The gov't has outlawed gold and silver as currency in favor of its fiatbux. If my friend and I like eating Skittles then some bully come slaps us around if we eat them, that isn't failure of us liking Skittles.
- enraged_camel 13y agoNo, the government came and said you can't use gold or silver to trade Skittles, because neither material is a convenient medium of exchange (which is unarguably correct).
- praxeologist 13y agoFiat money has been around not even 200 years while various commodities used in coins worked fine for much longer. Oh but to you it isn't convenient somehow and this is "unarguably correct", lol whatever, spoken like a true state apologist I guess. Go on believing your own alternate history where the force and fraud of government are pretended away.
