“Woman Sues National Park Service After Being Told She Can’t Use Cash to Pay Entry Fee”
As someone who has spent decades car-camping all over the US, I’ve wondered if this would be implemented. The point is to establish monetary-surveillance over people who are “away from a fixed point of surveillance” for too long.
And it’s ridiculous, because when I’m travelling from campsite to campsite, it’s impossible to deal with credit cards…you don’t have even part-time staff at many state parks anymore. You have to leave cash in a metal box. Which reveals how this is not about convenience in any way.
Also, cash is legal tender for all debts (payments) public or private.
Also, if you really want to bake your noodle: why are we required to pay to use “public” lands?
