I worked concessions when it was all cash and was surprised by how little theft was going on. Any losses were deducted from the groups/vendors commission so they watched their money like a hawk.

Now, I was a bit surprised that nobody ever attempted to rob the money room after the game when it had about $500k sitting there waiting for the truck to pickup.

Please enlighten us all then as I'm curious.

I wish the bill that would make door knocking illegal for roofers and the like would’ve passed. Shot down 43-40. Not sure why anyone would vote for that to remain a thing. Would’ve been interesting to see how it was regulated and enforced.

JL had nothing to do with the bill. He's just trying to use it as a means to say look what I did for you, I'm so great.

That's fine.

The things that I'm grateful for Jeff Landry was when he was AG. He sued the Biden admin against vaccine mandates and also enjoined Missouri lawsuit against federal government censorship. Those were pretty good things.

And it is illegal for them to do so.

United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts.


I don't understand why the treasury doesn't just enforce existing laws. Seems redundant that this needs to be codified.

All I know is that US currency says right on it:

This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.

So how is it legal to not accept cash?

Incorrect. Defining something as currency gives it the special privilege of being a medium for exchange instead of being considered a separate asset which would require you to track and declare your basis for tax purposes. To help understand the construction, pay attention to the last line of the statute. No rational person would say that I couldn’t use a stack of Austrian Philharmonics to satisfy a debt that I owe, as long as the holder of the debt is willing to accept them; I will simply have to account for any gain or loss from my original basis.

Similarly, when you hear about proposed legislation to “make gold and silver currency”, that does not mean every mom and pop would be required to accept gold coins for a candy bar. It simply means that gold and silver would be treated as currency, not as a taxable asset.

I never know on what topics people will be like a business can set their own rules and if you don’t like it, don’t frequent the business.

Has that been shot down already? To pacify the useless state police? It’s really all they do. Look for inspection stickers.
