But you can have almost all of that while still having cash! I can see the benefit of security for some people (eg train lady) and that could be one of exceptions but I believe most places should be mandated to take cash payments as privacy and redundancy should prioritised more than ever. We know from experience that government, whether totalitarian or not, can abuse any power they have. That’s why we have checks and balances everywhere in our society like judicial reviews or ombudsman. Cash is one of those checks and balances.

You never worked in a store that got robbed? I saw a video once of a bus driver who got a shotgun shoved into his face. Those things no longer happen now.

  Fortunately no but I’ve been personally robbed though when they took the cash in my wallet. I still carry around cash. > I saw a video of a bus driver who got a shotgun shoved into his face I too have seen videos of violence. Welcome to the internet. EDIT: note that I don’t disagree with some exceptions and going mainly cashless. Most people will be cashless as it’s convenient. But I’m arguing for that having 5% to 10% cash usage in our society is better than 100% cashless.
