Not if you’re big business or government.

For them, it is ideal if you are cashless.

Easier to manipulate you, total control/insight over your behavior and actions. It’s easy for someone to join Amazon Prime, pay for an anti-virus software with an annual automatic reoccurring reenrollment and then forget about it. People lose track of how much they spend. There are built in fees for the vendors that are hidden from the customer but end up in the final total cost (i.e. ~3%) which the banks make... Of course the IRS/”gubbermint” loves electronic everything for obvious reasons.

I think this is actually a good thing. Making folks accept cash as “legal tender.”

If we allow merchants to go cashless, we are really allowing banks and merchants to decide what the currency of the nation is. In that sense, no differently than when our nation was being founded and you had every state making it’s own money, or private groups and citizens even printing currency, this would be a step backward, albeit the banks and some merchants today will disagree. LOL

If they go cashless there will be more need for Dominion counting equipment.
