It’s amazing how many different species of Knowaguy there are. I recently was introduced to a friend’s “Bridge Guy” - a dealer in surplus bridges who will cut you a suspiciously good deal if you seem cool. Not the most immediately useful, but like… Could be damned handy to have in my back pocket should the right circumstances arise.
Societies that run on neighbours, friends, acquaintances, and that guy over there helping each other out in exchange for sharing pizza and beer afterwards are wholesome societies.
No matter where you come from , once you can say “I know a guy” you’re an American.
I may not know a guy, but I know a guy who knows a guy

Be careful acquiring bridges from a guy. I’ve heard that can go horribly sweet awry and quickly.
You got a guy guy? Nice
It still counts!
Societies that run on favors are corrupt societies.

I think I didn’t say it how I meant to say it. I meant in a political sense, there’s no law, just who you know.
Depends on the favors. Moving furniture for others in exchange for a portion of a pizza isn’t a problem.
No not that
A society that operates on an assumption of mutual support is generally just called anarchy.
