    Ketchup ones weren't any good either.  Prefer the ones we've had in Canada the few times we've been there.

    Also - anyone buy Zapps recently? I feel like they went from a kettle cooked chip to something more like Lays.  Do not like.  

    Zapp's has two kinds now,

    Because they got bought by Utz

  2. When I was a boy I remember sitting on the commode at Sanger Harris with the door wide open, and some old man came in, he looked like Moonlight Graham, the old one, he was wearing that hat and everything, and he said, that's a biggen. I do not know if he was talking about me, or my tiny penis, or my turd, but I also think he might have tried to kidnap me. I do not remember that part.

    The point of it is that you let people shop for things directly with their own gold instead of the government and banks being involved.

    This is starting to sound like that elaborate coupon scheme my daughter uses at my birthday where I can trade a slip of hand-drawn paper into her for a quiet dinner with Mommy or she'll fold the laundry or help rake leaves.  

    David Buster-you realize what you keep describing is just a business contract which exist but don't technically transfer money...they just set the terms by which money will be later transferred.  I perform X and upon Y, you me $Z.  

    Right so let’s say you have a standard contract that is available for every transaction. That says One Chit is equal to one silver. And you can only pay in chits. 

  5. Yes but my dollars are not worth anything in gold. I have to go buy it and pay a bank to buy it. Who profits in the arbitrage Before 1972 I already owned the gold.

    I mean technically you CAN still convert USD to gold. But now it's at market rates. Gold is a commodity, like anything else.

    Whole point of money is that it's a representation of arbitrary value. Whether it's made of metal or paper or 800-pound stone wheels, it's a stand-in for value.

    Again, elementary school stuff.

    Metal is just a commodity whose value changes.

    And yes, governments can, do, and have made laws restricting what must be accepted.

    You can make your own money, but you can't make anyone else use it.

    Why would I accept your phony "currency" if I can't then go buy anything with it elsewhere? There's literally no reason. USD or fuck off.

    What if you own a store, like a Cosco. And the only way you can pay is with the chits I am talking about. They used to have Green Stamps. Like that. If people accept them.
