re: #116 Guanxi88

But that’s what I’m not getting. What’s the analogy? What is the government doing that’s the equivalent of swiping and replacing $100? Who is the dude saying the hotel rooms aren’t good enough actually supposed to represent?

Hell, if anything, the government is either a guy telling you the rate is now $120 because he just increased the amount of dollars floating around in the town, or he’s just a dude who takes that $100 and gives you back $80, keeping the rest for processing fees. But he wouldn’t be the hotel owner of somewhere you didn’t stay at— that bit makes no sense.
