US paper money USED TO BE redeemable for a specified weight of silver per dollar of face value. The exchange rate was set by law. In contrast, the "Federal Reserve Notes" now in use are not redeemable (by law) for anything other than US Treasury bills.

So, why does the USD have any value at all?

One reason is because the law gives them the status of "legal tender," which means exactly what it says on US paper currency: You have the right to use it to satisfy debt obligations, including taxes due.

Creditors MUST, by law, accept debt repayments in the form of US dollars. Refusal to do so results in the courts deeming the debt to have been paid anyway—but only if the repayment is in the form of cash or a cash-equivalent instrument (e.g, a bank account balance increase,) or is successfully converted into such by the creditor, such as by depositing a check that subsequently clears.

The other reason is simply because society chooses to accept payment in USD, at whatever rate of exchange the market will bear.

@waltercool @icedquinn @meowski Only because the US banned oil drilling in the Great Lakes.

I'm starting to think that wisdom tooth extraction is just a scam, like circumcision.

>"covid 19 was planned/hoaxed" i don't think it was actually orchestrated or anything, but i do think the situation was *extremely* taken advantage of, doing lots of really scummy shit and using covid as an excuse.

Event 201 is an obvious indicator that the whole thing was planned along with people working with coronavirus vaccines shortly before the first outbreak. There are plenty other evidence that the whole thing was planned well in advanced.

@xianc78 without actually doing the bingo, i think a good amount of these are actually half truths. real to some extent but perhaps not in the same way. for instance, "white genocide is real" i don't think means the actual killing of white people, but there's another word for it which is more or less replacement by subversion/replacement tactics.

or "covid 19 was planned/hoaxed" i don't think it was actually orchestrated or anything, but i do think the situation was *extremely* taken advantage of, doing lots of really scummy shit and using covid as an excuse.

and on the topic of climate change, i'm of the opinion that man contributes to it but our level of contribution is so little it doesn't make much of a difference, especially when places outside of the west do so much more but we're the ones stuck with journalists telling us not to eat cows because their farts cause climate change or some shit. i think the problem that is far worse is water pollution.

>You play with your fingers

At that point, it's just Friday Night Funkin'.

After making this, I realized that I should've added more like the depopulation agenda and America secretly still being a British colony.

Also I didn't add "Epstein Didn't Kill Himself" because everyone knows it and it's now just some shitty phrase that people like Sal the Agorist use to sell T-shirts.

@moomin I didn't say that I agree with any or all of these theories. I picked from what seemed to be the most popular. I'm skeptical about everything.
