Amsterdam’s Homeless Go Cashless With New Wearable Device

This device might make you wonder who would want to walk up to a homeless person and press a button on their jacket to make them a cashless donation to help pay for their food or shelter.
If you think about it, though, this does address several interesting issues. Firstly, donors don't need cash and can be sure the money goes to food or shelter. More importantly, it offers more humanity than walking by and dropping some change into a bucket. This is one of those ideas that might not work ... but it would be a beautiful thing in the world if it did.
