[23:49:55] <exec> 08└─That's partly accurate. My college history class was about the 1920s and this [virginia.edu] was the textbook (full text at the link, and a very good read). Chapters X through XIV explain the stock market crash and its cause. I still have the copy I had to buy in school.

When robots can do almost everyone's jobs we will have to have a Star Trek economy. If there was no such thing as money, Niel DeFrasse Tyson would still be an astrophysicist.
