Paul Dickson pulled out a $20 bill recently when he was at a baseball game at Camden Yards and wanted to buy a beer.
Another guy in line started laughing “because there’s no place in the ballpark where you can spend cash,” said Dickson.
Dickson, 85, who is an Orioles fan while his son and grandson are Nationals’ fans, paid for the $17.50 beer by credit card. He knew that the Nationals’ home stadium, Nationals Park, had become a cashless stadium, but he didn’t know other baseball stadiums, like Camden Yards also stopped accepting cash.
Dickson, a book author, is not opposed to using his credit card or other methods of payment. Before he moved to an independent living facility, he had most of his bills on auto pay from his checking account. He still writes a check occasionally and he’s had a Paypal account for years.
But Dickson said he’s offended that his choice to use cash where he wants is slowly becoming more limited.
“It’s not that I’m livid. It’s not some injustice, but it’s sort of this thing where I say ‘Wait, it’s my money. I’ll pay you however I want,’ ” said Dickson. “It’s almost like they’re (businesses) saying ‘Well, we’re removing an option, which is for our benefit.” […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
