If you've noticed, the "topic" Just For the Heck of It which startted as a video gag of the day, became a physics course so that we of Colonial Fleets can see the Science our Colonial heroes use.

This is REAL and to the POINT. Its economics. We are in desperate trouble. Most of us (that is me, folks) don't understand what is going on in the economy. As I learn, I invite you to follow me, as I post the lessons I take to try and make sense of the chaos that we find ourselves in.

Lessons begin in the next post.

He calls it a banknote. It is the DOLLAR, the value "one" of a class of currency exchange units, that includes stocks, bonds, units of pure barter, commodity exchange units etc.

The DOLLAR is the base unit value we assign to the value of ANY of these currency exchange units.

Oh, oh, here comes the government to regulate the money supply. How money eventually devalues and inflates.

Resuming our economics lessons. This is about our current financial crisis. I will not comment much.

I have this also listed separately as a topic so that you don't have to plow through the whole thread to get to the heart of it, if you want just this portion of the crisis to study.
