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.

Now you see, if you just said something like "I'm tired of banks creating money out of thin air and getting bailouts when they gamble and lose, so how about we show them they should value us more instead of ruining our economy like with the 2008 crash, because if we all pull our money out they have no money left, like if all people in the world stopped paying taxes for a year, or stopped believing in money, the governments would be incapable of detaining you or that people should not be afraid of governments, corporations and their employers, instead the above should be scared of the people" I would've been all in, but with the direction you took it, I think I'll pass. Oh wait.
