    If Socialists have their way we’re going to Lose ALL OUR COPS because we Won’t let them STEAL our Money anymore! Why would anyone become a Cop if they can’t STEAL our MONEY?

    “Hah Timmy, guess your stupid little ass ain’t getting grandmas crisp 20 dollar bill for your birthday this year! Better luck next year you 7 year old sack of shit!” -American cops, probably.

      Yeah, there’s a reason they do this with PRIVATE shipment hubs and not USPS hubs.

    …when i was growing up waaay back in the depths of the twentieth century, standard protocol was never to send cash: check, money order, or COD only…in my grandparents’ generation, stamps were also often accepted as legal tender!..

    …does anyone even do cash-on-delivery anymore?..i never used it but i feel like i haven’t seen mention in thirty years…

    …so anyway, we had an onion on our belt, which was the style at the time, and my point is that not sending cash is nothing new…i guess the idea back then was that sending cash either risked loss/theft or facilitated illicit commerce; i never really figured out which…

    …is sending cash any different now?..

      Sure, but “sending cash is risky” is different than “if you send cash police will legally steal it.”

        …that’s a fair point and civil forfeiture for carrying cash on your person is a thing now, too…
