    I don't but in the interest of fairness such reset is a good idea, just don't rest the post counts.

        If you wiped out debt you would simultaneously destroy all of the accumulated wealth that was lent in order to facilitate it. Everyone would end up with nothing, not just the people who are currently minus something or other.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          Only until the next invoice is paid out.

            Your outstanding invoice is a debt. It would be wiped out. You could of course do some more work but your client would be unable to pay you because they would have no money.

            The money in your bank account is a debt owed to you by the bank. That would be wiped out too.

              All true, but I forgot to mention I would be allowed a balance of 1 trillion (just a electronic amount to owed to me) to get the system working again.

                I think everyone should have 20 chickens and start from there.

                Although we'd still end up with fat bastards with no chickens and miserable vegetarians with thousands of chickens lecturing those with no chickens how best to avoid second hand chicken smoke.
                If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                    OMG! Global Warming/Cooling/Disruption/Climate Change/Latest Marketing Nomenclature etc

                    Chicken Licken was right to be hysterical. The sky really is warming up due to chicken made emissions. Sorry, falling down.
