Without cash,the fake money economy can flourish. Just transfer a number from one account to another--who'll know the difference? Does anyone even have auditors anymore?

Here in the progressive paradise of Oregon, legislatures actually got something right for once by signing into law: The Oregon Law and Cash Acceptance bill

Excerpt from AI generated explanation:
.
"Oregon's Senate Bill 1565, signed into law in 2022, generally requires businesses to accept U.S. currency. This means businesses must accept cash as a form of payment for most purchases, with some exceptions".

It's kind of toothless though, there are no penalties if you ignore the law, it's like a token gesture more than anything.

I've been through this with my woke friends and relatives. They're all for it and when I explain why it's bad, they suggest I want to do sneaky or illegal things with my money. They want 1984 to get here and can't wait for it to happen.

You know this but symbolic laws are no laws,Jerry.
