OK if we have to barter for services, what do we do until the crops come in?
Or is it onions and potatoes in Winter, flowers in Spring, cows in Summer, tomatoes and corn in the fall?


And how many chickens can I use for condoms or whiskey?

1. Maybe you can get your city/state to barter on your behalf
Remove the blood sucking middle men.

6. Are you any good at yard work?
How are your roofing skills? Perhaps you could simonize the doctor's Mercedes? Come on people, show some imagination! It doesn't have to be just chickens, although that seems to be the preferred currency of Republican airheads.

8. And what about city zoning regulations that prohibit chickens?
Not to mention cows and pigs?

Do we have to go out and buy some chickens to give to the doctor? How many chickens for an office visit? How many for an xray? And if I need surgery, how many for the nurses, anesthesiologists and the rest of the surgical team?

10. Many people will become prostitutes just to get minimium care.
I'd imagine that your average suburban doc isn't interested in livestock.
