Postcard from a Stupid Fiat Economy: Or, Hello from the Khan's Dominion



 
Monsters of the USA corporation, blindly buying and selling, fast asleep,
still dancing to beat of the the Nixon Shock, losing their rights like air 
hissing from a balloon.  "Momma always said, 'Stupid is as stupid does,' "
 so at least when the facade finally implodes upon itself, I'll know why.



"All these pieces of paper are issued with as much solemnity and authority as if they were of pure gold or silver... and indeed everybody takes them readily, for wheresoever a person may go throughout the Great Khan's dominions he shall find these pieces of paper current, and shall be able to transact all sales and purchases of goods by means of them just as well as if they were coins of pure gold."       —Marco Polo, The Travels of Marco Polo
