I think we need an investigation into why the British Pound isn't allowed to float.
The fixed exchange rate between pounds and kg is obsolete and inappropriate for a modern economy and is the kind of thing BREXIT was supposed to free us from.
- bee_rider 3y agoI’m pretty sure a pound could float, as long as it was made large enough.
- Geisterde 3y agoThats, you, what? The british pound is a currency, it is fiat, its exchange value freely floats against other world currencies, it has no objective measure in mass of anything.
- gumby 3y agoOh, how exciting: there are special units of measure for currants, as there are for wood, paper, gold, and so on? Is the the same in all regions where currants are cultivated? It's wonderful that we have different miles and feet for different purposes, and even different exchange rates between them. Let the Europeans suffer under the yoke of the rigid and procrustean french measurement system. Let freedom of expression flourish!
