It’s all part of the ginormous underground economy as the US devolves into a third world scenario.
Couple days ago I read a story how canned cola has become a defacto currency of poor rural Kentucky. When the $500 food stamp deposit arrives, everybody purchases cases of canned pop.
Then they sell the pop to other stores for 50 cents on the dollar.
See my Post #8 - similar lines...
Well, the kakistocrats wanted us to look more like the rest of the world. I guess a burgeoning underground economy will be one of the hallmarks of that. This is the underlying reason that I see for amnesty: we have millions of people living here who theoretically shouldn't be able to survive, but seem to be doing just fine on the underground economy. The kakistocrats don't want the rest of us to look around and start getting uppity ideas about doing the same thing.
"Couple days ago I read a story how canned cola has become a defacto currency of poor rural Kentucky."
And in the ghettos, bottles of Tide detergent have become a defacto currency as well. I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I find it sad that part of our population has to use soda pop and detergent as currency. On the other had, those de facto currencies will probably retain their value better than yellen bux will!
