You know, I’ve heard that the barter system, as a foundation of economics, is essentially made up. Like, obviously people barter, but the idea that it was a universal precursor to money was essentially invented by capitalists in the industrial era, who never could have dreamed of the myriad interesting ways thar people distributed wealth!

Apparently one of the more common ones was a sort of “gifting” system, where people just gave each other what they needed. 🤷 But of course this wasn’t universal either.

The truth is always important.

I forget the exact details, but WotC ended up sending some thugs to this guys house to retrieve the merchandise via intimidation, and the company those thugs worked for was related to the Pinkertons from your high school civics textbook. (Like, they had acquired them in a merger or something.)

😮‍💨 Great… I guess autism will be at the center of the mext big culture war. Yippee…

Worth noting by the way that instagram is owned by Meta - the very company the post is calling out.
