I'd rather see an accounting of where all the $$$ we poured into Afghanistan went but I'm sure many in government would rather we don't ever know that.
If it's anything like what went on on Iraq (wiki leaks) then it was blank checks all around with pallets of cash doled out to buy "informants" .
Or maybe due to the pandemic many started using debit cards believing it safer than always handling cash? I also wonder if maybe 'card only' is being done as a protection from 'funny money'?
In the beginning we were told corona was on everything and nobody was safe.
But once it was determined airborne then the story was people hoarding money at home because of lockdowns and social distancing (they weren't going out).
But now..with much of society back to normal there is still "card only" signs all over and no explantion as to why.
I asked the tellers at my bank (I take $100 cash allowance a month) and they don't even know why.
I'll start worrying when the bank tells me they have no cash.

That must be where you are. Here in North Carolina, I've never seen a no cash sign. I've seen 'please have exact change' signs, but even that's been a while. I never stopped using cash, during the pandemic, and no business ever refused to take my cash.

I use self checkout whenever possible. when not I also still get asked for exact change.
If Yellen wants to find the real tax gap, it is the 50%+ of taxpayers paying no federal income tax and in many cases getting more money back than they paid in. My word these people are nuts!
Civil Asset Forfeiture Laws in the last 20 years have been used against people who have no criminal history they just deposited cash in a bank the IRS thought was suspicious. Lot of stories online you can read about it some are business's some are just people who sold a vehicle for 20-25k were driving though states with cash. Counties sheriff's usually in southern states will pull someone over without any law being violated they use Civil Asset Forfeiture take the cash and the victim finds out the cost to pay an attorney is more then 5000-20k they took from them.
