And buying a car is not important?

And this limit is below the value of most cars.
Which is what we were discussing in this thread.
- 9dev 4y agoWe’re talking about Europe. Owning a car is a quality of life feature, not a requirement here. Food, on the other hand, is a necessity.
- alkonaut 4y agoIn terms of resilience to wars, disasters, power outages and similar (which is one of two arguments for cash the other being privacy), I think the key functions are probably food, fuel and similar. That car sales can continue is probably not as important. That’s why Starbucks can probably get away with rejecting cash in Sweden but a large grocery chain probably can’t and won’t.
