But this led us to talking about dollars and I mentioned the irony of people were taking up the idea of putting a black women on the 10 dollar bill and then one minute later they put out the play Hamilton (rap by black and Hispanic author team) to go and salvage Hamilton’s reputation.

Makes me wonder who backed that play

So James (RI) “real intelligence” and I were talking about the idea of getting rid of the penny. I am just thinking it could be a government first step to just get of cash altogether

I am riding down Baltimore Ave past a bunch of shops that were in business recently but not anymore. I mean a breakfast and lunch place that is closed at breakfast time . Unless they just do weekends? Many others two coffee shops in this yuppie neighborhood. But this is archaic capitalist stuff. That adage that oh build apartments and put retail on the first floor: everywhere.

Then you have the small business guys free market their way through this, succeed and fail. I was just thinking about the initial markets every body in one place, competing , negotiating with sellers.

But , moreso, back to the free market in conjunction with some of your ideas. The entities, government and builders just dangle the promise of business and tax revenue and over build, like throwing shit and see what sticks. Builders don’t care they already made their money building.

The issue is there is no analysis of things in free market. No determination of if the business is actually needed. Maybe they don’t need those two coffee shops but they shouldn’t have wasted time and money opening them in the first place. No real, direct support for the business people to insure the enterprise they are trying to run will succeed and maybe because they are filling a need; and not with the illusion of capitalist, free market competition even.
