Would it make sense to have #CashAwarenessMonth (pbs.twimg.com)

Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn't be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.

Edit:

If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

I think you'd be better off pushing for a mental health awareness month...

Interesting thought, there were no mental health issues in rural areas, when you need to get up early and do some work in the field to feed your family. Mental issues are product of this newer way of life. Not sure why, but guessing we are getting farther from the nature we were evolved and our mind can't keep up. Not talking about clinical mental issues caused by genetics, simple depression, anxiety and those new/modern illness.

so nobody in a rural town was ever ‘slow’, ‘different’, or ‘blessed’, right?

I did say I'm not talking about genetic diseases, I clearly said depression, anxiety and similar modern illness. Depression is not being 'slow' or 'different', it is not be able to meet expectations you think others have from you, Anxiety is fear of future, those are illness induced by fear.

i’m not talking about those mental health issues, just the ones i don’t believe in

Lol tell me you’ve never read The Grapes of Wrath without telling me you’ve never read The Grapes of Wrath

Yup, depression never existed in pastoral settings.

Anything else you think needed a casual erasure while we're at it?

No, I actually lived in village and I know how life looks there
