Florida May Stop Businesses from Going Cashless
I find this ironic. Everything I have heard/read in the last 3 years involved moving toward a cashless society. You know, so that every single transaction can be monitored and taxed. And also so that they can turn off your ability to buy things if you don't behave. AKA the CCP model.
