The EFF says that being underbanked is the problem for people at the heart of this matter. So why doesn't it work on making more banks and credit cards available to those people? Harder, and more root cause, than just advocating for cash to be accepted, I guess?

- colejohnson66 6y agoA big problem with card only businesses is that they prevent people who don’t have a bank account from buying. Sure, one could buy a reloadable or prepaid debit gift card, but those cost extra money just to activate. By keeping out people with no accounts, you’re excluding a large part of the population: children and poor people.
