| Dear BrickLink,
Considering the worldwide situation, the financial measures already started in
many countries (including the USA and the EU) and the financial measured not
yet taken, and the obvious consequences of all these (like inflation, devaluation,
and total financial and fiducial chaos), I’d like to strongly suggest BrickLink
add two new, but actually quite ancient, (mostly) universal, and staple currencies:
TP (Toilet Paper) and PST (Pasta).
Thank you,
Sylvain
PS: we’re Wednesday in France.

I'd suggest paracetamol too but that would make them a drug dealer.
Still Tuesday here.

Oops, I forgot that.
Maybe I should buy some
(APAP / acetaminophen for those who don’t use the name paracetamol.)
Yeah France! Always ahead! At least by one hour…

World production of paracetamol is concentrated in China and India, the two countries
occupy about 89.86% of the global production (China 70% India 19%, as per 2018
stats), and their marketshare has been increasing in recent years.
Today, it's over 90% of the world's production. And to be even more specific
in displaying the irony, the production is in the Wuhan area of China, where
the current Corona virus pandemic originated.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry at your attempt at levity. Maybe go with
the best emotion I know, that is a equal mixture of both.

It's our nature biting us in our butt. In 10 years I wonder how we look back
at these times: will it be our last chance for major change in our thinking and
acting, or do we need a couple of more 'virusses' to smash our egoïstic
nature to smithereens.... I am afraid the latter is more likely to become reality.

Interesting thoughts. I don't hold the same sentiments, though.
btw, I like your use of the term "smithereens" Seldom see it used any more.

We might also want to have HCA as currency (hand cleaning alcohol).
Here in Denmark we have a whisky distillery which has changed production from
the finest peated whisky to HCA as this is a shortage here too. Maybe that is
no good idea anyway as you now may want to lick your hands.......
Still Wednesday here for some more hours.

Here it’s LVMH who put their perfume factories to the task, not their wineries
and distilleries.
They’re giving it to hospitals (they can afford it ) so I don’t know how it
smells
