The vaccinated will never boycott so the impact will be minimal - unfortunately.

But if they're worried about where this country is heading, they might hoard their money. Which is the same thing as far as the retailer is concerned.

So we seem to be their experiment then. We're well ahead of you on all of those. China and Britain (Brexit as a staged operation including encouraging Poles to come?) together on it?

Just putting it out there although it still doesn't account for the 80 billion of American military equipment left in Afghanistan. Well at least I don't think that it does.

The Polish numbered what 2 million or so a few years ago in Britain? Their existence in England, or Britain maybe, raised the heckles of the working class who had to compete for jobs and gave Brexit some of its sustenance, maybe even most of it. Yet there are closer countries to Poland with arguably better living conditions (Austria, Germany even maybe France) and so although there were expatriate Poles in those countries as well the main flow seems to have been to Britain. Did they get encouragement?

It's not as if this dystopia has not been planned for a while.

Working class tradespersons in London were pissed that the poles did the jobs for less wages pricing them out of the market, I didn't share their views because that is about divide and conquer and at the end of the day, greedy brits who employed them for low wages pinned their own country men against each other, so there is no loyalty when it comes to cash? Yeah this dystopia been planned for a good while, what is the answer to this?

The fiat currencies are more or less worth nothing compared to say what they were a 100 years ago. This is what happens to all Fiat currencies although I'm not sure of the history of the American dollar before the Federal Reserve (a scumbag outfit) and the current ones are reaching their end of usefulness status.

Central Bank Digital currencies are being pushed as the replacement in many places. NZ is maybe second behind only somewhere in China on trying to roll this shit coin out. The idea is that it will be a replacement for fiat currencies (i.e. the dollar, the pound etc) and will be tied to your social credit score and to your ability to purchase items (or more likely rent the non-disposable ones). If your social credit is down or the local government doesn't think you should be buying ice creams then you won't be able to.

Alternatives are bitcoin (El Salvador) or ripple (they have a court case that if they win I think the currency will take off & if adopted by say Di Santis even more so).

Personally I prefer cash or barter. These are relatively untraceable in regards to what you buy and if I have a 10 pound note it's not going to get rejected at the ice cream store.

I was very disappointed to see this alternative to the pound crash out into the digital domain.
