The Lawn Care Guy Does Not Have a Card Reader, The Dog Walker Cannot Wait 3 Days for a Bank Transfer, The QR Code Just Became the Payment Terminal of the Informal Economy - QR Code Press (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is a laminated square, slightly battered at the edges. It links to a Venmo account. When a client has cash and wants to use it, the cleaner points to the bag. When a client forgot to get cash but has their phone, the cleaner points to the bag. The transaction takes fifteen seconds. No card reader. No processing fee. No waiting for money to clear.

Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Georgia spent two years building toward a deadline it had no plan to meet. In 2024, the Republican-controlled Georgia legislature passed a law banning QR codes from ballot tabulation starting July 1, 2026. It was a political statement, shaped by years of claims about the 2020 election and distrust of the Dominion Voting Systems machines the state had adopted in 2019. The ban passed. The deadline was set. Then lawmakers adjourned without appropriating a single dollar for a replacement system. Wha
