Stop telling people to write on money.
Yes, but at an event like this, how will someone be arrested for this?
"You are under arrest for defacing money"
"Well, actually officer, as stated in the law you are so feverently trying to uphold, it must be unfit to be recirculated. I believe this dollar is still useable. Let me check! puts in soda machine, obtains Sprite Seems useable to me. Want a sip?"
Plus you can always claim you weren't the one who defaced it. Seriously lol It's not illegal to HAVE defaced money, just to deface it, so an officer would have to catch you.
Run Bank day.... 5 november , let the big ones without money.
Please use credit unions because one person one share in the credit union. Also try to buy from cooperatives like ocean spray. co-ops are good because one person can not control it again one person one share, the 1% could not be that if most all companies were cooperatives, start buying, working, and banking with cooperatives and credit unions, if most of us do the power of the 1% will shrink. This would help solve lot of capitalism's problems of the 1% owning most of the capital, excuse the pun. Please copy and pass this message on!
