#1 Deleted my PayPal account that I have had almost since PayPal's founding. I don't want to do any business with a Woke Company. They can all go bankrupt as far as I care.

#2 This is the future. Canada already did it. Speak out and displease our masters, and get cut off from the financial system. You may neither buy nor sell, and if you don't want to starve to death you'd better adapt to a 19th century way of living.

#3 I don’t do Pay Pal, but I’ve had no problem getting web businesses to take my personal credit card. And brick-and-mortar companies as happily take personal checks or cash.

#4 Ref #2: Speak out and displease our masters.

I exercise every possible opportunity.

Given the subject matter and comments on many blogs that accept PayPal.

Could they be fined if PayPal censors decide the comments are "...misinformation" or present risks to user "wellbeing..."?

#6 Why would any CFO, or the CPA that keeps your books balanced, not go ballistic if they find out that PayPal asserts the right to capriciously charge 2500$ with no warning ...in a Recession?!?

#7 Never use PayPal. The illogic of alienating half your customers only becomes apparent when those customers react appropriately.
