			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like money, mostly because it buys ice cream and pills. But I just figured something out. The US government is trying to buy all of the <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2186801/">bad debt</a> in the universe in order to save us from annihilation, because they love us so much. What that translates to is that beginning next month, <em>everyone</em> can stop paying their mortgage! The precedent is being set&#8230;if your debt is bad, someone else will pay it. Capitalism is magic that way.</p>
<p>Also, before paper money becomes totally useless, you might want to convert what&#8217;s left of your cash and bad debts to <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/22/urturn-pays-you-to-use-facebook/">facebook money</a>. Facebook has taken off and will clearly be the successor to US monetary policy, when that system collapses in a month or so. Think about <a href="http://secondlife.com/whatis/marketplace.php">getting set up in Second Life</a> too, so that when you lose your job and house in &#8216;Real Life&#8217; you will at least have something. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s been virtual&#8230;</p>
