It was an attempt at gallows humour.....ya know, like its good news that we're only 1/2 way there....
no doubt its all a conspiracy eh.

Ah, I see. I gave up saying shit I don't mean years ago, people start believing it.

As for conspiracies, there very well might be some around. You'd never know from looking at shit on the internet, though, people there say shit they don't mean all the time. Can't trust the fuckers.

The reason you don't understand the problem is that you don't understand what money is. $1 of paper currency = between $9 and $500 of debt. That is all money is. DEBT

I understand the problem tolerably well, dude, but it's not a problem I actually have.

Possibly because I don't have any debt.

Does that mean all my money is going to disappear into thin air where it came from?

No way

Well I can't speak for your money, but mine comes from my clients, who give it to me in exchange for the work I do for them.

Yes, yes I know that's not what you mean, you don't like the fact that someone else is in control of issuing currency and you don't like the way they do it.

But none of that makes a tiny little bit of difference to the fact that it's primary function is as a unit of exchange, a function it manages perfectly well. Nor does it make a jot of difference that a few like to believe that because the evel bankers simply print the stuff without actually "earning" it then that somehow means that they shouldn't have to earn it either. A belief that, in order to protect themselves from blame for their lack, naturally extends as far as an irrational dislike and overwhelming jealousy of those that somehow manage to do OK simply by actually producing shit that others want to buy.

They could print their own money and set up in competition, of course. If their clients could be brought to have the confidence in their business that most do in the existing versions. Or vote for people who say they will arrange things differently, the way they want. They wouldn't , of course, because most of the alternatives simply don't work, but at least it's an option that stands a slim chance of getting their way. Or they could simply admit that their net worth is, in fact a roughly accurate reflection of their value to their client/s. Either way they should probably also give the evel banker slash IMF conspiracy a break, Stephen.

Not near a pc , so excuse the lack of layout.
Next time you buy a motorcycle , you feed my family , ta.

Yes I dont like monetary system its flawed at the most basic level.

As for starting a new system. it happens all the time. but strangle they tend to get shut down . Bitcoin for example, how long before that gets shut down? they are trying .....

As for a conspiracy, I prefer the words of Joseph Shiglitz ( sp ) who said , while it may not be a full blown conspiracy, Money in politics has forced an agenda on the people ( ill add the quote late)

Here is were I start getting bent out of shape , as "money " ( as in people) does not care ....about me , the environment etc. Only incentive......

Stephen

ill edit this later , when Im near a computer.....

Senate advances US budget bill, shutdown threat remains

"This is just the beginning," vowed Senator Jeff Sessions. "We will not allow this country to socialize medicine."

The phrase has not been invented that can convey quite how idiotic and pathetic these so called human beings are. Bring on the tidal waves.

Lucky you had that luxury

Young people `leave state care homeless'

"Dr Smith said there was no definition of homelessness but a recent analysis identified 8500 people under 15 with "severely inadequate housing"."

What a wanker.

Trees are a carbon sink. Check.
We cut down about 80,000 hectares per day. Check
Humans concrete huge areas where trees once grew. Check
Humans don't affect the environment. Che... hang on, I might need to think about that for a while.

And that's just 1 thing.
