 It's crazy (to me) that you can exchange only 64 US government debasement units (dollars) for 100,000 purchasing power units (sats).

 100,000,000 🙂 
 I have to give 87 Canadian government debasement units (dollars) for 100,000 sats.  Maybe it is because nobody has hear of the Canadian dollar, I know it is hard to get rid of bellow the 48 parallel.  
 That’s unfortunate, but at least you can still get something for them. 😂 
 Our GDP per capital is now at a record 30 per cent below U.S. GDP per capital levels. I wish someone as smart as you would explain this to me.  I always viewed Canadians as just as smart and industrious as Americans. How can our system be that bad compared to the US system? 
 Lots of reasons. 
But a primary one is that Canadian free markets have been almost completely co-opted by the central authorities. 
Centrally-controlled markets are dysfunctional, by definition.
