I agree there should be a universal cost but it shouldn't be USD. Ideally everyone should be presented with their domestic currency and the universal cost should be along the lines of:

- 100 Mobacoin for the domestic cost of one apple or;

- 2000 Mobacoin for an hour of labor (low wage)

These examples represent a universal cost because it costs the same for everyone in any country in relation to what they earn or spend. What I'm trying to say is universal cost is a different concept to universal currency. It's all very complicated. UK wages are on average lower than US, while cost of living is higher. So you're double shafted Ian. But that got to do with how your country's being run.
