In my personal opinion these rules would contribute to a very dystopian society. Will Europeans permit these rules to be enacted or are they powerless to stop them? Am I the only one that perceives a major control risk forcing non cash purchases? I am not really able to wrap my head around people letting this happen. If anything, I have been moving further away from banks and debit cards. Amazon was my most recent bad experience and I have been finding it more difficult to reach a real non scripted human. In a completely digital world a person could be financially destroyed nearly instantaneously with no recourse or fall-back plan.
