#1 Awww come on, every time you use these 'consumer' products, you are being tracked. Outside the usual governments, the 'business' people have been doing it for decades. It's just the 'usual' suspects of governments now has spread to nearly all of them. We're in a zero trust culture now cause those who do it never pay a price outside the going market value of what they collect.

#2 In the famous words of one we all know, Aww "come on man". Currently it is wide spread and quite invasive. Next step is your chip card. All your discretionary spending will be monitored and controlled. Donuts, no you have diabetes, travel no you owe taxes or child support. On and on.

#3 Cash, real paper currency, is increasingly being seen as an inconvenience, especially by younger retail clerks...yet it makes one far less visible so we use it for everything we do in person.
For bills its paper checks and the mail. Credit cards only as a form of payment when we have to get something not locally available.
