In China, you can’t exist without a smartphone, because for all existential things you have to do (paying bills, buying tickets etc.) , you are forced to use the almighty wechat app. Smartphones are a tool to manipulate and to spy on the population. It is a tool utilized by the ruling class, to control the masses. I hate the future and I hate “progress”.
That’s interesting. It led me to the Fed site (looking into the details here) and it does turn out there are no federal (but there are state and municipal laws) about accepting/refusing cash. TIL
