Our currency is a fiat debt instrument not money.

To be money it must be a store of value. Gold silver diamonds animal pelts things that have scarcity and worth to lots of others.

Liberals and Conservatives are usually just two different waiters who work different shifts at the same restaurant with two different ways and attitudes and job execution results.

But what's in the kitchen doesn't change. Lots of things are beyond our meal representatives sphere of influence. Though if they give our meal to some smelly refugees in the next booth, hopefully we're in a gun friendly state and we can shoot the traitor waiter and foodie looters in the face and take back our gottdamm food we worked hard for and need for sustenance and survival.

Dollars have value. They are nicely cut and beautifully designed. If you try to print some, people with fancy gear will take them and shoot you if you try to stop them. If you are earning dollars honestly and decide to cheat to earn more, people with fancy gear will stop you and take your dollars. Sometimes, people with fancy gear will fly around the world and fuck people up if they get in the way of the dollar, improving its recognition. Only something that stores some value can provoke such a following.

You're thinking of the petro dollar which admittedly looks exactly like a regular dollar.

When you give actually valuable items for funny carton comix. You're already cheated.

You're starving and nothing to eat but a wish sandwich. A central bank delicacy wherein you've put your two hands together and wish you had some meat.

Dollars are like hall passes and free lunch cards after the cosplay bully boys took all your actual lunch. And stomped on your guarden and prison raped your only goat. It's protection payola get yourself a nice trinket.
