Re: Value of your dollar
Dollar - A voucher currently exchangeable for the personal use and control of ten kilowatt hours of electrical energy or thirty kilowatt hours of gasoline.
[You’ll vote for this definition every time you pay your power bill, every time you make a withdrawal from the ATM pump at your nearby Texaco bank, or buy a box of macaroni & cheese at your local 7-11 refinery. It is thus both a valid and a useful concept to think of "using dollars" as "spending gasoline".]
