More nonsense. As one who was raised in a town where company script was used at one time I will say you don't know of which you speak.

Company script was good ONLY at the company store. Dollars are good EVERYWHERE from Moscow to Mongolia. So that stupid analogy is smashed into oblivion. Inappropriate comparisions destroy your argument and hysterical falsehoods don't help.

If you think you are a slave your delusions go far beyond what I can help you with. Call Dr. Malfi maybe she can help.

Look it's "scrip" not "script".

And I'm generalizng the company store model -- in our fiat money system what HAS happened is that the closer people and groups of people to the fiat money issueing authority have come out over time with a considerable advantage in fiat wealth due only to getting first whacks at the "scrip" and leveraging of it.

It's not a distributed system ... it's a centralized system. That centrality, by some measure, is just like the "owner" of the mine and the company store.

I can only help you so far in dealing with the conceptualization of abstractions -- if you could drop the chip on your shoulder it might help.
