    That is the current administration's plan, isn't it?

    Do you care to know the real truth about why the US and coalition forces were there? It had nothing to do with 'terrorist' made-up narrative bullshit either.

    Speaking of lobotomies, is the "pretty ****ing strong" dollar the reason it takes $1.20 to buy the same :icon_shithappens: that cost $1.00 last year?

    The U.S. is not a "Third World Country" but many are concerned it is becoming more and more like a "Third World Country", moving in that direction.

    There are already several parts of the U.S. that look a little Third World.

    Over the last 20 years it has begun happening in many parts of Europe too, but is still in its very early stages.

    This is not a direction people want the country to go in. Even a gradual rate of change can accumulate over time, 20, 30 years, or even over the course of just two or three generations. And once things change, there is likely no going back.
    There aren't exactly a lot of Third World success stories where they were able to change their Third World living standards.

    lol, dude, you measure the strength of a currency based on how it stacks up against other currency. The dollar is doing fine compared to other currencies, though there are tons of arguments to be made for an advantage to a weaker dollar. Trump, to his credit, actually recognized this. It is one of the only things he understood about economics. As for inflation, which you are talking about and which is different, it is global. If you stack the US up against other countries when it comes to inflation, we're pretty much in the dead center of the pack. There's nothing special about the US when it comes to inflation, and it takes a special kind of stupid to do what some republicans have done and blame that on Biden.

    You tell me. When you want to ignore any information, not wanting to know of any other possibilities, not having an open mind to anything else than your own beliefs. Is that not ignorance?

    I do no such thing, my conspiracy-mongering amigo. Hell, I even read your crazy stuff.

    I read all sorts of material, then I decide. You, well, seem to gravitate toward lunacy. The Dunning Kruger effect, I suppose.

    The democrats crippled his administration with the Russia Hoax cooked up by Clinton & Co. It is amazing he got as much done as he did.

    you can drink the water there, people aren’t hanging from bridges after being tortured by cartels, you can order food without getting your head sawed off. What was your point again?

    You still don't understand how conspiracy theories and conspiracies work, do you? A conspiracy theory is such because there is no evidence to support it, that's because it's a theory. On the other hand, when you have evidence, the theory part is dropped. It then becomes a conspiracy.

    The only reason you perceive it as 'lunacy' is because of your level of consciousness. You can't connect anything.

    No, Biden is worse. If trump had just stayed the course without acting like a grade A ass he’d still be president and this foolish **** wouldn’t be what we’re living in today under sniffy joe.

    You are so good at the thinkin' stuff, and things. It's reflected in your posts. "Covid blahblahblah" "Ekonumics, and things gurgle blahblahblah."

    I so admire your intellectual prowess.

    *LOL*

    Thanks, I wish I could return the sentiment. It's obvious you see no problem going on anywhere hey? This is why ignorance is bliss for you.

    The Chinese don't even want Yuan and would dump it the second they had a chance. When yuan leaves China (which really happens) the CCP doesn't even want it back as they literally print 5-7 times more than dollars printed. No, one wants it, the CCP can't economically survive if it was made fully convertible at market rate (due to capital flight), so it is not going to happen.

    Good is nothing special either and has major problems of its own thus why it always fails.

    I do recall China bought a lot of mined gold from Aus about 10 years ago or so. It was a lot. If I
    remember correctly it was somewhere around 1.4 - 1.8 tons of it. That is approx 28.35grams/ounce. Big Bucks there. Could this be that they too are preparing to back the currency with gold?
