    What if money was just called hours?

    Difficult jobs are worth more hours than easy jobs and require more specialized skills. If the specific skill is not part of the repertoire then the job will be exceptionally difficult and/or impossible.

      There were some experiments where currency was actually denominated in hours, usually as part of a co-op system where you were literally trading for hours of labour.

      I think the most famous one was in Ithaca, NY.

          That one was called the Ithaca HOUR. I learned about the Cincinnati Time Store, which was maybe the first one, on a podcast that I cannot find now. So I’m somewhat useless but there are some names to search at least!

        But an hour waiting on an email shouldn’t be the same as an hour of heavy lifting

        In the not-too-distant future

        You can’t start a sentence with that and not expect me to get distracted thinking of a certain theme song.

        Honestly a face of mine. Acting is solid and storyline is like a dystopian Robin Hood almost.

        This is a good one to show people to get them thinking about class consciousness.

      Can’t do that because hours are gods.
