>Be Economics Professor Anon.
>trying to teach Applejack some basic business skills.
>Somehow she keeps nearly loosing her farm with little overhead.
>She passes with flying colors, top of the class even!
>Great, maybe she'll finally start making a profit.
>One year later you check in on her.
>The farm once more is under threat of closing.
"Applejack, what the fuck?"
>"Your fancy smancy ehcawnamics did nuthin! All my money's still goin' faster than a jack rabbit with ice skates made of greased lightning!"
"Well where do you keep your money?"
>"Back in the barn, ah don' trust no stringin' money grubbin' banks."
"Care to show me?"
>She leads you out back to the barn, and opens up the cellar.
>Inside is very little, only a few bags of bits.
>And... is that someone eating?
>"See? It keeps vanishing!"
>You look around a bit, not paying attention to Applejack but focusing on that sound.
>It seems to be coming from the bags themselves.
>You poke one, and it shuffles.
"AHAH!"
>You rip the bag open, and see Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom.
>Their coats are stained brown, and the three of them look pudgy.
>Surrounding them all are a large ammount of golden wrappers.
>Turns out, Equestria uses chocolate coins, and the CMC caught on to this.
>Gold is actually quite rare, all of it was used up for guard armor, so the Government had to find an alternative.
>Fucking cost cutting.
