Is that what that's called when you throw money out of a helicopter? "Extracting sustenance" ?
That's my point. Your brain is stuck in the 20th century. I empathize. I have a minor in
Assets = Liabilities + Capital. It was difficult to overcome.
In 1984 I was busy building a bug-out shelter because my economics classes at university had me convinced that the staggering U.S. national debt of an incredible
1 Trillion Dollars was unsustainable for even two more years.

This year I finally realized that we now live under a new, super-sophisticated version of global corporate fascism wherein CURRENCIES DO NOT MATTER. It is irrelevant whether your fiat is ye olde Dollars, pink Renminbis, or spiffy new Weyland Corp. GloboCredits. They are playthings of London, New York, and Beijing. The world changed under your feet. You haven't realized it yet.
