Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Money is, by design, worthless. Especially since America got taken off the gold standard & money printer go brrrrr. It's all held up by our faith in the dollar, and the system.
A wise rich man would have plenty of stuff on reserve to pay essential people, just not in money. Maybe they could work in exchange for a year's worth of freeze-dried food. A chunk of land & a house. Quality goods. Idk I just don't think it's as bleak as you say; we could revert back to a barter system, and people exchanging labor for [stuff] or a cut of the product [sharecropper].
