Transactions

How about transactions that don't balance? Twenty bucks to the newspaper dude and twenty to Evan equals zero. *That* could work. Add that to pancakes.

The five pillars: Equity, Assets, Liabilities, Expenses and Income. Each transaction is a rectangle 2x1 cut into two unit squares. One half red, one half blue. When the five pillars crumble, there shall be X red and X blue.

Even if your liabilities outweigh your assets, you can remember this simple rule, no matter who, no matter what, transactions have two equivalent poles, and are split into the five buckets... and everybody has the same number of each end. That's the law.

Even if you don't follow the law, it's still the way it is. Twenty goes to the newspaper dude, your pocket loses an Andrew Jackson. Twenty goes to Evan, LFCU subtracts 20.00. The previous two sentences show that zero added twice is zero.

This, I believe, proves that pancakes can change the world.

I can't tell if this is good or bad communication. (It's what I am studying in Human Relations class)
