No thanks
I guess it’s the “without anything to balance it” bit I struggle with, what balances it anyway beyond some weird collective agreement that some rocks are worth more than others. I dunno, I know it’s not helpful to break things down to the abstract like that but it’s a mental barrier to me ever being able to understand anything related to “the economy”
I just don’t know why each country doesn’t turn to all the others at the big UN Xmas party and go “Nah, don’t worry about it”. Like a big amnesty. Problem solved imh honest opnion.
if there are only 100 copies of football manager 2020 for sale at your reputable games vendor, as opposed to 1000 copies of football manager 2020, then each of those 100 copies will be worth more because everyone loves football manager 2020.
not me though, can’t stand that game.
Yeah, but Football Manager 2020 is a tangible item (and a really great product) whereas money is more conceptual innit
Don’t know if anyone’s mentioned at FM Towers that it is sold for money, thus giving it a value in monetary terms, and also conferring value on the money as a result
It’s a great series btw
I’m just in it for the love of the product
Such purity of purpose!
FWIW I hate money so much. Would adopt the @anon67149139 solution in a heartbeat if it were practicable
Just wanna say that I loved Football Manager 2013
What monetary value would you ascribe to that love?
played a lot of fm 2011 during the first weeks of lockdown. brilliant game - shoulda packed it all up then.
much like the economy.
Not sure, think I nicked it from HMV when I worked there.
@anon5266188 Get the lads on him
What I don’t get is that most of the big money (i.e. what the banks have, government debt, etc.) is all just zeros on a screen. It doesn’t exist. We’re never gonna stop and settle up, it’s just passing round abstract figures online.
Exactly. It’s completely made up, it just needs everyone to collectively agree to stop fucking around.

reckon one guy looks at the big bank’s balance on the app or whatever every morning, and goes ‘yep, still got money, and we have x amount of money to lend and invest, let’s go to work’
Remember Iceland had that referendum where they just decided to default on all their national debt?
What did the banks do? Lower their credit rating. FOR A BIT.
