    Weird also that the guy from ABBA is a 'vocal advocate' or whatever against cash.

    What a weird celebrity cause...

    But there are pockets of resistance. Hanna Celik, whose family owns a newspaper kiosk in a Stockholm shopping mall, says the digital economy is all about banks seeking bigger earnings.


    Yep, and whenever any real resistance develops, expect a bank robbery, or some kind of massacre somewhere to make sure that sanity never gets an airing. The bankers (we know who they are) would have no problem sacrificing a few of their lowly serfs if it meant not only the license to print money but the license to tax.
