I feel its a good thing. The UK is clinging onto the past, needs to evolve, embrace change and diversity.

I haven't lived in HK for sometime.

But living in HK, as an Expat right now is fine and will be in the future.

I would rather live in China than the UK or US right now...

Who says "democracy" is a good thing that actually works. Why am I here in what respect?

Your posts usually are good for amusement, am sure most are in jest.

Quite a few on here know me and know who I am. You could call me progressive yes and have good insight to here in Asia.

I don't know, ask yourself as BOTS tend to have limited intelligence, understanding and empathy of which you display these characters.

Maybe you need reprogramming or your limited AI can be enhanced from people in this forum?
 
Self service tills, card only, cashless society, numbers on spreadsheets ............... its your freedom they are taking bit by bit.
 
Shops and businesses insisting on non cash payment only doesn’t feel right to me. I suspect it’s all about what benefits and is convenient to the banking industry and not what benefits and is convenient to the general public.

Personally I’ll keep using cash as and when I can, and if there’s a choice between a business such as Starbucks that doesn’t take cash and one that does just down the road, then Starbucks will lose my business.
 
Can't remember the last time I used cash for any purchase, since 2020 the change has really moved forwards. Not a problem for me, but shops should still accept cash for those who wish to use it.
