RickRogers: Woh, is that a thing I like??

I just don't get it.

I know science, ok, so I did some science thinking and I boiled it down to; I can trade things I have for things other people have, OR I can trade my time for either their time or things they will give me for my time.

Is there a economancer that knows where it goes from there?

Chewbecca: Just chillin' : )

When a dollar enters the market, the economy begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four dollar bills on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the bill nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of bills and takes the place of the first bill. The formerly first bill becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff.

The economy works the same way.

you know when you're playing an old RPG and you want to maximize your amount of gold so you quicksave abuse to try and steal as much poo poo/kill and loot as many NPCs as possible without making the town guards mad at you or breaking the main quest? it's like that, but in real life

you can take a selfie while touching the bull's balls, so i think he's the good guy

to illustrate my point you very rarely see selfies of people touching stalin's balls

The contemporaneous state of the economy (whatever that is) is the subject matter of a Young Jeezy track where he lets us know that his car is a spaceship because he works for NASA.

Hope that helps OP.

the economy is basically just an excuse for people to make powerpoint slides and also to trade each other's personal data like pokemon cards.

some people grow food or build houses or make arts but they're economying the wrong way.

I have a legit fear that my little sister will go into commerce. Like, I don't even. It seems like such a hilariously soft science for what it allows some people to do and I am not sure how I feel about this...

Like, making money by working with money is a little too on the nose.

The "old economy" that you may have heard about is that which came before autosave and it's associated exploits.

Thank goodness, a real economy man! Let's get to my main questions:
Is communism good economy or bad economy?
Why does economy have problem?
How many economy does a war make??
If I promise my economy for your economy (this is what a bank does), then is your economy now mine and I can just make rude bottom noises when you politely ask for yours back?
What economy is the Bible's favourite economy? Is America in the blessed economy or not???
