Honestly, makes sense. If I believed that rule of law was real, this might even stand up

It's just not though. The law is what people believe it to be

    Does it make sense? I'm not following their logic (which is normal for these)

    Yes, because federal reserve notes (aka fiat currency) wasn't a thing when the basic frameworks were established. Hell, it was just straight up fraud that created it, the problem just got out of hand and so they put a bandaid on the problem... It's a fundamentally nonsensical system

    There's probably tons of unpatched laws that don't take this into account, or even explicitly carve this out

    Our laws are a crazy mess
