San Francisco Leaders Approve Ban on Cashless Stores
- bifrost 7y agoTLDR; I think my city leaders are completely wrong on this and their anti-progress stance is terrible. San Francisco needs to a beacon of progress and not a pothole on the way to advancing society.
- staticautomatic 7y agoSpoken like someone who has never been poor.
- bifrost 7y agoEven the poor in SF can pay via plastic.
- magicnubs 7y agoWhat are the arguments for and against this measure? I'd imagine that (some) businesses don't want to have to accept cash because it's a hassle and securing/handling cash costs time/money. And the government doesn't want people to be forced to go through an intermediary (i.e. a bank) to be able to participate in marketplace?
- bifrost 7y agoThey already force people to use plastic for EBT/Foodstamps so I think they're trying to protect people who're marginalized, but they're not.
