Why would I assume the title is accurate? I’ve never heard this criticism of fiat currency before, since the whole point is that it doesn’t rely on on scarcity but on the stability of the issuing body. Can you explain, or is that outside the scope of this thread?

My current job tried to get me to sign one that would prohibit me both from discussing the content of the NDA, and had a noncompete rider that was extremely aggressive.

I told them I wouldn’t sign it, and it was unenforceable in this state anyway, so they might as well drop it. They did, but the whole thing made me super leery of working here. Corporate bullshit all the way down.

I ended up with a pink-and-purple triple mohawk, my clothes in shreds, and my skin splattered with four different colors of dye. There was exactly one Polaroid taken of the final result and I looked like a plus-sized goblin. Sadly, the photo is lost to time.

Bug in the new point-of-sale software that the managers couldn’t fix caused a small (under $200) sale to not process correctly. Was terminated for money mismanagement. Mgmt was so incompetent that they lost one of their best sellers, and ended up paying me unemployment through the lockdown because they couldn’t defend the termination to the unemployment office.
