- andy_ppp 1y agoClearly it would result in tariffs paid in anti-money…
- Pet_Ant 1y agoFor those who missed it, “antimony” is element 51 so it’s not just a pun on “anti-“ but a reference to another element. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimony https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimony
- HPsquared 1y agoJust like matter and antimatter, money and anti-money (debt) are created and destroyed together, and cancel each other out. When they come in contact, both are deleted. All money creation, pretty much, is accompanied with creating a corresponding debt. Bankruptcy sometimes deletes anti-money but the 'money' stays. I'm not sure what role interest payments have (I think that's a case of transferring money around). The bankruptcy thing seems a bit like baryon asymmetry.
- 7bit 1y agoHowever, there debt that keeps in taking. Such ist the case when in debt with a criminal Organisation. In which case current models are still lacking good explanations.
- HPsquared 1y agoAka a perpetual bond. But not always voluntary. A lot of things are like that though, it's a bit like paying a fine or a tax. Just the decision-making process is different.
- meindnoch 1y agoI would argue that antimatter still has the same mass as regular matter, so you have to pay regular import duties. On the other hand, if tachyons exist, they would have imaginary mass, for which the import duties would have to paid in imaginary money!
- Beretta_Vexee 1y agoIt is really a complex problem.
- mr_toad 1y agoIt’s difficult to get to the root of it.

- h4ckerle 1y agoWell there is no nobel price in economics[1] so probably a nobel peace price for ending trade wars. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_riksbanks_pris_i_ekonomisk_vetenskap_till_Alfred_Nobels_minne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_riksbanks_pris_i_ekon...
- foo70 1y agoa big man came to me, tears in his eyes, great guy...Sir, he said sir, why do we let Europe screw us on anti-matter? they just make this stuff negative like it doesn't exists and they want us to pay us, when we invented the anti-matter...so unfair
