It's discrediting valid concerns against card-payments. It's invalidating how great cash is.

It's when the worst person you know makes a good point.

And things now are so Culture-Wars-y, nobody makes solid analyses any more, that when the far-right say cards are bad, everybody jumps to thinking cards are good.

Can't argue with that analysis, pretty solid.

Anything offered without an argument can be negated without an argument.

ok: you never have the correct change, oftentimes you get changed short, takes up too much space, you have to balance between not carrying too little and not carrying too much, hard to track spending (can be your upside, i understand)

i believe that we need the option to use cache in society, but it sucks ass to actually use it day-to-day

I mean your observations are correct, but I feel your reaction is sensationalism.

For hundreds of not thousands of years we've dealt with it. That's not just, coping because there isn't a better option, Humans are pretty capable when they're not lazy
