Let me also just say, What does he think money is a stand-in for, now?

Like. Money is meaningless. It's just a third good. It's an agreed upon abstract store of value, which can be exchanged for other items of value. If you've got a bunch of 'energy,' let's say batteries filled from a post-apocalyptic solar farm, and you need resources (hydroponic-grown food),

AND the person who grows food needs batteries at the same time you need food, then you can just trade directly. But if they don't need batteries all summer, because they only use them to run their heaters in the winter, and you need food year-round, you're shit out of luck.

Unless someone invents money.

Remember when everyone was supposed to get “DOGE dividends” and $2,000 tariff rebates? Now Elon Musk is promising to give every child a SpaceX share, while Trump is claiming he'll dole out $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms. Their desperation is showing. Don’t be fooled.
