Björn Eriksson, formerly chief of police of Sweden (rikspolischef) is opposed to the cashless society which he - and I agree with him here - thinks will lead to a 'digital dictatorship' [1, Swedish, feed it to a translator if you don't speak børk børk børk]. For those who have any doubt I'd just point to the way the soon-to-be-previous Canadian government tried to quell the trucker protests - by blocking their bank accounts - and the spate of 'de-banking' episodes which hit those who went against some desired narrative. Not that such examples should be necessary here given that everyone frequenting this forum probably knows how easy it is to both track as well as block digital transactions: I'm sorry Dave but I can not let you buy more ${product} today, you have reached your quota for this month Your purchase of ${product} will be ${percentage}% more expensive for reasons of product access equity Or, the opposite: Registered ${party} members get ${percentage}% off around ${election} time at ${store} - register now! So, pay with cash every now and then, shun places which explicitly state not to accept cash when alternative venues are available in the area, support proposals to mandate traders to accept cash. https://radio.bubb.la/inslag/2018-12-02-003 https://radio.bubb.la/inslag/2018-12-02-003
