Cash is still king

On Monday in Raumati South we had severe lightning, so bad that it took out power lines, which also affected the Raumati shop eftpos machines. To buy anything you needed cash but the only ATM machine in Raumati South was also down. All these systems make us very vulnerable and you need to hold cash yourself in case of such disasters. But banks and corporates force us to not use cash, to make their lives easier, in turn making our lives hell.
