Yes most of us don't really cary cash , but you still have a small amount of control over your money.
Once a full blown cashless society takes place you LOSE all control in many ways most people don't think of.
It goes way beyond having an ATM credit card in the pocket because guess what , take someone who owes child support they shut off all access to your bank, all access to you cash . Then what.

Look what happens when the welfare system has a glitch in their EBT cards they have access to NOTHING.
