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.
