    Default Here's what the problem with money is

    Hi all,

    I am posting the below text to discuss with any of you who wish to do so, for the rest ones, do you really have to spend time and effort replying to me?
    Please keep in mind that you will need to read what I wrote more than once, patiently...
    ...And you need to think before you reply so that we don't have to spend more time and effort than we really do.
    ...cause do we really have to I ask you?

    Text to be discussed
    Prologue

    When something makes sense, it makes sense to happen again and again in reality.

    When something doesn’t make sense, it isn’t worth our time and effort…cause…

    …do we REALLY HAVE TO?


    Generally explained…
    Imagine you do the same thing with the same amount of money twice from its beginning until its end , but one of the times that it takes you more time and effort.

    Would you choose again and again to do it when it takes you more time and effort to do it with the same amount of money, doing the same thing?


    For example…
    Imagine you order take away from the same place many times, and lately it takes longer and longer for the food to arrive, and the food may start getting a bit cold…and it doesn’t seem to be getting better in the future, but the prices don’t change…

    …do you start getting a feeling this might be a waste of your time and effort or not?


    Or another way said….
    What is it that people wasting others’ time and effort not understanding but that exactly?

    And what is it that people using money…wasting others’ time and effort not understanding but what money does when money is used sensibly?

    And in the end, what is it that people don’t understand , when they hear that they have to not waste others’ time and effort when they are using money, as …

    Money has to not increase the time and effort for what it is used to do, when it is used sensibly.


    Or yet another way said…
    When people trade with one another,

    In general they do “I do this for you, you do that for me”,

    And specifically whatever “this” and “that” is for the specific occasion and instance, so now…

    Player do you know what money does…

    Money doesn’t do what those who have money say…

    Money reduces the time and effort to trade…

    Or we are stuck with idiots wasting our time and effort, with their endless money stories...

    Have you ever really thought of that?


    Main text
    In Kennyshire and Bennyshire, people are playing with money.

    In Kennyshire, those who have money are playing with money, but they don't want those who don't have money to be playing with money, because those who don't have money in Kennyshire, deserve to not have money, and their entire economy is based on that.

    In Bennyshire, all people are playing with money, but in order for those who don't have enough money to learn how to play with money, everyone wants those who make money to be able to make money again and again without wasting others time and effort doing so, so that they deserve the money they make, and their entire economy is based on that.

    In Kennyshire, those who don't have money deserve to not have money, and as it would be sensible for all following that to do, decisions regarding money are made only by those who have money, having more money is always better than having less money for those who want more freedom to make decisions regarding money, money concentrates to those in society who want more freedom to make decisions regarding money and act accordingly to achieve that, and their entire economy is based on all of the above.

    In Bennyshire, those who deserve the money they make, are able to make money again and again without wasting others time and effort doing so, and as it would be sensible for all following that to do, decisions regarding money are made according to what is common sense, having more money isn't necessarily better than having less money, as long as money concentrates somewhere in the middle of society individuals having significantly more money than the ones in the middle isn't a problem for the economy, and their entire economy is based on all the above.

    In Kennyshire, those who don't have money deserve to not have money, and that is never a problem for the economy, but... as money concentrates to those who want more freedom to make decisions regarding money, the more money you have, the more freedom you have than others to make decisions regarding money, and sooner or later, for reasons of more freedom, money concentrates to only some in society and the entire economy stops working for most, until those who have money at that time start exercising their freedom to make decisions regarding money, so that the economy starts working again, after the entire economy paid the ones who had money when the economy stopped working for most but them, so that it can start working for all again...and their entire economy can't have enough of this.

    In Bennyshire, those who don't have money deserve to learn from others how to make money again and again without wasting others time and effort doing so and that is always a goal for the economy, or then it is a problem for the economy, but... as money concentrates somewhere in the middle of society, the more money you have, the more you can prove to others that you are able to make money again and again without wasting others time and effort doing so, and in case that it happens, for whatever reason it may happen, that money concentrates to only some in society and that the entire economy has problems for whatever reasons this may happen, those who have money at that time start proving to all who among them is good at making money again and again without wasting others time and effort doing so, and who is causing problems for the entire economy, so that the problems are solved, before the entire economy has to pay the ones who had money when the economy started having problems, as then the ones who had money at that time wouldn't really be good at making money in Bennyshire and then they wouldn't really deserve to be considered good at making money in Bennyshire...and their entire economy can't have enough of this.


    Epilogues - Clarifications
    when the economy isn't working for the benefit of the general population, then you have to remember that the economists also say that the economy isn't working.

    Why? Because either:
    1.The economists are saying that the economy is working, when it is working for the benefit of the general population.
    or...
    2.The economists are saying that the economy is working, when it isn't working for the benefit of the general population.
    but then...
    3.I can easily imagine other people who claim that the economy is working, when it is working for the benefit of the general population and are willing to make sense of the economy this way, being followed by the general population (that has happened in economic history, you can search it online...), no?



