Awkward Counter Point #1

In an earlier blog post (Awkward Injustice #3, Puppy Bubble) my esteemed but woefully inastute colleague proposed an economy that would not only include puppies but also many types of God's beasts . 

While a diversified economy is a good thing, this plan forgets the power of the puppy lobby and any bestial economic solution will have an overriding preface for big pup. This will turn out like the bio-fuel debacle of 2006 and make the price of cheep dependable puppy go through the ruff. All kidding aside, we need to move to a more stable economic theory; dirt. Soil, spoil, bog mud, clay, that's right, dirt. 

You don't need to train dirt, feed dirt, take dirt outside to go to the bathroom, pay dirt or tell dirt that it's the cutest thing in the world. Dirt is not sexy, but it's stable. You cant trade dirt bonds, just add more or less water depending on the type of dirt for a stronger or weaker bond. It practically manages itself. Plant your hedge fund in dirt and watch the equity grow.
