Cash serves as a universal means of payment for exchanging goods and services that everyone needs. For manufacturers to continue producing these goods and services, prices must be slightly higher than the market value of cash. This is because if the value of the goods or services produced falls below the cash, manufacturers or service providers will prefer to hold cash instead of producing these goods or services. Consequently, it is accurate to say that the value of cash is less than that of the goods or services. However, people desire cash because it functions as a means of payment endowed with “compulsory circulation power.” In other words, cash has no limits on the exchange of value and possesses the capacity to reward even human life. Due to its enforced value exchange by law, people consistently strive for cash, even if it holds less value than goods. Therefore, all economic indicators and expressions of wealth are converted into cash. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Vaccines have allowed people to travel worldwide. Migration and population density are benefits of vaccines. When vaccines failed to curb the epidemic, the “space” ultimately addressed the epidemic. This history is why maintaining “social distance” is essential. Hunting requires one million square meters to secure a person’s livelihood, but urbanization restricts many individuals from accessing such vast spaces. On the other hand, if agriculture can address livelihood needs with just 500 square meters, and its efficiency can increase by 2,000 times, then the perspective on the epidemic reveals insights about civilization. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
