It's not free to run a payments network. So who should pay for it? Tax payer funded?
Who pays to design, print/mint, transport cash? It's always been taxpayers
Two options:
Don't go cashless.
Go cashless but fees = $0.
Idgaf how it works, but it's asinine to have a $4 a month account keeping fee and pay per transaction to store and spend your own money. If it gets any worse I'll be pulling all my cash out and going cash only for everything.
Financial institutions should bear the cost as the cost of the privilege of having a banking license
