I don't know why this is being down voted. The white Christian nationalist movement absolutely is willing to burn America to get what they want - they are willing to be corrupt, elect corrupt, forget their religion, hurt the out-group,

Of course they will say they are transparent while lying about everything. People have been falling for their lies since 2016. Why wouldn't they keep lying? The real question is why are so many people completely willing to sell their c

I am in America - I genuinely liked some of their flavors, fast service, and happy demeanor of baristas. It always felt like a familiar nice escape from the grind. I wrote all that in the past tense because none of the things I liked about

It is no wonder that Church membership is on the decline. The teachings of the Bible are opposite of what they preach and celebrate. The path of Jesus is opposite of the path of Trump and Republicans. A lot of people can see the hypocrisy a

Hot take but something I learned over many years - for anyone who wants to hear it: The easiest way to a happy life is to follow the motto "live and let live". Live - your life to the fullest. Use your liberty to build your own li

I don't want to try again for someone who doesn't want to research for themselves how foreign countries accumulate reserves. Hint, you literally explained it.

All the points in that link are applicable to MAGA America today. It is happening in front of our eyes - everyday chipping away at human liberties and targeting people.

The missing piece is that transactions lead to reserves.

by nine_zeros 1y ago
A lot of transactions moving away does not mean moving away entirely to a sole new supplier. Even a 10% decline in dollar usage is "moving away". Bit by bit, the rest of the world starts using alternatives. That's how the Bri

Why are you asking for my opinion when other sovereign countries are the ones issuing yuan bonds and migrating away from the dollar?

This article is explaining that yuan is making meaningful headway.

Maybe like the UK but the problem with the US is that the US is a violent country. Lower standard of living is likely to cause violence. UK literally just lost all the colonial wealth but came together to build itself again. In many ways, t

Illuminating article. And if the yuan bonds information is real, it won't even take 4 years for a lot of global finance to move away from the dollar. It might be tough for the US to accept the higher cost of global resources (and thus

Yep. Maga wants the destruction of America but hide that behind the flag. It is truly a sad realization to know that we cannot have a good life because some people want to destroy everything that makes America worthwhile.

Well no shit. We had already seen this rodeo 4 years ago. At that time, low interest rates papered over the loss of manufacturing jobs. And tariffs were only imposed on China. Today, the economy and unilateral tariff situation is so unstabl

Of course, what will the FED do when the fake conservative government didn't really cut spending but only put on a show for fox news?

You could also say Biden won because Trump damaged America the first time around. How far back do you want to go? Or do you want to talk about how people got complacent because things under Biden were generally good?
