She’s been in prison?

[Little Ray]

Basically, she can “live without money” because other people have it and give her stuff.

Trade? (snicker, snicker)

[EEGator]

This woman has watched too much Star Trek.

What she says is actually true: it's why there's no money in heaven and the streets are paved with gold. (First gold is seen as a divine-metal, as it doesn't rust/corrode; second, there's going to be no need for money, so gold could be useless in that sense good for nothing but to be thrown outside and trod upon by men so to speak.)

That said though, there's no way that such a system will work [globally] without Jesus-as-King ruling over all the nations and all the people.

As long as human life goes on, even if everyone were converted to Christ, money will still have its basic utility as “medium of exchange” and “store of value.” A price system conveys necessary information, and an efficient price system requires a unit of measure for comparison.

She is not ‘living without money’. She is a Socialist European PARASITE who is living on OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY.

A bunch of us doing this would freak out the powers in Washington even more than we do by burning french fry oil in diesel engines.

[OneWingedShark]

Which is why I said without Jesus-as-King, that is, the Returned Christ.

“A bunch of us doing this would freak out the powers in Washington”

When I used to live in Los Angeles you could drive to 5th and Alameda and literally see THOUSANDS of people living like this. Trust me, no one in Washington gave a damn about them.

Traveling on the train is a large part of her life and that requires the exchange of money. It’s not like the dirty paper never touches her hands.

A couch living drifter friend with no money, is nothing new.

So essentially she is just bartering....

I barter all the time with an exchange token called “Money”....

Except the government thinks it owns a certain amount of my exchange tokens be I earn them, or want to give them to others for goods, or put them in a place other people can use them to fund other people’s projects and then get paid for keeping it there....

The “Blinded Authority Loving Law and Order freepers” would want to jail her sorry butt for tax evasion....

But they forget the reason she was able to live like this is not because she has discovered some “Utopia” she has just escaped the “Dystopia” that is Government Tax.....

[GraceG]

She’s been in prison?

But she is evading taxes.....

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

A lot of Obama voters live without money too.

YO, IT CALL WEAR FARE!

[fwdude]

This woman proves that most people have no idea what “money” is.

[Michael.SF.]

Giving up what one has, for an esoteric personal goal, is far different from not having anything and seeking to better oneself.

Old hippies never die. They just scrounge away.
