"while some unemployed people selling street magazines now also accept electronic payments." This was hard to grasp when I saw it IRL for the first time. My local candy store and deli[0] both accept Mobile Pay and it's a strange thing to witness. Imagine the NYC delis, usually owned by immigrants and minorities who couldn't care less, suddenly be on the frontier of adoption of a cashless system. It's that user friendly. And the nature of the businesses (selling cigarette singles and imported sodas) mean you do have a suspicion of it being off the books.. Another anecdote, I just started a record label[1] and for our first show, we accepted cash and Mobile Pay. We're small, it was in a private apartment, but so many people do not bring cash anymore we basically had to accept MP.
