It wastes about as much energy as mining gold. It's equally as stupid as gold. No some small amount of gold being used for actual practical purposes doesn't matter that much.
Well people make pretty jewelry out of gold, even if it's not practical, it's a tangible thing people actually get to use.
Also this is a dumb argument that you only hear to appeal to libertarians because they all have gold bars buried in their yard because they think the federal reserve is going to collapse next week.
This reminded me of my libertarian econ prof who would claim that central planning under socialism was inferior to the free market because "otherwise how do you know it's a bad idea to not build streets out of gold?"
I genuinely should've just become some econ prof or something, you can honestly be the dumbest motherfucker on the planet just saying the most braindead shit that your mouth hole manages to enunciate and there's still people that treat is as anything else but capitalist theology
Like just imagine actually saying this and also thinking this is actually qualifies as a thought to anyone who isn't terminally brain damaged. Fucking rocks man, glad we structure our world around this shit in large parts
I'm not anyways, but yeah there is good economics, I'm talking about being like this high priest of capitalist type econ prof who just makes shit up all the time and people pretend it's some grand insight.
Like just coming up with convoluted takes as to how toilets could have existed in the soviet union with no incentive for anyone to make a profit of not shitting on your floor :thonk:

Yes I will die on that hill.

Yeah, I went to a pretty shitty college...

The Koch brothers fund a bunch of econ chairs at US universities. It's a good grift.

Obviously there would be no roads under socialism. Solid gold train tracks all the way :train-shining:
Cause it would be really difficult and probably wouldn't make for a good road.
