clubs. But an out-of-touch board and a crappy experience for families is the main driver for people seeking other opportunities.

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard?
Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

Wayne Gretzky shares the advice he gives to every young athlete.
"The commitment and the work ethic is worth it."
"My dad was a big believer that the harder you work as a kid, the more fun you're going to have as an adult. And the more fun you have as a kid, the harder you're going to work as an adult."
Read that again.
It's one of the truest things ever said about success.
Work now, play later. Or play now and work forever.
"The commitment and the passion for what you're doing is so worth it at the end of the day. Just believe each and every day - it's really, really worth it."
Commitment is a choice. It's choosing long-term growth over short-term comfort.
"I wouldn't trade my life in for anything in the world."
Outcomes and rewards require sacrifice.
The key question is: what price am I willing to pay?

This is insane. Canada imported 36.5% of it's population in the last 10 years.
And that's just what they tracked. They didn't provide the numbers for those who entered illegally because they have no idea.
To put this in perspective, 5% would be huge. 10% would be a crisis. 36% is an atomic bomb going off in every major city. No country on earth- not even the United States- has the infrastructure necessary to successfully integrate this many people in such a short amount of time.
This official government of Canada chart shows that
15,690,460 (15 million!!!!)
people have entered Canada since the Liberals were elected in 2015.
These numbers are only for the TFWP - Temporary Foreign Worker Program, the SP - Study Permit (can work 24hrs per week) and IMP - International Mobility Program.
These numbers do NOT include those who entered Canada legally through migration or those who entered illegally by just crossing the border.
Canada does NOT track these numbers as to who stayed and who left.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This chart shows active permits. Permits span multiple years, so you can't just sum them, you be adding the same people several times.

State-sponsored news.
Tax-funded wealth.
This is the Liberal way.

No way Carney just said this out loud

What a massive difference between him & Poilievre.

There’s many things you can do as a Prime Minister, but when you’re trying to get elected, and you lie to your whole country about the conversation you had with Donald Trump, you’re done. You literally made your whole campaign around him and you lied to your whole voter base about how things went down. You cannot be trusted. Ever.
This might be the biggest mistake Carney made, and Blanchet describes it so beautifully.
