In this episode, we make a bold case for keeping cash alive in our increasingly cashless society, arguing that the tactile, immediate nature of cash transactions offers a simplicity and honesty that digital payments cannot. From lamenting the sky-high costs of visits to Disneyland and Yankee Stadium, to reminiscing about the nostalgic charm of playing bingo in smoky rooms, we paint a vivid picture of how shifting financial practices are reshaping American capitalism—and not always for the better.
