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.

    Credit card companies increased their fees in October. Did they do anything for merchants or cardholders to increase the quality of service a commensurate amount? No. They decided to increase their transaction fees due to greed alone.

    You should spend cash, at least at merchants you like. If you pay $20 in cash, the recipient gets $20. If you pay by card the recipient gets significantly less.
