"[W]e're rapidly getting to the point where the government can easily control people simply by revoking their access to money. We still use cash, but eventually probably we won't, and once we get to that point I guarantee you some bright spark will propose "hey, when people break the law, or don't show up to parole hearings, or fail to answer summons, or whatever, why not just turn all their shit off? That'll FORCE them to come and surrender themselves, they literally won't be able to buy a crust of bread! Hell, we can automate the whole thing." -- Murc, Lawyers, Guns, and Money, comments [thanks to realinterrobang for quoting this earlier]
