Yes it does. It has the power to stop things from being done. That is not humans not putting in the effort or being stupid, it's an economic fact that a finite pot of money is available to undertake a particular task.
Nahhhh, just cutting through the bullshit that people hide behind, but using emotivity and the language of my home town as the method of conveying truth this time![]()

ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa... we can't put money into alternative energy, because it is required for updating the payroll system for schools, or for irrigation projects for food production, or for roading, or for healthcare etc... the resources, materials, man power, know how, the will are there, the only thing that isn't is the money.

So theres a big pile of money sitting in a big room, how is that money bad? Not the people who are holding it there, the money itself?![]()
For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

I hope you don't have a dog. Another dog will eat it.
Because if the money didn't exist in the first place, neither the money nor the people could be considered bad. Is it because the money exists that we see the behaviours.
No. I'm focussing on recognised issues. WTF! seriously? You're saying that we currently don't have a global resource based economy? Come on, apply at least a little thought to that statement.
Or it will die trying.

"It's pretty fuckin bad in a lot of places, so no, money is bad because it is a limiter, not the enabler that gets touted and it damages and hinders the lives of billions on a daily basis. Thems is facts baby, not fictions..."
Those are not facts. For you to put the fault on money, you would have to demonstate it was the financial system that did those things, not other factors like human douchebaggery, resource scarcity, etc...
I'm saying that money created the one we have, and it is no small feat. It was to point out that if you focused on more positive stuff you might see just what money has given us, has enabled us to do![]()

The only way to truly do that is to remove the financial system and see. What product/good/service is free of financial constraint?
I'm not denying what the financial system has achieved, what I am saying is that without the financial system we would have achieved more as we would not have had financial constraints to limit research or hold back technology. The reason that we have smart bombs is because someone wanted to make a smart bomb. The only reason a smart bomb came in to being was because finance was used to turn that idea into a reality. If a lack of "investment" is held up as the reason for not doing anything, which it usually is, then money/the financial system has stopped that anything from being achieved irrespective of the benefits it will yield. It impedes true progress and to a large extent limits cooperation. Yes money has taken us a long way, but there has been a very real human cost too, and that cost needn't have been paid had we have put in place that which is consistently reported that we cannot afford.

So you're saying that everyone's time and skill is equal? I should pay the same to someone to weed my garden, as I should to fix my car as I should to perform surgery on my knee?
Question about money: What does a car mechanic do, in a moneyless world, if he needs bread but none of the bakers need their car fixed?
I'm saying that we shouldn't have to pay at all, as all of those jobs are requirements for society to tick. Start removing those jobs and see how far ya get. My face example being binmen. Remove the binmen, watch disease rise, see waiting lists extend, watch more people die, see more docrots and nurses become disease ridden etc... It's all required, so why put a price on which is more important. Similarly with clean air, clean water and clean land. Start fucking with those and nobody lives.
He goes to the shop and picks up a loaf of bread. A dead mechanic is of no use (Soylent Green), neither is a stockpile of stale bread.
