Cashless society is to gather transaction fees and get rich and to track your data.
Imagine in a cashless society you pay a fee for every transaction. Where would that go? Hmm. But if you py cash, that "someobody" doesn't get their fee, and we can't have that now can we.
Also in a cashless society so follow thee thieves, what happens if you get hacked and no more cashless cash? Now imagine using a chinese style social ranking that hits a point where the govt or the cashless control corporation deems it that you cannot use your cashless cash, essentially making you broke, getting you evicted, losing insurance, and starving, and sitting in the dark.
Cash is legal tender. Not accepting will get you sued
One lib-prog complaint about cashless is homeless and poor people (e.g. illegal aliens) use cash and dont have cashless accounts, that would be drained from maintenance fees anyways.
