Because this is the most pressing issue facing the country right now.
Paywalled, but based on the headline: good.
Digital is excellent for retail, and retail hates cash because it’s work to handle, so not surprising they want it gone.
But cash is important for exchanges between people. Buskers, spotting a stranger’s bus fare, etc.
Particularly escaping abuse - how are you supposed to leave the iron fist of a parent or partner, who controls the accounts; when you can’t use cash to get food or board? How do you leave?
Nobody was trying to make using cash illegal. This is a bunch of insane idiots who all of a sudden decided that using cash was going to be illegal any day now and are pushing this useless legislation in order to appease the flat earthers that are their voters.
