The great secret of the medieval economy is that it has almost no parallels to the modern economy.
You can't directly compare medieval guilders to modern cash. Almost no one was on "salary". Your employees were apprentices, serfs, or relatives. You could live an entire happy and prosperous life and never own an actual silver coin.

Everything that is happening in Canada has nothing to do with Donald Trump and everything to do with the liberal government, Mark Carney and Justin Trudeau.
Mark said he would get a deal and instead he was the other country to retaliate against America beside China. He did the exact opposite of what he promised!
Carney will not save Canada.
You liberal voters have all been played!
Royal Marines Commandos placing explosives charges on railway tracks during an amphibious raid behind North Korean lines. They're using US gear weirdly enough.
🇺🇸 Trump just said it plainly:
“The problem isn’t Canadians. The problem is Canada’s leadership.”🇨🇦
He’s right. And so is every Canadian who’s been saying it for two years.
While ordinary Canadians struggled with rent, groceries and mortgages ..their leaders were busy performing.
Eby said Canada should look elsewhere. 📣
Ford talked about “dismantling” the US. 📣
Carney said all options are on the table. 📣
None of them had a plan.
All of them had a microphone.🎙️
Meanwhile:
📌 USMCA unwinding
📌 2 million jobs at risk
📌 Dollar at multi-month lows
📌 China tariffing Canadian farmers
📌 Canadians lining up at food banks
The tough talk cost nothing for the politicians delivering it.
It cost everything for the Canadians living under it.
Trump didn’t cause Canada’s leadership problem.
He just named it.

Nursing Sisters of No. 10 Canadian General Hospital, RCAMC landing at Arromanches, France,
On 23 July 1944, Nursing Sisters of No. 10 Canadian General Hospital, Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps (RCAMC), came ashore at Arromanches, France. By this point, the Allied bridgehead in Normandy was firmly established, and Canadian medical units began moving across the Channel to support the growing number of casualties from the bitter fighting around Caen.
The Nursing Sisters, nicknamed “Bluebirds” after their blue uniforms, were trained professionals who brought medical skill and discipline to the chaotic conditions of wartime hospitals. No. 10 Canadian General Hospital was a large formation, capable of handling thousands of patients. Once established inland, its staff worked around the clock performing surgery, dressing wounds, and caring for soldiers suffering from shock, infection, or the long recovery of convalescence. Casualties from the battles for Verrières Ridge, Falaise, and beyond would soon pass through their wards.
Their landing in Normandy marked another stage in the Canadian Army’s build-up in France. Just as infantry battalions and armoured regiments were required to break German resistance, the medical services were essential to sustaining combat power. The work of the Nursing Sisters and their colleagues ensured that wounded soldiers had the best chance of survival, often making the difference between life and death.
Err, mate, there's a whole forend they put there to hold on to. It's even got two little finger guards so your little piggies don't get too close to the ejection port or muzzle... 🤔
