Not gloomy enough! Not even realistic. “reducing the always disconcerting prospect that poor people might use their limited funds to purchase alcohol or tobacco.” Doesn’t the author understand that the alcohol and tobacco, and the pletora of other drugs that will become ‘legalised’, will be continuing tax raisers. The poor will be expected to purchace. There may well be a discount (small of course) to the chipped to encourage others to get chipped.
All that tracking. The system will become overloaded so the people will have to take a night-cap of drugs to keep them quiet and at home. There, or at special entertainment palaces where the authorities can herd them better and they can buy more highly taxed goods, drugs, alcohol etc.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
–Dwight David Eisenhower, “The Chance for Peace,” speech given to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Apr. 16, 1953.
