rise up Rochester: Do We Need More of Keynes Now?

  • Common Sense · 1 year ago
    Good god!

    Will you understand that the reason for money is to allow a user to exchange their production for a future product?

    Given a sustenance system, bartering is fine. But what if you can only make 10 loaves of bread a day, and a TV costs 10,000 fresh loaves? It would be IMPOSSIBLE to make enough fresh loaves.

    However, if you can sell your bread every day and convert to a non-perishable product, then you could save and consume.

    Honestly, do you contemplate your ideas of why we use money at all?

    Where did anyone say that we shouldn't use money at all? Sound money is not the same as no money.

    Free speech may not be dead in America, but it sure is on riseupRochester.org. My comments on the board that is lamenting the death of free speech are being censored for being different than that of the moderator. I'm going to submit my thoughts on this subject (and on what is clearly a sham of a website in general) to the D&C, and get their opinion...
