    All this shit didn’t even have to happen but for the sack of rotten oranges posing as the president. WTF.

      We need to fix the system that allowed him to become president. Both the electoral structure and the right-wing propaganda machine. And the useless opposition.

        It’d be nice if the USA could set its own house in order.

            They put their founding in a fairy tale story. And say can’t change the constitution even though it has been changed.

        That would be the education system, and Republicans have spent decades doing everything they can to destroy it.

          The education system is dominated by the left, what are you talking about.

        China has been selling US treasury bonds over the last year.

    This would be like taking Musk’s money by making him sell his stocks. Once the market is flooded with paper, it becomes less and less valuable, very quickly. Musk doesn’t actually have hundreds of billions anymore than the UE has trillions in US treasuries.

    I know that’s ridiculously oversimplified, but someone has to buy those bonds, and the later you are to the selling table, the less you get.

      Yep, the massive bond dump is just a meme. It’s financial MAD and would destroy the the finances of the countries selling off. Nobody wants it.

      Finally, somebody with understanding of how bonds REALLY operate and their purpose. What is in all those memes, are just “wet dreams”, that are far from reality.

    It’s a striking image, but it’s worth remembering how interconnected global finance really is—big moves tend to ripple, not flip a switch overnight.

    If this worked, China would have done it already and Japan would have been using that as a leverage.

      China is doing that already, and Japan has been using it as leverage for several years.

      Bitcoin is not a real currency, and anyone suggesting it as a new standard should be mocked. It’s too clunky, too slow, and too prone to fraud and theft. The only real uses for Bitcoin are gambling, fraud, and buying drugs.
