Can you show me where I said the aircraft carriers need to be gotten rid of? Can you show me where I even mentioned income inequality, let alone said it should be gotten rid of?

Your glib reply of 'lol, banks already do this, why do we need to put it on the blockchain' just assumed that banks exist without external costs. And now I'm supposed to get rid of all the external costs you don't know exist? Get an imagination, or beat up on a different straw man.

So you're saying that society as a whole would be better off simply using banks? Given that the external costs of banks have already been paid, and we can save a ton of energy by not flooding the etulip market with speculation.
