    A hurdle of your own making.
    But we established yours is so similar to the financial system that running within it is possible and even preferable. Stop putting up road blocks and give it a go.

    No, you established yourself a preference that I did not. Not my problem you can't see past your own preference and the roadblocks you put up to stop yourself from gaining a higher understanding. The roadblocks certainly aren't mine.

    Yet another hurdle of your own making.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    We established a shared understanding of your system, we shared the understanding that the core principals behind both yours and the financial system were the same. You've created a road-block to achieving your utopia by arbitrarily assigning its borders to a whole country, I have not. I'm living my utopian system, you are not living in yours.

    No we didn't, because you're still asking questions and making false assumptions based on what you believe that I believe. You believe it is impossible outwith being able to grow it organically, I believe there is a more efficient manner i.e. offering to put in place something that will offer everyone single person the same options. As you say, there will likely those who self organise before the change. Good on them. But it's not my view of how it has to be. I said it would take a country to make it more likely to stick, not to restrict anything and also to prove to the world that it is possible on a large scale, so there are no roadblocks as it is still a natural progression.

    Nothing has been shown to be false so far. No, I do not. Nor do I beleive you think that is how it has to be, we both just know that is how it could be. Given that point, why do you not live that way? why wait? why create your own roadblocks?

    Depends on the definition of "resource".

    In your case it's obviously "whatever I say it means". And it changes from day to day.

    In fact in the context of "economy", "resource" is a weasel word, coined by people who like to consider other people's "resources" as available for general consumption.

    The customer says yes.

    I don't borrow money at 18%.

    No matter where the money came from it's the bank's liability, if the loan doesn't earn at least inflation level interest over a couple of decades or goes tits up in the meantime you've certainly lost rather a lot haven't you?

    If you don't like either the cost or the source of the loan then you have the ultimate control over that situation: Don't borrow it.

    Is the act of making money off a loan concidered working for it
