The cash economy is nothing to sniff at ;) It is big in NYC and other places with high taxes and bureaucratic meddling. Cash was one of the great inventions.

Yeah, there is a Sicilian New Yorker called "Gambino" who has been advertising "protection from ISIS" in European newspapers lately. From what I read his father was big at selling protection for cash, and now he is taking up his father's business and selling protection from ISIS. To prove his value, he claimed ISIS is so afraid of his organisation that Sicily is a place they never dare visit. Presumably Gambino's business model depends on a cash based economy, or at least it did. Sturla
