The only thing the US still has is its reserve currency and our financial system. We have gutted/sold off everything else to protect these two systems. I think they are trying various quick fixes that use to work (tariffs, immigration, taxes, and money printing). But nothing is working and the markets are no longer responding in historical/expected ways. Triffin warned the world about this.
What happens next no one knows because the world is in uncharted waters. Try to be kind to each other and don’t follow blindly, educate yourself on all sides of an issue. Avoid taking on any additional debt if you can. Remember - social media is a very useful propaganda machine.
Thanks for this comment, @dt+1k1knrngd. We live in a time when it’s more important than ever to see the bigger picture, whether we’re making decisions or simply trying to understand what’s happening to us.
