Although, if you're a Bernie bro, he just might have the stones to round up all the illegals and put them in camps in Texas for the trip back to their homeland. He's made statements in the past that his socialism can't have the free loaders on the system. I dunno why he can't just print more money, but whateva.

You know they'll probably be roomies with the Republicans who can't accept socialism and need "reeducation".

cuz it didn't work so well in the ussr, venezuela, or zimbabwe. Value is determined by public scarcity and a populous willing to accept it. It's why diamond companies went into a panic after people started making fakes you could barely tell apart. Whether it's cloth, paper, or a shiny rock, if everybody's got it there's no easy way to barter with it.

If you want a really enjoyable story about the complexities of economics, look no further than Tulip mania.
