dysan819··on Sweden's cashless society is no longer a utopia
You have a severe lack of imagination. You must be fun at parties.

There are a myriad of ways Sweden can and probably is enforcing cashless trends through surveillance and coercion.

This enhances their ability to track and control all monetary transactions for any number of reasons (nefarious or otherwise).

dysan819··on Why is setState asynchronous?
It sounds like you don't have experience with redux and how it is used, which makes me surprised that you have such a strong opinion about it.

Redux makes available state that is required globally, like the contents of your todo list or other properties that must persist as you navigate a web app. Components will store their own state for their specific requirements.

I suggest reading up on redux use cases to find out more before dismissing it entirely.
