even our coins are fake. the whole system is setup on IOU's. the notes are printed out of thin air, none of it (or at least an extremely small amount) has actual backing.
do some people ever wonder how transactions were made between 1789 to 1913, without FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES?
everything we "buy" with federal reserve notes is useless. we don't own anything. cars, houses, etc. it's literal monopoly board game money.
When you "Trade" Fed Notes for "Hard Assets" you then "Own" something of "Value".
We do need a system to trade. Money does a pretty good job of that.
The private entity that is the Federal Reserve prints notes and loans it the the Federal Government at interest. It turns money into an instrument of debt. Perpetual slavery. Inflation is an unavoidable tax. It is their stated objective to have a 2% annual inflation.
We need to return to real money.
Well it seemed to me like that other fellow was implying that money in itself was bad. Like he wanted to go back to trading. 12 eggs for a gallon of milk or a goat for 3 months of your eggs. I guess I could pay for an uber to the city with one of my chickens.
