Anybody remember the television program Max Headroom from the 1980s? There were two things that stood out.
One: There was no cash. Everybody carried an ID stick. That was your life. Who you were, how much money you had. If the government wanted to shut you down, it disabled your stick.
Two: There was a fringe group call the Blanks. Blanks lived outside of the system. Blanks had their entire existence scrubbed from the government computers, lived outside of society, and did everything via barter. I was in my early 20s at the time. I told my wife that, when the time comes, I'm going to end up being a blank.
I remember being a little kid and for some reason my parents didn't me to watch it. That one and China Beach. I kinda get China Beach, what they had against Max Headroom is beyond me. But they let me watch Total Recall, I don't understand.
We had to stop watching B.J. & The Bear because they started showing "too much skin". Never understood that one because all I cared about was watching the chimp go nanners.

Looks like the time has come.
I remember Max Headroom. Of course I was mostly drunk when watching it. Kinda how I feel watching the world now.
Thanks for the reminder rundown. Time to Blank up.
