if you think about it money doesn't make any goddamn sense

[Harold O'Brien]

say a house costs $500,000 and a chocolate bar costs $1.

so you're telling me one house is equivalent to 500,000 chocolate bars? there's no way the value of raw materials is not in favour of the chocolate bar (and it's packaging)

brb shorting the housing market and hoarding chocolate bars

Are you on drugs
Chocolate bars are yummy
Houses aren't

Ok man

There is much more involved in the value of something than raw materials and packaging

Also if you bought 500,000 chocolate bars that are sold individually at $1, you wouldn’t pay $500,000

Another r****d larping high iq

It's not really supposed to make sense, it's all structured upon demand/wants. No one will (realistically) want 500,000 chocolate bars, but they may want to buy a house. Trade was always like this. For example, you may equate the value of two sheep to two cows. But another person may equate the value of two sheep to one cow. Trade is built upon demand, and money is developed upon trade. TL;DR people need to build their house out of 500k chocolate bars.
