"circumvent" the US dollar as the "world currency?"
3) What would a greater adoption of the "digital yuan" mean for
the dollar?

China's relations with the US and the world?
5) Are currencies of this sort the future?

Query:
Given the two big narratives from the year -- the ongoing
pandemic and the ongoing fight for racial justice -- what can we
expect from holiday shopping this year? Here are some of our
assumptions:
1. Stores will be limiting shoppers, and Black Friday lines will
be terrible.
2. Many shoppers will be looking to support Black-owned
businesses, small/local businesses, and other places to "vote
with their dollars."
3. Shopping online or shopping curbside might impact what you
buy -- some product categories lend themselves to shopping
online, while others don't.
4. Some might opt for gift cards as a way of supporting small
businesses.
