Quotes
Hippocampus: What happens if people ever really question the system? It will not stand up to even the most basic scrutiny.
Tyrannis: They won't, because they're lazy, and even if one day they do, we'll be long dead by then, and it will be someone else's problem.
Narrator: But the people never did lose faith. Rather than question how currency worked, they just went along with it, because they really liked buying stuff, which meant they needed more money. So everybody got jobs and worked themselves to the bone. All of this working ate up so much of their lives, they began to forget what made living special. But eventually the system grew so large, that trying to challenge it would mean the end of everything... so nobody did. And that's how we got Walmart.

The system was already there, so the joke falls flat.

This episode made zero sense. They already had a sudo money system, they had a guy chop up animals to "make" change. So all they did was going from a horrible animal abuse system to a metal based system.

The inflation point made sense, but the point would be the same if one year more chickens where born than the last, as now chickens would go down in value.

I know we like to point fingers and laugh at the system, but to be fair it's the best one we got and it has saved billions of lives. A barter system stops being functional at a point. If to many items are on the marked, the distances is to great or to many people are in the systems. Imaging having to barter every time you had to fill your car up, or live in a communist country were you have no say it what you do with your life.

As this was the "joke" of the episode it felt a bit empty and boring. The actors are still good and the animation is okay, but really not a great episode.
