@zdl If you give me a lever to fix the financial system, I will.
Instead, I have a lever to help those people screwed over by the financial system: keep using cash.
Hereabouts, cash is the *preferred* payment method for small businesses, for what it's worth. It seems that the risk of criminal action is not as high here as the cost cashless payment systems incur.
Am I telling you to fix your crime rate? Because it seems that is the problem, not the fact cash exists.
