#2Off topic but the writing style is so weird. It's sad they have to make articles a few paragraphs with a bolded titles to get people to read.

#3Interesting. I get why you'd want to ban cashless business, but many business in a nearby town with a high crime rate are going cashless because you can't rob a Square reader quite as easily as a cash register.

Almost impossible to read actually. What even do some of the bolded parts have to do with the parts that follow them?
'Driving the news', 'Zoom in' and 'zoom out' seem just like spurious titles.

Here's a slightly more intelligble article:

At first I thought they were banning cash-only businesses, but it is in fact the opposite. Businesses must now accept cash in Washington D.C.

I know a business that went cash-only for the same reason in reverse: the thieves were doing it via chargebacks saying they never heard of the place. Couldn't win disputes even with video evidence.
They put in an ATM, can't charge that back.

#7Instead of banning cashless businesses because it's discriminatory to the unbanked perhaps they should focus on reducing discrimination in the banking sector and providing a publicly run electronic payment system.

#8Ridiculous.
Why not also then force cash only businesses into taking card and mobile payments also?

#9I would rather Walmart and Home Depot be forced to accept mobile payments than this. (But I don't really support either case)

That's Axios for you. I'm sure it appeals to some people.
