This is what will happen everywhere in the future.
We are very close to the end of cash. In the future all money will be centrally controlled by the government. All payments, both for individuals and businesses, will be going in your government provided bank account. All taxes, charges, fines etc will be deducted directly from it.
Itâs tricky to get hands on cash in suburbia now without incurring prohibitive fees. A lot of bank branches are closing down. Even though your standard AIB/BOI/UB ATM withdrawal incurred a small current account fee or whatever, these branch ATMs are increasingly being replaced by these Euroconnex yokes or others like it. You go to withdraw âŹ50 and a message appears onscreen saying youâll be charged âŹ3.99 for the privilege. An absolute disaster for anyone paying cash in hand to cleaners, handy women, babysitters or looking to tip delivery drivers.
Itâs a discussion forum. Not sure what your issue is with newsworthy stuff being discussed, you donât have to pay attention if you donât want to.
I have no problem with anything being discussed,
I was replying to you as you replied to me, my point being that âweâ werenât discussing the situation in China at all, itâs just an excuse for more of the âCovid is a codâ stuff being dragged up again
