United will no longer be accepting cash for the meals on board their flights as of April 20. And they are apparently one of the last airlines to still take cash. There have always been jokes of a time when you can no longer use money, and I’ve always been sceptical of this actually happening, but I was obviously wrong. This makes me wonder when other, more grounded places, will mo longer accept cash.

United’s new “no cash policy” is sharpely contrasted with the fact that some businesses still don’t accept credit cards at all. Tapioca Express didn’t accept credit cards until the middle of last year, and there’s still one that doesn’t I believe. But many busiesses don’t because of profit-eating credit card processing fees, which usually range from 2-4%. So I guess now is the time to buy some stock in credit card companies.

This may be old news, but not for me. Pretty soon they’ll just stop printing money outright, and it will be a tale for grandkids: “Back when I was young, money was printed on little pieces of paper and small pieces of metal.”. And no one will belive that such a rme existed, and how on Earth (or Mars…) did we ever get along?
