During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding a newspaper article suggesting that the RCSC (Regional Community Services Council) is considering transitioning to a cashless system. This proposal has sparked significant apprehension among community members, who fear the implications of relying solely on credit cards for transactions.
One participant expressed that the move away from cash could undermine American values, drawing a comparison to challenges faced by Communist China in adopting a cashless economy. The speaker emphasized the importance of maintaining diverse payment options, advocating for the return of traditional payment methods such as cash, credit cards, and checks.
The discussion highlights a growing unease about the potential loss of cash transactions, reflecting broader societal concerns about financial privacy and accessibility in an increasingly digital economy.
