I'm sorry, but we are out of inches, feet and yards!
Imagine a carpenter going in to the work site and seeing all the materials for building stacked up everywhere, ready to go, and the foreman says:
"Well, I regret to have to inform you all that we are currently out of inches, feet, yards and other forms of measurement, so there is no work and you will have to go home."
That's how Neo-Liberalism works, in a sense. You can have all the resources, (in great abundance) available even, but money easily turns into a symbolic barrier, (which is an abstract) as much as it seems to be a means to enable people. Try taking a stroll in a wealthy, gated community or stepping on THEIR property, etc.
That's part of the problem. I know that supply chains are being broken and cascading system failures are in order, but it's not like all the vast resources have just up and actually disappeared. We are beholden to those who hold and own nothing more than symbols that only have value based on faith in them, nothing more, really. The Wiemar Republic was a good example of that problem, among others.
What's the difference between a $1, $20 and $100 bill? They are the same size and weight. They have printing on them. The difference is just the numbers on them.
