    There are people in these comments more or less wanting money to be abolished.

    Monopolies and billionaires aside… that’s a level of impractical where you need to step back and take a deep breath, cause we’re not about to go back to exchanging three loaves of bread for two steaks again anytime soon. Come on, now…

    That’s where people start to make fun of you, you know? And if you’re not anti-democratic or something (in which case, serves you right) and you really are well-meaning, that’s just sad.

    In the simplest of terms: someone somehow has to keep track of all the things, and you’d basically end up right back at some kind of ‘unit’ and the cycle restarts.
