Re: How do we pay for trade?
I tried to read your screed but I don't read gibberish. As is typical you did not address the questions I posed. Maybe you are incapable. Are you having another breakdown? A manic episode? I think you need help.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: How do we pay for trade?
Do you realize trade deficit and budget deficit are not the same thing or related? What does a trade deficit have to do with brainpower? You might want to make an appointment with your therapist. You seem to be in a manic state. Maybe they need to up your meds.

Re: Some Genuine News About the Dollar as the Global Currency
The reason the Yuan does not float is because the govt of China controls its value. The antithesis of a free market. Phat does not understand any of this, and I fear never will because there is another tik tok video with slick production values to fall for.

You wouldn't know rational if it bit you on the ass. You have to have some knowledge of a subject to know what is rational. Your inability and unwillingness to engage in points brought up here exposes your utter and extreme ignorance.

Phat wrong again?
I remember him saying that China was going to take over the world. Something about we have too much socialism or some other sort of bullshit. Who knows? Hard to tell because all he spouts is gibberish. Seems China is in a world of hurt. Another paper tiger like the Muscovites? China's industrial profits tumble, deepening economic gloom | Reuters
quote:
Annual profits at China's industrial firms extended a double-digit decline in the first five months as softening demand squeezed margins, reinforcing hopes of more policy support to bolster a stuttering post-COVID economic recovery. The 18.8% year-on-year slump in profits came on top of the 20.6% contraction in January-April, and added to evidence of an economy that was losing steam on many fronts in May including retail sales, exports and property investment as youth jobless rate scaled a fresh high of 20.8%.

Re: Phat wrong again?
Irrelevant, off-topic, and not factual. But then again par for the course for you.

Re: 2024 Financial Apologetics
From what I hear, when certain BRICS nations cash in their bonds, they then buy gold.
Show us the source. Why would they do this?

Re: Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics
Note the idiocy of Janet Yellen
Do you think she operates in a vacuum? This is US government policy. She does not have a YouTube channel and I think she is a bit brighter than the con artists you like to follow.
Critics argue that using a global reserve currency as a "weapon" will ultimately lead to less reliance and use of such a currency
Which critics? What other currency are they going to use? Please show us the actual official plans to institute a "BRICS" currency.

Re: Financial Apologetics In 2024 And Beyond
Do Fiat currencies determine the price of gold or does Gold aid in determining the *value* of fiat currencies?
Why do you think deflation and a barter economy will be such a good thing? There is not enough gold in the world to have an economy based on it. Why gold? Why not some other commodity?
Everyone is so gung ho on the US dollar as the anchor, forgetting the lessons of history
What lessons?

Re: Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics
You want to see stupid? You want to see less reliance on using the dollar?
quote:
Economic advisers close to former President Donald Trump are actively debating ways to devalue the U.S. dollar if he’s elected to a second term — a dramatic move that could boost U.S. exports but also reignite inflation and threaten the dollar’s position as the world’s dominant currency.
Trump trade advisers plot dollar devaluation This is what happens when you appoint attorneys and true believers instead of experts. Robert Lighthizer - Wikipedia
