Not sure if a guitar backed currency will get off the ground. Or how valuable it would be as a barter.

Better than accordions…

Better hope it’s an acoustic for when they put the green new deal on us and send us back to 1820 and they are the only ones with electricity.

I guess solar power panels, and batteries will start selling like crazy if that happens.

Maybe. Personal solar is great. Wish I could afford an array. But it will still leave huge gaps compared to what we have now. You can probably run a fridge and a TV if you have a good battery bank, but unless you have a HUGE array of panels and batteries, best of luck trying to run AC or Heating off of it.

I know I’d kill to have a fridge at least in the middle of the summer for keeping food and cooling drinks.

Here's a summary of China's current woes. This fellow lived in Shenzhen for a number of years and has seen the good and the bad in China.

She’s running against a machine Democrat. Should be an interesting race once the gloves come off.

Guys, guys, guys, b-b-but you're all wrong.

This isn't REAL communism. REAL communism hasn't been tried yet!

Next time it'll work because we'll do REAL communism!

Also
We don't trust people to run their own lives.
We need government to do that.
Made up of people
That we don't trust to run their own lives.

The Left should just accept the fact that Communism as seen in Cuba, North Korea, China and Venezuela are the real McCoy. And there’s very little to recommend it if you’re not a member of the politburo with all the perks appurtenant thereto.

That's the big delusion they don't think exists though.

They ALL think they'll be in the clique and will be some famous intellectual in the party.

They won't be the worker in the factory or field with nothing to show but a broken body after their 90 hour workweek is over.

A funny digression, a friend told his unsettled granddaughter had finally landed a job as a life coach. The jokes wrote themselves from there…
