doesn't go far enough.

Criminals drive cars, bank robberies, kidnappers, murderers. they all use cars, drug cartels use them to transport drugs across the country.
we should ban cars.

Criminals also use clothes, they like to hide weapons in their pants, they carry drugs in their pockets, and in special hidden pockets.

we should ban clothes too.

you know what, that's still not far enough.

Criminals, they have babies, and babies can grow up to be criminals, we need to stop that before it even starts. I say we sterilize everyone. can't be too careful future criminals are born every second!

The point of this post is that banning physical cash because criminals use it is RIDICULOUS just like the suggestions I made. Now I don't use physical cash if I can help it, I have debit cards and credit cards I prefer to use, but to get rid of something just because criminals use it? Why might as well ban breathing air, Criminals do that too.

Lots of hookers only accept cash.

No way anyone in DC is going to do away with it based on that fact alone.

So long as we still get charged a fee using credit in many places, cash isnt going anywhere.

It will never happen because when it does and cash transactions go away many many businesses, large and small, will not be able to "hide" certain things via untraceable cash transactions. This means business will have to claim more and pay more taxes. That will never happen.

Whatever physical cash you are carrying on you can be taken by criminals.
However every digital penny that you own can be hacked away while sitting in a bank's database.
Until we get to a more digitally secure future, physical money please.

1. They're not allowed to charge you a fee for using credit.


2. You pay an around-the-back fee anyhow because the card company charges the merchant 2%. Everyone is already paying more right now because of credit cards. You just don't see it on your bill because that way stupid people don't realize they're paying it.
