"the public" and "public" are two different things. the labor and resource markets are private, not public.

[pests]

The markets maybe. Markets aren't the thing though.

[MrNeon]

Neither are the things in question, the resources for movie making are not public, crew isn't public, actors aren't public. It's not a public resource in any way.

[arpa]

money is a public resource.

[MrNeon]

Money isn't consumed and it only has value when used.

[arpa]

that's true. Therefore billions should return into circulation and/or otherwise return to the public.

[MrNeon]

Believe it or not billionaires are part of the public and those billions are in circulation. There are no dragons sitting on hoards of gold.

More importantly: money that is not in circulation doesn't affect you or me, it has the same weight on the economy as all the gold still not mined.
