Mayors in the Netherlands are actively promoting "Pin Everything" Saturdays to encourage citizens to use debit cards instead of cash for safety and efficiency. Simultaneously, a Tufts University study highlights the high costs and fees associated with cash usage for low-income individuals. The hosts argue these coordinated efforts across continents are designed to force users into digital systems where banks can extract transaction fees.
