Scott Duncan Since 1982, it's FOLLOW THE MONEY. It's ALL ACCOUNTING and SURETY.
Scott Duncan Now the Nobles and the Banks are at war. Nobody even notices.
Dino Quiring I have been having a lot of trouble comprehending SURETY. Is it the slaves presumed earnings in their lifetime has been leveraged, traded and monetized?
Dino Quiring In commerce, it seems simple.
Scott Duncan Yes.
I can say "Next year my slaves can produce 100 bushels of cotton".
I know that's not much, but they are black, and I don't beat them, so they aren't really productive...
...still, I can SECURITIZE that and SELL that prediction on the market. I will need Sambo, Toby and Abooikuh to facilitate it, so I put their names down on the security instrument.
...if those slaves don't produce what I promised, they will have to work off the balance on another plantation!
I hope that was clear/tasteless enough.
