    You can’t make traveling across the street in Laredo easier than flying between Miami, FL and Anchorage, AK. What happens if everyone in town crosses the street at once? The whole town flips over and everyone dies.

    If moving from the Quebec to Maine is as easy as moving from Massachusetts to New Hampshire, do you have any idea how many bad things will happen?

    All of them! All the bad things!

        Are you being sarcastic or are you unaware that money is a human construct and its rules/existence a choice?

            I am not saying its not real. I am saying its a human construct. Just like laws, religion, culture, nations.

            They are created by us and dynamically evolve with our needs. We have full control over how they work and can overhaul them entirely.

            For example, you may have heard how money used to be backed by physical gold, but then we abandoned that in 1971 and now its backed by nothing. Its simply changing the rules as needed.

            Another overhaul is long overdue. The issue is that we rarely agree on how or what to change and that the choices are almost always made by centralized powers.
