Oh, now that we are at that - when the finance supervision advances to the point where every bill can be tracked, and the last tax haven open - that will have fun consequences too.
There has been some seething but there ought to be more - this _will_ be the next societal revolution - there should be far more seething.
If there is any silver lining, it's that the transition may be relatively long, 20-40 years with the natural life-cycle of the cage and transport authorities collapsing or contracting heavily.
