Is it an interesting admission? Because the entire thing has been a farce from the beginning with the result already predetermined.

You realize the GOP is in charge of this "show trial", right? Interesting admission there.

Honestly I don't think this is true but it often feels that liberals in cities do everything they can to enable crime. ...

But this law isn't doing that. It's not doing anything to solve the problem. It's just dumping the problem on small businesses with the same problem...

To prevent 6-25% of households from being fucked over even more, along the way.

Then why fuck over the small low-volume local businesses along the way?

Then those solutions will no doubt manifest and be implemented soon, swiftly making this law redundant.

There are alternative solutions that don't place the entire burden of solving the problem on small businesses that often have the same problem.

It really depends on what you mean by fraud. Banking fraud/scams happens *all the time* but often doesn't involve the merchant being out money. ...

Sorry, but with your history of FYGM Im gonna have to wait for actual studies before going farther with the idea that cash leads to more fraud.

Yes I do think that, both from my own experiences and the quotes from the companies concerned explaining why they made their decisions.

The first one is just theft, but I do see what you mean. It'd make sense that cash transactions result in more tax fraud, but I'm a bit skeptical...

And you think that happens more often, or to a greater financial extent, than people using stolen numbers to make purchases? I'm honestly curious...

Cashier takes payment, gives change, doesn't ring it into the till (or rings through a lower amount) and pockets the cash. Theft and fraud there....

You probably mean something other than the word "fraud", but yeah handling cash increases security costs and requires physical access to your bank...

Yes. Both for businesses and the taxman. For consumers I'm not sure. A hack and an armed robbery are two very different beasts too.
