People should use plain old money for as long as they need to, but I'm just saying is there is simply no reason to sell the Product when it is already the property of the person who will consume it. When you own an Avocado tree, you do not *buy* the Avocados from yourself - you *already* own them as a "side effect" of owning the tree. When a group of human co-own an Avocado orchard, they do not need to *buy* the Avocados from themselves - they *already* own them as a "side effect" of co-owning the trees. Avoiding buying and selling after production allows us to guarantee the Price the Consumer pays is exactly the Costs he paid for that production - thereby eliminating Profit in a natural manner. This also evades sales taxes and other government interference. Profit is undefined when Product is ROI. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
