@coolboymew ... and don't forget to buy compost and mulch in plastic bags that are made from the exact same plant matter you raked and threw away.

@blitzdriver @spectre community and shared values are the primary benefit of religion. Whether or not a book is literally true or if this or that historical event happened or not is actually wholly irrelevant.

You can take a jewish cult that pushes slave morality and after injecting enough Roman culture, make it halfway decent.

Religion is like money. It's useful even if you don't like it, but you can fuck it up by being stupid at the same time.

@spectre BPS is in denial because he loved Japan. Japan absolutely has a welfare system for the elderly. BPS wants to separate welfare for seniors from welfare for the poor.

Why do you think Japan is in so much debt? Do you think they were buying anime figurines with all that money? It was all social welfare spending.

Sure, in a vacuum a declining pop isn't a huge deal, but the Earth doesn't stand still while you bankrupt yourself with welfare and feminism.

@11112011 Saudi Arabia is joining BRICS my dude, the petrodollar is dead. It's Biden's fault for weaponizing the dollar against Russia. womp womp

Here's an older article from earlier in the year when Saudi Arabia was considering Chinese yuan for oil.: thehill.com/policy/energy-envi

The petrodollar was based on the US being Saudi's unofficial military, but we're weak, broke, and gay. Saudi Arabia is altering the deal, pray they don't alter it any further.

@11112011 You can price goods and services however you want. I'm sure you've plaid mobile games that have the same items for "gold", "gems", or what other currencies they use in game for various items and stuff. These items may have a convertible value (i.e. 100 gems cost $10) or not (i.e. you earn gold in game that has no real-world value).

In Team Fortress 2, you use keys. In prison, you use cigarettes. There are endless forms of abstractions.

@11112011 If you trade a giftcard to a store you don't want to shop at for one you do, and then use your new giftcard to buy the goods/services you wanted, what happened to the original giftcard?

Presumably, whoever took the other side of that trade, valued that giftcard and intents on using it himself, so both parties benefit in the end, hence the magic of free trade.

However store A doesn't benefit from your transaction, only store B does.

Money is just an abstraction of labor for trade.

@11112011 All money is an abstraction of actual wealth, which are the goods and services that we need and pay for with money.

Different fiat currencies are like gift cards to different baskets of goods and services. Some are more accepted than others and sometimes people trade them.

In the end, only the actual good and services purchase to enhance your standard of living are real. Everything else is just an abstraction to get from production to consumption as efficiently as possible.
