without comment on whether scotties wonderful plan is a dud or a masterstroke
what I will say is that there's this belief that the 'money' is borrowed
it's not 'borrowed' ----------- money is manufactured ------ it's nothing more than some zeros on a screen - nothing more, nothing less
well gone are the days where you could point to something and say - see -that's wealth
which meant gold or silver ------------ but, even then - it was only worth what people agreed that little piece of yellow or white metal in your hand was worth
they would give you 2 loaves of bread for it or 1 - or 10
it was just what both agreed was 'worth'
then, we went to currency in the form of coin - made of those metals
then, we went to currency in the form of coin - representing those metals
then, paper - couldn't even throw it at the dog and harm it
then, we went to blips on a screen - which disappear as soon as the screen turns off
all fantasy - all bullshit -------------- there's actually nothing there
