Message:: [QUOTE="coinaline, post: 5291052, member: 115811"]Question to the naysayers. What if the coin that would be hypothetically bought is being sold by a retiree who is selling his collection to make ends meet?  What if he lost his part time job and social security isn't enough?  You can't possibly deem one purchase "bad" and another "good", so please try not to be judge, jury, and executioner. Sometimes in thinking we know better where other people's money should be spent, we miss the fact that all the "frivolous purchase" businesses and their hardworking employees also need to make ends meet and deserve to have our business as well. Consumption as stimulus works no matter where the money is spent, even on the black market as the money that purchases illicit items finds its way right back at the local store. I understand people are hurting, and I count myself very lucky.  However, the source of many of our problems has not missed a single paycheck or luxury while letting us eat cake (or bugs if the WEF gets their utopia).[/QUOTE]
