The Push Against Cashless Stores

Posted by Bethany Wood on Thu, Jun 18, 2020

Prior the coronavirus outbreak, there was a growing rate of stores and businesses no longer accepting cash.

There are two legitimate concerns when thinking about reopening the country: the physical health and well-being of citizens and the economic health and well-being of citizens. President Trump’s initial hope to see the country reopened by Easter was met with a lot of backlash from healthcare professionals and economists that said it was too soon and would wind up doing more harm than good.

As digital natives are entering adulthood, we’re seeing a shift in the “American Dream.” Young people are becoming more and more detached from tradition. Less people are getting married, buying homes, having children, attending church, or joining political parties, among other things.
