RE: The Economist 1988's Front Cover Foretelling a World Currency in 2018 - Is This True?

Nothing against good entertainers, but I just have a beef when it comes to weak journalism that takes advantage of people's fears and insecurities.

This is so many entertainers these days, because it sells. No doubt that was the goal of @dollarvigilante, at least to some extent. This is a beautiful community that has so much great going for it, and one of those things is the potential to earn money. Making a post that posits conspiracy theories/propaganda is almost sure entertainment, likely to grab attention and get upvotes, especially if the author is good at his craft. The entertainment tag is a great idea for people not wanting to get confused with propagandists, though maybe disclosing that cover wouldn't suit the cause...

Anyway, interesting rant here. A+
