Who doesn't?
- epistasis 5y agoThere's a good chunk of lower income people who are unbanked and don't have smart phones. However they typically live where they can get by without a car, as even a cheap car requires unexpected $700 repairs and can not be relied upon. A lot of the car-dependent design of most of the US is to try to keep people like that out of neighborhoods.

- FridayoLeary 5y agoI would like to believe that but i think their numbers as a % of the population will make them less and less relevant. More people are adopting technology than giving it up.
- captainredbeard 5y agoDo minorities (as in groups, not race) matter? What happened to our pluralistic society?
- mindslight 5y agoThe nyms that I generally use at brick and mortar stores do not have cell phones or credit cards.
- dghughes 5y agoMaybe I live in a poor blue collar town and have a warped view of the world but quite a few people I have known who are low income don't have a credit card. Many don't even have a driver's license they get a "voluntary ID" card, government issued. At best they'd get a pre-paid credit card or maybe a debit card. But most often it's cash only. All those payday loan stores exist for a reason!
