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've only really seemed it advocated for by people who run businesses or "side hustles" they don't want to pay taxes for.

Seems like a paranoid boomer thing. I don't think it would really send a message to anyone.

Are you living of social welfare? Why would you pay 30-40% taxes and have private healthcare, private pension, private highways...? What are you living for, what are you trading your life for?

So people can have social welfare and everyone can have access to healthcare and what not. It doesn't bother me if it's bettering the lives of those around me
