And *I* thought it was funny.

Why couldn't we just trade favors instead of implementing a monetary system and placing a price on everything?1

I don’t understand why people driving care so much if someone wants to drive faster than them.
They will speed up just to be obstructionists.

A barter system is an old method of exchange. This system has been used for centuries and long before money was invented. People exchanged services and goods for other services and goods in return.
(these days sometimes called "working under the table")
Governments frown on this since it is does not contribute to the tax base needed to maintain infrastructure and bureaucracy . Hence governments created a standardized monetary system so all transactions must flow through their cash registers at some point.1 -

Bartering's taxable because there's monetary value, of an item/service.0 -

True, but so much goes unreported.1 -

It can be...but only if records are kept and reported. Someone does drywall work in exchange for say...some computer repairs. The parties involved agree the barter is equitable. No records. There is no third party. What the authorities can't prove...they can' t tax.0 -
Our “mall” is essentially a Planet Fitness with a humongous, well kept, structure attached. That happens to contain a few random stores.3

Our mall is laughable.
It has a dollar store, an auto parts store, a gym, and at the end is Job Lots. There have been so many stores in and out of that place....J.C.Penny's is closing this month, we had Sears, Fashion Bug, Hallmark store, Radio Shack, and many more. All history. You can't even walk around inside anymore due to Covid. Lots of people walked during inclement weather. 3 -
I kinda do too. Sad to see everything so empty. Some corporation purchased it and made it look REALLY nice. But there’s nothing there hardly. But there are some wonderful photographs on the walls that show our city now and throughout history. 🤷🏻♀️ It’s almost like a museum.Our mall is laughable.

When I’m in the mood I watch YouTube channels that go into abandoned or nearly empty malls. Ours would be perfect for that. 🙈0
