# O Rly?
Who do you work for? My old company started selling them quite a while ago. It appears they are doing quite well out of it!

# The company that shall not be named.
As I know some folks here who may or may not be on work for one of our clients. MY client, to be precise.

# pre-paid cards?
Oh my word. It's another way of flouncing finance regulations to give money to those that need it most yet can pay it back least.
Not that I have a problem with keeping the downtrodden down but me. It fucks up the futures market.

# And it's also a damn good way of providing bonuses.
I don't work in the financial sector, I should point out.

# I'm not at all concerned with how you earn your money.
I am frightfully opposed to the manner in which your employers earn theirs though.

# Of which you know.....nothing.
We don't give money to anyone, we provide internal services for large employers. are you opposed to external payroll providers? We're very similar.

Sorry love, but I know more about my employers than you do.

# Not gonna happen.
What will happen is that people wont be able to get mortgages on houses, so they will rent and it will become a market dictated by the buyers, so rent will fall majorly, leaving people with lots of spare cash to spend on sweeties and beer. Ergo, Visa and Mastercard and High Street Shops will get lots of money!

# Duh...
Lots of people wanting to rent = up goes demand = UP goes rent.

That + higher oil prices + higher inflation (now the BoE is also N Rock) = less disposable cash.

Going to happen.
