Carbon Counting

ReadWhen it all comes down to it, using carbon as the world currency after the monetary system breaks down makes too much sense. Already the mechanism is in action for the bankers to scurry quickly into the marketplace to rig the system before most people get there. As essay in working mathematics, i will calculate the value of carbon in a 200 pound human being and see what it costs on the open market.
ThisThe back of the envelope answer is that we are 75% water 50 lb and 40% of the remainder is carbon 20 lb /2000 ton = .01 tons x 73cents = just less than a penny. Bout right in worth , eh? How much do organs sell for?
NowOoops - the carbon to carbon dioxide equivalents fudge factor x 3.67 gets up up to 4 cents a person.
