Could we live without Wall Street?

Trick question, obviously you can, Black Wall Street was burnt to a crispy cinder and we're doing, uhhh... just fine. (more or less). If Americans woke up tomorrow and could no longer buy sell and trade imaginary wealth, stocks, credit, debts, bonds, post-bonds, pre-bonds, bond-bonds and all that other fake garbage what would happen?

I don't understand any of that economic shit but I'm guessing it might be the equivalent of a 40 megaton explosion.

The only real question involves all the other trading exchanges around the world.

If you/I couldn't invest we would put our money into a bank and they would probably invest in our place. Actually there might not be big businesses if there were no investors so businesses would be limited to the wealth an owner could accumulate to invest in his own business.

I'm telling you I just don't see a reason for even having money! I mean it is backed by nothing just a slip of paper that says various numbers on it! I mean society existed well before money and it could exist after the reason: Basic survival! We need shelter clothes and food all can be done by bartering with people! Imagine the world helping each other instead of tearing each other down and trying to beat each other to the top! What would these fat assed slobs with their dicks in everything stifling the little guy?! Call me crazy but it just might be the road to world peace!

Money itself is 'fake'.
