Comment IMO: Gov should ETF Index fund as bases for money (Score 0) 125

That way we have money that is actually worth something and would reflect that nation's actual wealth.

The S&P ETF SPY is about $645 right now. So that would be one share. Then have deci, centi, and milli, and micro shares. Just use decimals.

For example a car might cost 45.145 shares. Shoes might cost about a deci-share or 0.12 shares.

The value of money would be set by the market, instead of cabal of investment bankers. We have deflation, instead of inflation.

Unless your hands-on work is totally repetitive, like assembly line worker, warehouse work, or some agricultural workers, your job is probably safe. If you do hands-on work in construction, police, hospital, military; your job is probably safe.

If you work at a computer terminal, or some kind of paperwork; your job may not so safe.
