So you’re saying you’ve done this before during “scary times”?

Especially when whatever "scary times" those were obviously didn't equate to must long-term damage.

If we’re talking end of days apocalyptic stuff cash, commerce is not relevant

Yup. Cash will be worthless in most scenarios in which banks run out.

OK. I understand now. I thought you were criticizing withdrawing cash

Maybe just sell one of the 100 apartment complexes that you own if you need cash

Do you think snarky comments like this are a good look?

I hope you understand that banks aren't low on cash

Acorn

I did delete. I should have been more specific. Cash held up and atm's reduced.

grandpacoug

What is the limit at your bank on ATM's? All of this reaction is kind of funny.
