    I'm actually A-OK with not money oriented, but I don't like lazy. Example: Prioritizing family over money is not money-oriented and also not lazy (in my mind).

        That's one of the most idiotic things I've ever read. Would you like to elaborate on what about "unit of account, store of value, and medium of exchange for goods and services" doesn't make sense?

          A monetary system is a set of policy tools and institutions through which a government provides money and controls the money supply in an economy.

            I saw that he said monetary system, but I assumed he was just talking nonsense and wasn't actually referring to the Bank of Canada. I contend that this is a safe assumption.

              Perhaps boris misses the good old days when we had to trade three chickens for a sack of apples? That was much more equitable.

              EDIT: See, the thing is, Boris probably doesn't actually have a problem with money. He's just doing his RAA! CAPITALISM BAD! thing, and since his understanding of economics is rather dismal, makes the false equivalency between the allocation of wealth and the concept of money.

                      Do they have to be all three, at least a combination of two or do you dislike them if they have only one characteristic?

                            Wealth redistribution in United States has been going on for a long time now in the form of low wages for workers, corporate welfare, deplorably low taxes for the wealthy, and so on, creating the overall effect of "stealing from the poor, giving to the rich."

                              And I really don't think that not being greedy (not being money-oriented) makes someone a bad person.

                                So you really do hate the bank of canada? What would you prefer, bitcoin? What exactly do you dislike about central banking? Or are you just saying this as a dodge because I called you out?
