Why don't people ask the obvious questions anymore, /pol/?
You spend 1/3 of your life at work. Or more. Everyone does. And yet, most people hate it. "They only do it because they need money." Well no shit. But if you ask anyone where money comes from, nobody fucking knows. It seems like such an obvious question, since so much of our life, our culture, revolves around money. Why is nobody asking the obvious questions anymore, /pol/?

Most of the money average American spends are either petro dollars or loaned dollars from Chinese.

Because our standards of living would collapse as a society if we didn't. Supply of goods would be significantly down and demand would rise with the increase of free time.

Have you never read a book in your entire life, OP? I mean, fuck, at least google it and watch a youtube video. This shit is well documented.

Money comes from the central bank. It's basically just debt (an IOU slip) that the central bank sells to the government in exchange for a promise to pay back with tax dollars at a later date.
The rich Jews who own the central bank don't expect that debt to ever actually be paid back, though. They're just interested in the interest, which is what they live like gods off of, and know the principle is unpayable. The government has to pay the interest or else the Jewish-owned credit rating companies will downgrade the government's credit rating causing it to go bankrupt and collapse.
The interest keeps compounding, meaning that the debt can only ever grow. Every year the Jews siphon off more and more wealth from the taxpayer this way. There will come a time when the interest payments are so large that there will not be enough wealth on earth to pay them, and that's when the Jews will make their move and call in their debts and replace the governments of the earth with a one world government and they will go about transforming this world into Hell.
Money is basically just a certificate of ownership proving that we and our children and our children's children and so on are slaves to the Jews forever.

>herp derp a pure trade economy is really fucking inconvenient
>what if we all decide that some shiny metals that are cut down to the same size and shape and have the same consistency/purity can have a value by proxy and use them as an intermediary to trade
>oh shit now it's easier and more convenient to do trade, compensate time and services, etc.
>to make sure our economy stays stable, our new thing called "money" should be hard to just create more of, should be easily interchangeable, should be divisible, and should be small and portable
>honestly these heavy metal coins are still not convenient enough and the purity, shape, and size vary too much because of the nature of the material
>let's store all of our shiny metal away and create a uniform looking piece of paper (which is still hard to recreate without the right technology) that represents a certain amount of shiny metal that represents some arbitrary value in goods, services, time, etc.
>this paper no longer has intrinsic value, but it is "backed" by the shiny metal because it represents some amount of it
> <insert years of over-complicated jewery resulting in a debt based economy and the banking system/federal reserve we know today>
>herp derp let's just start saying that this paper has value now because we say so instead of it being backed by shiny metal
That's the gist of it.
