Unless you're at a mom and pop, nobody is going to be counting money by hand, or doing any business at all once the power goes out. Scanners and cash registers down, so is business.
Tucker Carlson Leaving Fox News

Mom and pops handle that better than most. They have no problem pulling out paper receipts and a pen to get you taken care of. Cash still spends.
Also...why would the power go out?

I had no power for 11 days straight this year, and over two weeks last year. That's just the longest ones, I've had two temporary outages just this week. Power isn't as reliable as some people think.
On average, some part of the grid gets hit by a cyberattack every four days in the US. It's aging and vulnerable, and the internet of things is just making it worse as malign actors are able to take control of vast numbers of power hogs like air conditioners and work them as a botnet to dramatically raise or lower power consumption in an instant and stress transformers. The rate of grid failures is about 250% higher than it was in the 80s when the grid was newer.
Losing part or all of the grid is the gold standard for disaster preparedness for a reason, it's one of the most likely armageddon scenarios we're currently facing.

Not a good look, Tucker. Not a good look at all.Tucker Carlson being spotted in Moscow sparks frenzied speculation

Disagree, strongly.
If he comes from this with an actual interview with Putin, that will be HUGE.
He's one of the few real journalists left.
What's this huge value (to US public, not Putin) of his (as a fairly friendly interviewer) interview of Vladimir Putin, a man who is not some exotic leader whose opinions are an enigma to many, but a man with effective control of many official and unofficial media outlets in many languages?
For example, you can already to go to a Russian official state news site and read about Putin calling you and all your compatriots neocolonialist racists, all in your native language:
Putin slams ‘golden billion’ idea as neocolonial and racist
According to Putin, the impression is that the West simply cannot offer the world a model of the future

I'll be sure to let you know when i give a fuck about your opinions.What's this huge value (to US public, not Putin) of his (as a fairly friendly interviewer) interview of Vladimir Putin, a man who is not some exotic leader whose opinions are an enigma to many, but a man with effective control of many official and unofficial media outlets in many languages?

Well, if Carlson would ask about such inconvenient to Carlson's audience's attitude to Putin statements, that may even count as journalism, but what do you think are the chances of that happening, as opposed to the interview being a more friendlyPutin slams ‘golden billion’ idea as neocolonial and racist

And i am letting you know that i give a fuck about countering yours then.
Though thanks for showing that you have no better idea on how to defend your argument.
So if you're a left-lib or wokie and believe that Western civilization is racist, you're agreeing with Putin?
You are free to give a fuck about whatever you want.
But I'm not going to waste my time trying to counter your arguments or have a discussion with you, when I have watched your shitty debating, goal post shifting, refusal to consider evidence, and frankly insulting behaviors towards other members.
You have proven time and time again, that it's a waste of time to have a discussion with you. So you're not getting one out of me.
Go ahead and get the last word in. That's fine, and it'll make you feel better. I won't be responding to you any further.
Okay to be fair our own governments say that (and worse) every weekend about ourselves.
Like you kinda get numbed by it all.
I see you are more interested in whining about my past slapfights with other ridiculous anti-western zealots than arguing your case, you are as pathetic as the people you are referring to are.
Great, i will be looking for your expected glowing commentary on that future interview to poke holes in it.
Yes. Putin cares not why you have beef with your country and due to it are willing to side with his over yours in international conflicts, only that you do, whatever you need to hear for that to happen, he's willing to say it, it's not like that costs him anything.
He doesn't give a flying fuck about your countries and who rules them, only that they don't get in his way. Be it because their leaders are willing to take his bribes, are idiots, or turn the country into such an unstable shithole it cannot stand in his way, whatever, only the end result matters, it's of far lesser importance under what banner or ideology this situation was set up.
So why aren't you treating him the same way you treat yours when they say that? Is he cooler or something? Or is it that he tailors his propaganda to his audience more skillfully than the local politicritters who are too lazy or incompetent to do that?
Because he's in an irrelevant shithole that I don't live in. He can bitch about the West all he wants, as long as he does it over there.
Meanwhile the people who actively affect my life say the same things, and are much more local.
I hope Tucker interviews Putin, if only because it'll be an indicator of how good of a man Tucker is.
If he does a fraudulent interview? He's a piece of shit like most journalists.
But what if he does an honest one?
If he's so irrelevant, why is Carlson interviewing him, and his fanboys gush about how huge that will be?
He's not just some dude spewing words into the world, he's a leader of a nuclear power with a very active, global intelligence apparatus, so no, he absolutely won't stick to only doing it over there.
How does giving a presumably friendly interview to the leader of a foreign shithole that doesn't really like you at all to say it lightly make him a good man?
Would interviewing more nearby political figures that don't like you make him a good man too?
Let's be honest, do you think Putin would even agree to an interview with a troublesome line of questioning, or an interviewer that will nitpick his political line?
If he's so relevant, how come he hasn't suspiciously been unalived by a tragic accident? Between all the American bullshit organizations, the UK's ones, and Mossad, I think he's alive because he's not actually as dangerous as people portray.
Out of all government agencies in Russia, which do you think got funding priority even when times were tough?
If the western politicritters were that capable and competent even in just the cloak and dagger area , their chief doctrine would not be "managed decline".
