Apparently Vegas Vince is right, as hard as that is for me to admit. In a student created video “documenting” the barter system, it became apparent to me that we in the barter industry have done a bad job of making ourselves heard in the long view. Chickens for Doctors is one of the headlines that is all over all of the news outlets, and most of the content of these stories paints barter as an ancient idea, one that went out of fashion with corsets and white wigs. Sue Lowden, though she didn’t mean to do it, has brought barter in to a specific light. Barter is now being scrutinized more than it ever has.
And this video tells us what people think barter is…chickens for goats.
Like Lucy, we have some explaining to do.
