I remember taking a trip when Gov Newscum was demanding that everyone lock down in fear over corona balogna. Freeways were eerily vacant. In Oregon, many of the few stores open refused to take cash, saying there was a shortage of coins. What a crock.
It's so easy to use that little plastic (burial shovel) card instead of cash!
Just think how phantom-germless you remain by not handling coins/cash! Just think how everyone saves brain-power not doing mental sums over that dirty cash, paying or receiving! And as you progress in your heightened existence of cashlessness, how convenient it will be to get what they allow you to have, even for a moment!
They cannot conceive of a life without purchasing power. They've never been deprived of something they earned. Many have never been forced to live within their means - they pay with credit, or get an advance, or a loan or a gift.
There are few people who still understand they can only truly afford to buy with what cash they have on hand.
That answers for the younger folk who have always used gadgets for everything, but how about class of ‘88 and those who graduated before and a little after? Why are so many Gen Xers falling for it?
My youngest (born '71) carries a thin clip, no wallet, hates coins in his pockets. His son (born 2002) has imprinted the minimalist skinny pants view of life on his Dad.
They'll be sorry to learn that courts in USA have ruled that face recog-secured phones do not require a warrant to search. They're both working feds, should know their rights are like puffs of air, and in one brief moment they'll be COMPELLED to do/say/give up Something.
Freedom is fleeting when unelected Almighty Bureaucrats rule the world.

That excuse seems to come up from time to time. What is up with that? Just go to the bank.

Or not.
How is it that most are not terrified by cashlessness? How is that so many can’t wait for the confidence of it? Why do we have to forced into it?

Naive and due a rude awakening.

Convenience. Short term convenience.
