National currencies ARE fiat currencies.
Like the Chinese have been fixing the value of their currency to the dollar, and the federal reserve does exactly that thing where they inflate it at will. Or keep it at zero, and the rest of the corporations inflate it nowadays. Whichever.
Either way, it's a scam. And I'm not saying the gold standard was a great idea either. It worked at the time, i guess? I don't know, I wasn't there. This fiat currency situation seems possibly workable, but I haven't seen it doing so. At least not for anyone who isn't already in the club.
The value of money is all made up bullshit anyway, can we at least get some healthcare out of it? Maybe some roofs? Food?
I like my friends not starving or freezing to death.
