Here is a something you can count on NEVER HAPPENING. But WHAT IF?

What if money were removed from every equation? What do I mean?

Money would never be a consideration in anything. How much you can make beg borrow steal.

Money would have no more value than buying Qips to clean your ears or toilet paper to wipe your butt.

Sure it's helpful but so what?

If money didn't make the world go around. it money were no one's carrot. If having tons of it didn't make  those having it "better" than others. If making a lot of it were irrelevant immaterial and frowned down upon.

I know it's hard to imagine that. But IMAGINE THAT?

The same as having a cup of coffee or tea or seeing a movie or listening to an opera or watching a ball game. NOT ESSENTIAL TO YOUR SURVIVAL. Certainly not the be all and end all it is today.

Wouldja like to try it on for size if it were possible?

    There was a time - WWWWAAAAAYYYYY back when there was no money as we know it.  People bartered for items they wanted/needed.  Would I want to go back to those times, probably not, but I do wish that there was less poverty.  In this country, it is unconscionable that people go to sleep hungry or have no place to call home.

    Do you know people in California have waited in line as long as 7 hours at food banks to get food for their families? That's true all over the country. Jobless hungry and now possibly homeless is affected millions of people families. In America...the wealthiest of all countries or so we are told. How could we have come to this? Well we know and it's boring to recount it. Here we are. Meanwhile the whinya** pathetic panick pandemic pumpina** is trying ot murder our health insurance and has his ambulance chasers in court now trying to undo coverage for pre-existing conditions. During a PANDEMIC which ONLY IN AMERICA is rapidly accelerating and will continue to do do because of the INDIFFERENCE of its "head". How sweet it is. NOT. Thank you for your reply L. The limiting thing about bartering is you have to something to barter with to get what you need. You have to be able to fill a need others have. That seems incredibly complicated to me. To fit the filler of a need with a needer. I guess it could be worked out. When bartering was in style there were many fewer of us and our needs were far less. You can't need what you've never had...electric lights computers cell phones.
