UNO or so would make 1 price for everything. Rice? 1€/kg! A Playstation? 1€/kg! Get your hair cut? 1€/kg! A house? 1€/kg!
This does qualify as a thought I guess …

Buy Hydrogen and Oxygen, then resell it as water. How you get there is up to you.
Stonks!
I prefer the labor-time
Labor-time? How much do you weigh? 1€ per kg per hour!
Muricans gonna be wealthy as fuck
We would be if we knew what the fuck a kg was.
It’s how many grandmas you can kill in the alotted time.
Kill-a-Grans per hour.
