Cool experiment.

Thank god that at the end of the day, people like you do not control anything, not even your false anger.

Just proof that you're a secret magat. Trust me, my anger at the dismantling of my country is very real.

LMAO you obviously haven't been paying ANY attention in the last 10 years. If you don't get why people absolutely hate Trump, you're probably actually a Magat. Because the whole fucking world hates Trump.

Those comments are in criminal violation of his oath of office. He should be impeached, convicted, and removed. Of course there will be nothing but crickets.

You just can't make this shut up. Nobody, I mean nobody would believe it if you wrote it.

There's a few reasons. Firstly greed is a motivator, and people work hard if they believe they'll receive more for more effort. This gets people to go out and generate the resources that need to be distributed. Second, fungible tokens allow people to trade on the open market instead of having to find a particular person who is willing to trade say, a worm gear for a bale or two of cotton. The token is the middle man that allows someone trying to sell something sell to someone who doesn't have what the seller plans to finally trade for. That's why money started to exist in the first place.

Even in a communist system, there needs to be a way to transfer the results of labor into the things a person needs. Money is that way. Even if it means everyone gets the same amount of money to buy what they need. Everyone's resource needs are different. You can't just say everyone gets the exact same everything.

Finally, we're not post-scarcity. Not really. Until resource manufacture is so automated that it doesn't require people to do labor to acquire it, we either pay people to do the labor or we force them to via slavery. For that reason alone, we need money.

True. Radio is word of mouth, and the other forms of media are even slower. When one can sit down and doomscroll tik tok for an hour and be exposed to orders of magnitude more information, things are going to change more quickly.

If there was a tariff fee in the invoice, there would be standing.

There's no accounting for taste.
