my vibe based analysis is that trump is going to win because he reminds people of pre-covid times

i know I'm skipping ahead in our reading here, but do we still use the term exchange value when talking about money?
trying to answer with only my copy of capital in front of me (disclaimer: i might be completely and embarassingly wrong here)
use-value is something that fulfills a specific need (wool having a use-value in the production of yarn). it does not have to be a product of human labour, or be turned into a commodity, but it does need to have some sort of utility
exchange value is independent of utility. yarn here does not contain value by being tied to a specific type of labour (i.e. weaving), it only gains value from the general expenditure of labour-power, and by its social relation to other commodities
but what about the piss
