I wonder if HB4903 passes and is implemented, would it hasten a digital currency nationwide using Texas as a model? I've been intentional at using the staffed checkout lines and paying with cash, Not that my piddly actions will have impact. I admit that the first few times paying with cash felt like being the only one not wearing a mask ;-), it's such a rarity for someone not to use a credit card!
California is media's "poster child state" for leading the Federal government in the "right" direction, and Texas is the opposite. As usual, media has reality backwards. (If everyone were the peaceful anarchist that I am, they would completely lose their desire to be governed period. Then we would not be, and we could enjoy prosperity and peace.)
Bravo for Texas! This is an issue that needs to be figured out and settled, for the entire nation. (And incidentally, my first reading of your early paragraphs raised the thought of, good heavens, is this the first step toward Texan succession?). I have been in stores that post a sign at checkout saying ‘credit cards only, no cash sales’ and thought, uh, is that legal? Isn’t there a law saying you have to accept the dollar as legal tender? So good for Texas challenging the whole matter of what is allowed to be ‘money’ - this might have to go all the way to the Supreme Court.
