Cash on Demand: A New Way to Get Rich Quick?

In the past, bagmen were shady characters in movies, carrying stolen goods. They had to be careful not to attract attention. But times have changed. Now, you can get a bag of cash delivered to your door. It's like having your own personal ATM. Robinhood, a company that helps people invest in stocks, has teamed up with Gopuff, a delivery app. They offer a service where you can order cash and have it delivered to your home or office. It's like ordering a pizza, but instead of food, you get money. There is a fee for this service. It's $6. 99 for most people. But if you have a lot of money in your Robinhood account, the fee is lower. It's $2. 99 if you have $100, 000 or more. This service is available in New York City and will soon be in other big cities. But why would people need this? Most young people in cities use credit cards or their phones to pay for things. They don't usually carry cash. It's a bit strange to think about ordering cash like a takeout meal. This service could make things easier for people who need to deliver cash for illegal reasons. They can just order it and have it delivered. They don't have to worry about being caught with the cash. There are rules, though. No deliveries after 7 p. m. And the bags are unmarked, so the delivery person doesn't know what's inside. This service reminds people of past scandals where cash was involved. Like the former aide to New York City's mayor who put cash in a potato chip bag. Or the senator who had hundreds of thousands of dollars hidden in his home. It's interesting to think about how this service could have made those situations different.
