When it comes to headlines, the only thing those editors could barter for is "I'll give you a beer if you say something really stupid". They are J-school grads, after all.

You did take a dig at folks on FR that do real barter. I've been known to participate myself.

That’s fair...I did take a dig, forgot. I agree that we can all probably barter to some extent...but not nearly enough to live on if no currency was around. For example, I can probably fix someone’s air conditioner for something that’s useful to me...but finding people with broken air conditioners is not always easy.

That’s all I was getting at - there will always be currency, even where people try to ignore the state currency.
