Need a sci-fi story that parses how a technology to invoke a communistic equity-based-currency society would work, and the pitfalls it would face.
I would eat that shit up.

Speeding tickets in Finland do this based on your daily disposable income.

As a gaming enthusiast I would love this!!! Titles now are like 70-130 dollars.

The ultra rich people would likely just find some loophole so they’ll be declared as low income in the system like how they evade taxes nowadays though

Logically, this might lead to businesses prioritizing higher paying customers above all else.
Like, if a Kardashian entered a coffee shop, and there was a queue of 5 working people before her, business would make 2000x more profit by discarding 5 people’s orders and rushing to serve the Kardashian.
Wouldn’t that like… make everything worse?

It’s also a terrible system because the cost of stuff is based on the “value” of the object. Care to consider that life saving cancer drug is $250K?
