Quote from Scataphagos:

"Reduce robberies"... yeah, that's it!

yeah because robbers are not smart enough to think of actually stealing goods. Robbers only steal cash so they can pay for goods honestly.

Yes, I thought that all robbers stole cash, and used that to buy legitimate "medicines."

Sounds like Sweden is the common sense place to be!

Quote from bearice:

Is a money-less society possible for 7 billion people?

There are millions of primitive/tribal people who live without money. They get all their food and water from the forest and land.

How do they cope without a 6 bedroom house and a new BMW every 2 years? You aren't living until you are in debt up to your eyeballs.

What would pimps, hookers, and drug dealers do if society was ever fully cashless?

Do like sleazy strip clubs: sell $500 "champagne bottles" to share privately with the "barmaid", or, sell $10 "special cigars".

Hookers and dealers in my corner of the world are quite capable of handling credit card transactions.

Soon the world will be cashless. Cash is really the outdated remnant of the industrial age.

Good. Get used to Big Brother knowing about every single transaction you make down to what size underwear you wear and how much toilet paper you buy to wipe your ass with.
