All I'm failing to grasp,

no it really isn't,
because, asides from the irrelevance of the rest of your waffle (of which there is no shortage), and anything else, you've failed to grasp that legal tender is loaned to governments at interest.

Which entity, exactly, made that tender "legal"?

And as a mater of interest how about you give me the cost of that "loan", dude.

Not that it's even slightly relevant where the vast majority of transactions don't in fact involve legal tender. Or would be if that were the case.

So much as you'd like to dismiss it as irrelevant, that waffle really is the goods, dude. And the whole premise whereby some fuckwits figure they don't have to produce shit in order to gain money that they don't agree is worth shit really is full of shit.

But, then, it ain't actually that difficult to spot anyone accepting money someone else earned while simultaneously attempting to pretend that it's not really any sort of token of value as a parasite AND a hypocrite. Eh son?

A: anyone who will honour their promissory note.

And yes, I know they won't actually exchange it for gold anymore.

And yes, I know Breton Woods was the end of your world.

But, see, out here in the real one; a dollar is simply a marker for a unit of value, nothing more, nothing less, and definitely not a conspiracy to defraud fuckwits of anything they may or may not deserve.

All clear now?
