To require parking fees be paid by credit card is to require that you MUST make your assets subject to hacking/theft in amounts larger than the parking fee.
That’s as bad as a car company leasing you a car with no door locks while accepting no liability for any theft of your possessions during the time your lease is effective.

The coming Antichrist will be pleased that they are preparing for his arrival and conditioning their patrons to accept his mark.

Don't be deluded into accepting this nefarious scheme, it is all a part of Satan's plan to universally enslave and control mankind.

Come quickly Lord Jesus.

I pointed that out a few years ago (about some place else). Got attacked by some FReeper. Because that’s what some people gotta do.

[A cashless society WILL be mandated, probably sooner rather than later. Scary times are headed our way.]

That’s quite true.

[A cashless society WILL be mandated, probably sooner rather than later.]

I believe this is what the Scripture hints at. I can’t prove it to you, per se, but looking at the 4th beast of Daniel 7:7-8 and Revelation 13, that seems to be the outcome.

Many of the restaurants in the Financial District of Manhattan are now cashless too. Weird in nation’s financial district that you can’t spend the actual currency of the nation.

[Like the concept of self checkout]

Don’t worry. That is going the way of the dodo.

[I don’t have a problem with going cashless]

Just wait until you have another Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama in charge and you decide to purchase a legal firearm and ammo for same.

TPTB will be scrutinizing every purchase.

Oh, you donated to President Trump’s re-election campaign, too.

And a fundamentalist Bible church? Oh my, you are a bad citizen.

No offense - see where this is going?

(but then, I wear a tinfoil hat)

Yep. But the unbelieving world thinks that will never happen. I used to work with a lot of them. At a Christian church organization that sold Bibles, too. Yep.

[A cashless society allows government to monitor everything you buy and sell. Further, it allows the government to turn off your “money” any time it wants too. Folks can subscribe to a cashless society if they want but don’t force me to join you.]

That is correct.

Bingo! And AI hates cash because it can't tag and track you like an animal when you use it for purchases. They want to know what you are doing 24/7 and cash still buys freedom from Big Brother. Therefore, they must destroy it.

My dad is old school and he always taught that your money should be tangible and touchable. Balancing a checkbook manually makes you feel more connected with the fruit of your labor. It also makes you more aware of the numbers behind it and the taxation connected with it.

When you go (completely) cashless it disconnects you from your money which becomes just numbers floating through digital screens and that is not the same. There is a good reason for so much consumer debt using Credit Cards. The use of them too often and without the ability to pay the balance on time they are like 'funny money' (an artificially inflated currency). Inflation is built in with the interest you pay on them. You may end up paying a lot more for that item

When you use cash you usually have to stick to a budget. And I'm not talking ATM's, because if you carry a slightly higher balance you may be tempted to spend more.

And cashless fits in great with the thieving Liberal Socialists who see themselves as the owner of what it rightly yours! They want all control over every one of your dollars, down to the penny.

I use my Apple Pay at every opportunity. It’s just so easy.

Same here. Not only because it's easy but because it's more SECURE than any other form of payment.

I know some jaws will hit the floor here after reading that but it's 100% True.

"...switching to cash-free will cut transaction times in half..."

Since when is encouraging less patience a good thing? And they can't tell me it's because people are used to 'swipe right' 'swipe left' and can't wait an extra few seconds for the person in front of them. They are encouraging and creating a culture of self-centered peevish uncivils.

I, for one, don’t doubt it’s convenient and secure.

So, Not So Bright, you like not being in control of your future.

Giving it over to the powers who be?

Sadly most are spiritually lost, blind and deaf.

But for the grace of Almighty God, go I. Praise His Holy name!
