But errors spread fast as most of the system depends on a very small set of services. When I was a kid, if one of the neighborhood shops had to close the rest were open. Only a power outage would make many shops stop operating, but many others will work on only-cash and it would be a minor inconvenience.

I hope that taxation is increased globally. That would be the equivalent of reducing the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. And as gigantic animals cannot live in a less oxygen-rich Earth, big corporations cannot live without tax-cuts and special deals with city governments.
