Being forced into the cash economy means being victimized by crime.

The flower, vegetable, and mushroom farms near me don't have to deal with that. The farm that grows baby Marijuana plants has to hold a bunch of cash and gets robbed. This is California, so it's all theoretically legal, but it's not equal.

I think that's the unspoken part of conservative policy in this area: the victims deserve the consequences of their immoral activity.

Don't want to get robbed? Don't grow drugs. Don't want to have your naked photos/videos posted on the internet? Don't have sex before you're an adult. Or not married, or whatever.

Eh, that seems like a stretch. I doubt it's so subversive.

Sure it's the de facto state of things, but when conservatives don't like things they tend to do so outright, e.g. the recent Supreme Court ruling.

Plus is it really policy keeping Visa away from these trades? Or internal forces withing Visa?
