- XorNot 14y agoThis would just be funbucks though, no different to Disney. What it would not be would be a separate currency, since that's illegal and for good reason: it would be a return to the days of being paid in company scrip, which can only be spent at the company store. EDIT: Not to mention that apparently we can't trust the government, but we can definitely trust a giant profit-motivated non-democratic entity to manage our currency?
