...This has got to be meme of the week...I repeat -
...why not have an Extropian 'LETS' system (Local Employment Trading
Systems)? Everybody makes a list of skills they have to offer and we pay
each other with our own currency. It really annoys the tax office but
it's workable. I've been a part of two such systems in two different
countries so far. The last one's currency was called 'favors' ('I owe
you two favors'). Anything can be worth a 'favor', from solving
someone's math problem to buildung them a garden fence. Check it out.
