Funny how Sovvies want us to accept their coupons but only want to be paid in gold themselves.

Wouldn’t that be fantastic. Make up my own mumbo jumbo Sovcit food stamps and then use them to buy their stuff.

They either have to admit it’s bollocks or accept the stamps and effectively give me their stuff for nothing.

Walk up to the counter with a 1099a and be like “here you go bud, it’s all there in the strawman account. Later.” and then walk out with what you took.

Ah, but you see, they’re not a corporation, therefore they can’t access the mumbo jumbo account.

But surely my straw man can pay his straw man and then he can draw on it when needed?

I doubt very much a Sovvie could manage to run a garage sale, much less an actual business.

You’d be shocked. There’s a “garage sale” down from where I grew up that’s been going on since the 80s and is run by one of those folks. He only takes cash (hell, he might take gold too for all I know).

It’s literally like a single booth flea market and that guy hasn’t had another job in years.

Huh. I wonder if I should do something like. Just a year round garage sale.

Fascinating. That’s illegal in my town. Or whatever it is when you break a city ordinance.

I wonder what magic form they’ll have to use for bankruptcy.

Ask them and they’ll say Bankruptcy is itself magic. You say the magic words, sign the magic papers with some nonsense, slap some postage notes somewhere probably, and all the debt just goes away.

I mean. You can just do that can’t you? It’s your business and you set the prices.

We will see this in a federal court case before too long. In the US cash is legal tender for transactions, but plenty of businesses are moving to card-only. This is kinda legal gray area now, but when I still owned businesses it was quite illegal. I consulted my business attorney about going to card-only because of too many hold-up attempts. That was a complete non-starter.
