Couldn’t the collective threat that everyone just diasporas mitigate inflation if businesses tried to pull any funny business?

Why does it work for Monaco?

    Umm, something like that, I guess…

    Again, just speculation, but if everyone had roughly the same amount of money (assuming the concept of spreading the butter equally), then nobody would want to earn money, and nothing would get done.

      How many people are rich and continue to amass wealth even though they have more money than they really know what to do with?

      How many important projects are done by volunteers?

      How many old people work jobs they don’t need just to keep themselves social and busy?

      And in that hypothetical scenario, money still exists, it’s just equally distributed. There’ll still be people who want more, people who waste what they have and need a top-up, etcetc.

      How might this apply to countries/places with sovereign wealth funds?

        Why do we even have borders? Who invented money in the first place? Did they even think things through when they started the whole system?

        I’m sure back when all these sort of modern society things we’ve become accustomed to sounded good on paper clay tablets, but it’s making less and less sense by the day now.

        Animals tend to survive on their own, no money, no clothes, blah. We invented money. But to what end? Why? Now we’re in the process of replacing humans with artificial intelligence?

        If all the jobs go to robots and AI, then how the fuck are humans supposed to earn money to survive?

        Oh that’s right, animals don’t need money, they’re smarter than us in that regard…

          The 1% of their era needed to divide the people against themselves

          Who invented money in the first place?

          The 1% of their era wanted to amass more wealth with their gold deposits

          Did they even think things through when they started the whole system?

          Those in power did as they wished, and those who were not suffered what they must. Same old same old.
