I have no alternative. That's why I stated that I use it. You don't need to have faith and trust in a thing to know that you have no other option at the moment.

There are people in this country who live 100% off the grid, producing their own food, composting 100% of their waste, with trained medical professionals living right within the community, who use swap-meets to acquire and provide goods and services. There are communities like that right here in the good ole USA.

I'm not interested in living in one of those, but sure - those are totally alternatives to money.
