More money news.

I have never fully understood money, exchange rates, and all that shit. You know, I'm stupid, but I'm not fucking stupid. As yet, the whole subject area has never been more than muddily clear. My personal theory has always been that business and econ people got tired of watching the "smart" people, like doctors and engineers, so they came up with a system that was so fucking inane, complex, and illogical that the "smart" people couldn't figure it out, thus making themselves look smarter than they really are.
