Three ladies go to a restaurant for a meal .They received a bill for $30. Each paid $10 for food . waiter collects the money and takes to The cashier. The bill was $25 so the cashier returned $5 back in singles to the waiter. The waiter kept $2 from the $5 and gave back a $1 to each lady. So originally they each gave $9 and after getting a dollar back, that makes it $10. The $2 need to be subtracted from the $25 not added. Where is the missing dollar go ? Their is no missing dollar its missing statement.

When thinking of the word police, we think about protection, but in today’s society, instead of protection, we think about police brutality. Every day we hear incidents of police brutality and racial violence; innocent people killed because they looked suspicious, or because they were a threat. Research shows that African American men are more likely to be threatened and harassed by police. In 2004, Frank Jude Jr. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin was beaten by police because he was suspected to steal a police badge. He called 911 only to find out that those who were supposed to help him turned against him, the responding officers only came to join the party. 56% of the African American community have dropped calling 911 which makes crime reporting much more difficult for those who need help. Police brutality needs to come to an end; we need to feel safe, not scared.

“Sometimes I can’t do the laundry,” Brannan explains, reclining on her couch. “And it’s not like, ‘Oh, I’m too tired to do the laundry,’ it’s like, ‘Um, I don’t understand how to turn the washing machine on.’ I am looking at a washing machine and a pile of laundry and my brain is literally overwhelmed by trying to figure out how to reconcile them.” She sounds like she might start crying, not because she is, but because that’s how she always sounds, like she’s talking from the top of a clenched throat, tonally shaky and thin” .

Stone money Rewrite – akayoye
If we think about it, Stone money played a great role in the development of our currency today. Today our currency is all computerized, merely a number on a computer screen. There is no physical displacement of the currency rather the ownership is changed. This characteristic of our modern currency is similar to how yaps stone money was not moved from one place to another rather just the ownership was changed. However, we do differ from them in other aspects such as being able to make transactions over long distances in seconds , deposit money at one location and take it out at another to suit our need. We have came a long way from stone money but the fundamentals have not changed .
Money now days has been replaced by fiat money. its means “let it be done ” as like latin words . Money has been given fiat money by government . By law the refusal of “legal tender” money in favor of some other form of payment is illegal. on the 3/10/1862 the first american money has been issued and that time money has some value but now its just a paper for some country’s . they want some valuable stuff instead of american moneys .
It is not only american money effect in exchange money . A lot other country has effect on that too . Asia have a lot effect on the even exchange money . Indian 65 rupees equal 1 american dollar . this is the only reason that some other country want some gold . they don’t want to have other country paper bills . do u even realized that you work 2 jobs and you getting told by your work that the money have been put into you are banking account and you can check you are account . you are money is in your bank account and now you pay your bills some online without touching you are money and then you spend all you are money online like that . for me that was the perfect example foe stone money .

Its accurately happening right in Canada.

We have came a long way from stone money but the fundamentals have not changed . we really can not keep the money forever . we have to spend that some however . to earn a college education you have to give money to earn more money . its kind of look like investment . you give some and get more in the end . i think now every other country want some kind of other gold , diamonds etc. instead of money . we are the country that make their own money . which is make other country think its good to take some other stuff instead of their money
