    It’s the biggest religion on the planet. Everyone believes the lines protect them. As long as everyone believes that, it works. But when you need help the most, it does nothing to protect you. It’s just lines on some pavement, the people are the ones with all the power.

      Nah, I’d say money/cash is an ever bigger religion. It only works because everyone believes it’s value, and some of them don’t drive.

        At least these days with most of the world on fiat currency. Though I think we’re likely to see the end of the game come in our lifetimes.

          My grandma saw 6 different currencies and 6 different political systems in her lifetime (Eastern Germany).
