Money sucks, but it's also kinda also how a complex society like ours can exist. You put in work you get reward, in smaller societies it's alot easier to keep people in line without a currency since everyone tends to far more connected to the production of food and other resources and can directly benefit eachother through cooperation. Buddy working in the box factory over here has never met the person gathering their food, nor the 1k others possibly involved in that food getting to the table.
Idk can we do something in the middle? How about we just remove the need for money to acquire basics for humanity and allow currency's to be used for extras like drugs and alcohol.
