Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

To pay my rent I would have to take my paycheck physically to a bank, cash my check, use that cash to buy multiple money orders, and then mail those money orders. Keep in mind this has to be done early enough to be delivered before the 1st and that the bank is mostly open when I'm at work.
Have an "empty" account where you put only the money you need to transfer and do the transfer right after that.
So, in other words, don't use cash?
For the things that require you to pay by transfer.
NYC Philly Denver San Francisco NJ DC
All these require businesses to accept cash. The only states where it was proposed and shut down was in red states; ND MS
"85% of sellers who accept cash and use the online payment processing service Square said they never plan to stop taking cash, according to Shelle Santana, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School who has been analyzing Square transaction data."
Republicans don't care about discriminating against unbanked people. Sounds like you probably live in a Republican hell hole
What point are you trying to make? Nothing you said addresses any of the barriers to using cash exclusively that I brought up. My landlord doesn't live nearby so I can't exactly just go hand him a massive wad of cash nor will my employer pay me in cash so I don't have to get to a bank during business hours.
I live in California by the way.
You're probably telling them something they're already viscerally aware of.
