Businesses are switching to cashless payment only during the pandemic as people enact social distancing to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This comes after stopping the use of non-disposable cups in cafes and the general reduction of the use of cash across society. This could well be the tipping point to make cashless payments the norm across the world. Some believe it could well be the start of killing off the use of cash for good.

It's not paranoia if you know they are out to get you.

    Just because they are out to get you, don't mean you aren't paranoid.

    So people are paranoid even though they don't know it?

    Sounds about right, all those people who repeat "nothing to hide" are probably minutely shifting their daily interactions with the thought sitting in the back of their minds "someone might record and post this on Soylent News! Fuckin' martyb will never let that shit go!!"
