Coronavirus may Help End the Reign of Cash

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.

    Meh, checking on weed buyers is far down towards the bottom of my list.
    There is something to be said for growing your own. :-)
    I just harvested a Nirvana's Chrystal(Northern LightsxWhite Widow, 28% THC+2.3%CBD), with another of the same ready in 2 days, a Purple Urkle ready to harvest next weekend, along with a $100 OG Kush, and at the end of April, a Berry Nice ready for harvest.

    No digital transactions? No credit/debit cards? No cash? No worries, have dank, frosty weed that I legally grow.

    What? Me worry? :-)
