Cash is not broken so why try to fix it ?
The push for a cashless society benefits the banks and the establishment.
Just imagine how much more profit banks are making by not have a branch in every town and lots of ATM machines. Fewer staff, no rates ,water or electric bills. No property maintenance etc.
However much they lose by cyber fraud they are raking in millions every day by going cashless.
The trick is to convince the sheeple that it is all being done for them and that they are benefiting from it.
Latest update from Ukraine and beyond from my favorite vlogger. Although he supports Ukraine he admits that the future does not look good without more support from western allies.

The American chain, which has been in the country for nine years, is bowing out of the Thai fried chicken market, leaving many wondering who will fill the void
I find the whole thing of using phones and apps a bit behind the times.
About time they introduced a swipe option as in the UK. No need for cash or phones and faster than both. No rummaging around for notes or scrolling to find the app. Just one tap with your card and done.
Log into mine every day several times. From time to time I have to go through the pictures thingy but that's about it. The more frequently I log in the less I get hassled.
What a tragic childhood this poor girl has had. She should be taken into custody by the authorities and hopefully be found some decent foster parents who could give her a better life and future.
These were what was used in Thailand some 40 odd years ago. Most hotels I stayed in had them. Aside from anything else they were a lot noisier than the split type and when badly installed , rattled like hell. They are still very common in the Philippines and you can get them on Lazada.
One advantage with them is that you can pretty much install them yourself as no complicated plumbing to deal with.
