to sleep perchance
Buttons is not giving us a lot sleep - like we needed that to add to equation. Anyway, not sure what is wrong with her - she's 17 and theory dead already. Might be something basic like constipation. She was drinking a lot. I so do not need vet bills right now, especially as I suspect it will be nothing much can be done. She doesn't appear in any

I just don't get it.
I have to admit that I didn't used to get economics either. But once you assume money has no innate value then the whole system once again begins to function according to the laws of thermodynamics (although money is endothermic rather than exothermic collections of it draws money out of the surrounding environment). Which works reasonable well when you have an open system with abundant reservoirs to draw on, but in our increasingly closed system with little in the way of reserves...
I also don't believe that there will ever be a rebalancing (or that it will ever be possible). Once you decouple value from money, and even worse, attempt to generate value from money alone, you've effectively lost the game (unless, of course, your one of the people who are capable of doing that, and then, as we have all discovered, you have to try to be the one sitting in a chair when the music stops).
I used to hope that the rise of the EU would help stabilise the system to some degree (by creating another 800 pound super-gorilla of economic power as a counterbalance), but as recent events have shown us, the world economic system is too interconnected effectively a single system.
Unfortunately too many people have too much invested in the system to change it, and it is only when it totally crashes that something may arise to replace it. However given human history, I wouldn't like to see either the crash or what arises from the ashes.
