>>4427180My kid brought up at the age of 10 that it would be neat if you could buy things by trading goods and services. I said money is easier to manage. He said, "yeah, but it's just paper and metal. It's not worth anything".
He's on the right path, I just hope he doesn't consider the communist fork. We need the gold standard, or at least tangible credit towards something of value. Imagine if currency was backed by federal land. You could cash in your good goy points for a parcel of land. Reminds me of when the USSR sold off everything with vouchers.
