If we get rid of money how are we going to pay strippers for lap dances?!! No stripper wants a loaf of bread stuffed down her g string.
I think we need to implement a system like in eve online. ISK. interstellar Kredits. BUT WE ARE ON EARTH HOW DO WE INTERSTELLAR ANYWAYS?
If there was one unified currency, there would be no Forex system and as such no inward investment to countries based solely on their interest rates. It's pretty simple: we raise our interest rate, corporations invest in UK.fermatx wrote:

Without going into too much detail this world is so focused on materialistic goals, and the values of wants versus needs, that I don't see a major change happening without entire loss of the system we have now. We're going to tear each other to pieces for oil, food and water, and then figure out what we're doing wrong when it's too late. That is the nature of human kind. The good news is that most of us won't be around when shit really hits the fan, so brb, smoking a cigar made out of a 100 dollar bill with my diamond ring transported directly from africa and funded by my oil investment corporation. I'm also going to finish the day by rolling in money and touching myself about how awesome my possessions are.
