What would happen if the system was random? If each dollar in your wallet came from one person in the nation of America and each dollar you spent went to one random person from all the Americans.

So let’s say everyone is represented by a dollar that is constantly moving around, and when you get a dollar it was from one random person, and when you give a dollar away it goes to a random person.<br><br>So that’s funny, but it’s sort of scary if you think about it like that. If you’re spending $5 for something, is the money going to the poorest people, or the people who are already rich. So obviously it goes to people who are spending money. But like if you spend money at a fortune 500 company, the money will be spread from mostly very rich people, to very rich people, among other things, and if you’re spending money at a local business, you don’t know how much it’s going to the owner and employees, but it’s more than the fortune 500 CEO is going to see.<br><br>So yeah that was all I got..
