the person posting this is probably a hardcore leftist who can't wait for everyone to be driving an electric car.. or for all small business owners to be crushed.. all electronic money means government can stop transactions for gun purchases and whatever they want..and FORCED injections??
nah.. we would fight against all this
Quoting: Butterfly girl I lean left but I'm not a "hardcore leftist". Reality of what's happening and documenting / tracking it historically and using repeated patterns to lay out a framework based on trends isn't political. I'm more Libertarian in it's truest form than anything else.
You must have missed the part about local / boutique retail being a big part of the future. Just in case you do not understand the definition for the word "boutique" it's
BOUTIQUE
noun: boutique; plural noun: boutiques
1. a small store selling fashionable clothes or accessories.
2. a business or establishment that is small and sophisticated or fashionable
Because of all the covid shit, many people have rallied behind and supported local small business. I see that continuing. And, omg, egads, GASP... I own several small businesses.
