“Fast forward a few years and what’s being rolled out right now is exactly what I described - except ultimately, this system won’t just cover vaccines, it will define and govern all acceptable behavior.”
A spirit of fear does not come from God. Most transactions are already digital. There will be no substitute for cash. It has been used for millennia. The only way to secure elections in this tossed salad of peoples that now constitute our population is by effective voter ID. Also, the elimination of the current idea of birthright citizenship will go a long way in securing elections. While extreme actions are possible with CBDC, I don’t think they will be able to exercise such onerous control without severe pushback.
Problem is people have been talking about “severe push-back” for ages but it’s all talk and never happens
When someone knows they could basically have their ability to function in society turned off in an instant the “push-back” will become even more unlikely.
