Well if I wanted to trade wheat for medicine, but the pharmacist needs shoes and not wheat, do I have to go use my wheat to buy shoes to give to the pharmacist?

Oh s*** you mean still have money just not cash

Or are you even saying no trade

It's literally a way to cull the poor completely out of the economy and deeper still society as a whole. In SF they had to ban the practice because it was a blatant last step in economic ethnic cleansing.

the actual reason for not wanting this is in the scenario of a liquidity crisis / run on the banks

it's a very real and problematic situation when people can't access their money and honestly will be happening with increasing frequency as economies around the world deteriorate

Your spending is monitored which I don’t like as is, it’s always good to have at least a 20 on you in case of a hostile situation. Sometimes cards won’t work even with money on them and it might be urgent, banks are against poor people. I usually cards 80% of the time but it’s still good to have actual cash in hand

Bitcoin creeps tbh, those folks are weird

You wouldn't need to trade for medicine that's for sure

Labor vouchers

This already exists

okay make it a book then

elaborate

You know libraries are a thing?

okay then a chair

Did this person handcraft the chair themselves

sure

Then they can trade it for whatever they want just as I could hypothetically handcraft a chair in my garage rn and sell it for whatever

so if the person who grows wheat needs a chair, and the person who made the chair already has enough wheat, how many people does the wheat people need to go through to get to where he can trade for the chair?

If he needs a chair I would certainly hope that a post money society would be able to get him a chair.

"To each according to his need"

so not even a trade system then

Other than an interpersonal one, no not on a large scale

Money is very comfortable to use. You wanna trade for everything?
