Some people already live in a cashless (a d moneyless) society already - the homeless and those who are incarcerated. Also children. They tend to barter and trade for stuff. It's not that crazy of an idea, most people figure it out.

Whoever wrote this has very little imagination. Most of this is already not true
This is some boomer facebook shit.
I have a Paypal credit card reader I keep with me because I do commissioned work on the side, it's the size of a stick of gum, I can take a payment anywhere, I've paid friends for dinner or other things with a quick tap and use it at garage sales.
Not saying I WANT a cashless society, nor do I think anyone is seriously pushing this issue because if you did away with cash people will come up with something to use as cash the very same day. But I do think this weird image/article is extremely 1-dimensional and likely published in some Christian magazine to reinforce the right-wing fear that anything will ever change at all.

Some restaurants deliberately stopped accepting cash to exempt homeless people from patronage. Imagine being so gross that you change your policies to bar people from getting food.

This is so myopic. Most of the world can send money via email. None of those things in the bottom will go away, save for a few tangibles. The gestures and transactions can still absolutely happen.
