  • Jct: There was nothing wrong with a company store that would accept scrip by the workers so the store could buy in bulk and provide better prices. Oh, you're talking about those loanshark company stores. Focus on the loanshark, not the community currency store.

  • Jct: Government could run chips right too, Lincoln, King Henry, Iroquois, did. But people can run their own chips too.
