Cash is spent in the local area. If it's in your pocket it generally supports your local area.How? the same amount of cash will circulate regardless
Outages every know and then are probably not as much hassle as dealing with cash.
Pubs etc aren't paying their staff wages in cash, they are banking the cash and depositing their money in their staffs accounts, (unless the staff are tax dodgers.Cash is spent in the local area. If it's in your pocket it generally supports your local area.

I literally have no idea what you are talking about.up to 'super-elite' class absolutely , to the lesser 'upper levels' well that depends on if you can be controlled , in critical areas
god forbid you just crash in perforce of sheer wealth and influence of key levers , say the power or telecommunications networks ., and express unusual ideas in public
Actually it was deposited into my bank account it was the 90’s, which probably helped those savings turn into shares, if I had been paid in cash more of those dollars might have found there way to the corner store, and not been used to build an empire"I hope we never lose sight of one thing, It all started from delivering newspapers as a child"
Surely by your continued push for digital currency, you have denied that same child, the thrill you must have had, opening your first small brown envelope containing a pay slip, crisp notes and change.

You were lucky, I gave mine to my Mum to bank for me in the late 60's, unfortunately apparently the family needed it more than me and it was spent on groceries.Actually it was deposited into my bank account it was the 90’s, which probably helped those savings turn into shares, if I had been paid in cash more of those dollars might have found there way to the corner store, and not been used to build an empire
Compare cash circulation to digital.Pubs etc aren't paying their staff wages in cash, they are banking the cash and depositing their money in their staffs accounts, (unless the staff are tax dodgers.
You seem to think that businesses that accept cash must be filled with staff wondering around town only trading locally, not buying iPhones or Netflix etc etc
I find that suspicious that any newsagents were depositing in a bank account in the 90s. Were you in your 20s as a paper boy?Actually it was deposited into my bank account it was the 90’s,

Although the elderly have embraced digital they are very illiterate on safe usage
I don’t think paying everyone in cash would increase their local spending, as I said people still want all the modern things that aren’t supplied locally. If they were going to spend money locally they will still do it with cash or card, eg TV why aren’t going to avoid the local club because they were paid by direct transfer they will just tap their card.Compare cash circulation to digital.
Physical currency in the pocket is more often spent locally. The only one it was expensive for were the banks or big business. But for the community it added more local jobs.
The downside of digital isn't just the level of fraud aspects but also its ease in shifting money overseas and it's affect on communities.
Cash tends to be spent in the local economy. Digital transactions end up anywhere with the fees straight to banks bottom lines. Now branches are being cut let's add job losses as well.
Straight digital will end up a sh1tshow for multiple reasons at some point.
I am 42 now, was 14 then. It was 1996 and yes the pay was definitely direct deposited, I can remember using “phone banking” on Mondays to check my account balance, (we didn’t have the internet till later).I find that suspicious that any newsagents were depositing in a bank account in the 90s. Were you in your 20s as a paper boy?
No, you are not "thinking" very hard to support your argument. I was making an argument of the disadvantages of convenience tapping.Tap-and-go are about four times higher fees than EFTPOS by the way.I don’t think paying everyone in cash would increase their local spending, as I said people still want all the modern things that aren’t supplied locally. If they were going to spend money locally they will still do it with cash or card, eg TV why aren’t going to avoid the local club because they were paid by direct transfer they will just tap their card.
It would just mean people had to go and deposit their money in a bank before they paid their Netflix subscription or other ways to spend it.
Just giving you stick...I am 42 now, was 14 then. It was 1996 and yes the pay was definitely direct deposited, I can remember using “phone banking” on Mondays to check my account balance, (we didn’t have the internet till later).
I also picked fruit that was paid in cash, $0.90 per kilo of chilli’s from memory, and I delivered pamphlets they were cash at first, but later moved to direct deposit also.
well many decades ago when i was a paper boy ( in the mid-60's ) after a short while when NEWS ltd used to pay a base rate to deliver + a commission and i was only selling 61 papers a week ( that soon grew and grew ) what the newsagent did was calculate how much he was due for the papers/magazines and i kept the restI find that suspicious that any newsagents were depositing in a bank account in the 90s.

It's a brilliant move by the banks.People with cash spend less then people with digital from my business point of view.
I am really shocked how the elderly have embraced digital payments TAP. Sales over $100 has to be broken into payments under that as people can't remember pins.
The amount of people being scammed for not small sums is a worry. Although the elderly have embraced digital they are very illiterate on safe usage and the banks need to be held more responsible I feel.
Phones, watch and rings are used for the middle age group more so then the pure credit card tap.
Nothing more fun then a line of customers and "just wait for me to transfer the funds"
We support 2 local charities in our area both monetary and food collection, the diminishing use of coins has had a significant impact on donations over time and inflation has seen food donation slow down.
I have had to change banks as the one I have been with forever closed the branch over 2 weeks this Xmas.
Although I can never ever see a cashless society it is the majority of everyday people driving that with how they spend.
The big rich people loove it !!It's a brilliant move by the banks.
Tapping something out of laziness or a feeling of anxiousness about holding up the queue. Just the act of tapping incurs higher fees. Everyone too lazy to check their accounts. You can shop 24/7 online so can spend even more. Everyone is in your pocket with subscriptions.
Financial education isn't taught nearly enough at school levels.
Oh what a combination.