    When most in the economy say
    When most in the economy say that the economy is fun for most, most care for the way the economy goes…to happen again and again, or if the economy goes another way…

    If in the end, when most in the economy say that the economy is fun for most, most don’t care for the way the economy goes…to happen again and again, then it doesn’t seem to me that most in the economy really want the way that is fun for most to happen again and again…does it seem to you?


    When most in the economy say that the economy is fun for few only, whatever way the economy goes, it is a waste of time and effort for most if it happens again and again, and most want to do something else, or if the economy goes another way…

    When most in the economy say that the economy is fun for one only, whatever way the economy goes, most say it has to not happen again, and most want to do something about it, or if the economy goes another way…

    If in the end, when most in the economy say that the economy is fun for one only, whatever way the economy goes, most don’t say it has to not happen again, or most don’t want to do something about it, then it doesn’t seem to me that whatever one does isn’t fun for most…does it seem to you?


    When few in the economy say
    When few in the economy say what money is used to do for most in reality, most in the economy don’t think that money does whatever those who have money want money to do, or if this isn’t the case in the economy….

    When few in the economy say what money is used to do for one in reality, one can’t think of a fun way to spend less time and effort to do what that one wants to do than what few say, or if this isn’t the case in the economy…

    When no one in the economy has to say

    When no one writes something down for the same God as the previous ones, the previous ones wrote it down EXACTLY as the same God would like it to be written down, but if you really think this is ok…
    When no one writes something down for the same God as the previous ones, the previous ones wrote it down EXACTLY as the same God would like it to be written down, then it doesn’t seem to me that
    GOD REALLY DIDN’T FORGET SOMETHING TO DO,
    IF GOD REALLY DID EVERYTHING
    , for the next ones who would like to be able to write something down for the same God as the previous ones…does it seem to you?


    When no one bets God, God doesn’t respond in reality, because if you really think otherwise…
    When no one bets God, God responds in reality, but if you think this is really ok…
    If in the end, when no one bets God, God responds in reality, then it doesn’t seem to me that now that I bet God that after something happens to me because of the will of one of you, that one of the rest of you lives to end everyone of you, that God will respond in time…does it seem to you?



    Some of you say that money is the store of value, medium of exchange, unit of account online (Wikipedia)…

    Tell that to your girlfriend/spouse/mother in law after you give her money, and the way that you do it increases the time and effort she has to spend to have fun,

    Is what I say to you, and also…

    You think you are funny?

    Nah, you ain’t funny yet.



    In the end, what’s the summary?

    Nature is a lady…

    Whatever we do with money, the way we do it has to not ignore the time and effort that we have to spend to do it, otherwise…

    Whatever we do with money, the way we do it may ignore the time and effort that we have to spend to do it, but in this case…

    If in the end, whatever we do with money, the way we do it may ignore the time and effort that we have to spend to do it, then it doesn’t seem to me that if we want to do whatever we do with money, again…and again…and…again…that we can continue to ignore the time and effort we have to spend to do it, and continue to really have fun, does it seem to you?


    Justice is blind, and…

    After girls, someplace sometime, have ended talking to one another and have together decided, they point out the ones who are not fun, and the rest show them how…


    …MAMA in the end puts order.

    digital or cashless fiat currency is the worst imaginable development for humanity, in case anyone is wondering.

    I will presume it is okay with you if I address you as Alex.

    Alex, your essay (or screed) is way too wordy.

    Please offer your single most important point in a single sentence...or short paragraph if you truly cannot offer it in one sentence.

    Generally explained…
    Imagine you do the same thing with the same amount of money twice from its beginning until its end , but one of the times that it takes you more time and effort.

    Would you choose again and again to do it when it takes you more time and effort to do it with the same amount of money, doing the same thing?


    Casually explained
    When people trade with one another,

    In general they do “I do this for you, you do that for me”,

    And specifically whatever “this” and “that” is for the specific occasion and instance, so now…

    Player do you know what money does…

    Money doesn’t do what those who have money say…

    Money reduces the time and effort to trade…

    Or we are stuck with idiots wasting our time and effort, with their endless money stories...

    Have you ever really thought of that?


    Did that help?

    More common is a Palace Economy, where a government, or proto-government redistributes resources. That is very far from economic freedom, so I doubt it is what you want.

    they've been sold on a convenience first mentality by propagandistic fascists.

    digital fiat currency is totalitarianism.

    barter forces people to work out their transactions carefully, instead of just leaving the details to dictators,

    plus,

    fiat currency is susceptible to rampant abuse by the powers who create it.

    inflation is elite theft from the entire population.

    There's no room for banker parasites in a barter economy.
