This is how you do it ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ต

Schools closed today hete in Bordeaux BTW, lots of burning stuff yesterday, one of the favourites were trashcans, and then you pop a deo spray can in it, makes a nice whomp and fireball.

Note: didn't see the whole video, haven't heard about any teacher "doused in petrol" here, sounds like some mistake, they're on our side. Even the firefighters are on the students side, cheers them on, while putting out the fires ...

    In the Netherlands there were never notes bigger than 50 euros in the ATM to start with. Never seen notes bigger than that in France either, but I don't use those in France too often.

    The only point of banknotes is to buy (or sell) things you don't want a paper trail for, or personal freedom of privacy. There is little privacy in using tap-to-pay via Visa/MC/etc, a near-permanent payment trail.

    Just because you personally use debit cards doesn't mean that 'nobody really cares' that there is an illegal GDPR-violating secret government program to track banknotes.

    In France we mostly use debit cards and they are given for free from the bank. If you buy groceries, it's better to have a smaller amount of money not to bother cashiers. And if you buy big stuff, it's easier with a debit card. Going to an ATM all the time is annoying, and someone can mug you and steal your money.

    I'm only listing positive things obviously, but it's to show that no one really cares about the private aspect of banknotes.
