Ham Cheeks posted:explain the significance for the dumb ie me A significant element of the leverage the US has over the world economy is the dollar as the cornerstone of multiple market and international exchanges. You know, on account of the US having the prerogative to print them at will Dedollarization, or people choosing to engage in transactions with other currencies, means the American empires grasp on the world is weakening by inches There will be consequences, possibly involving the US lashing out in various ways down the line

macron loves to hear himself talk. and he's still a neolib at heart, i seriously doubt this means anything. poor xi though, spending 6 hours with that tedious moron must be hell.

is there any way to know the actual strength of the output of the US, without the financialization aspect? as in, how much do we actually produce that isn’t numbers inflated on a spreadsheet. the orthodox line when I was growing up is that despite a large amount of the GDP being fictitious finance bullshit, we still have pretty substantial manufacturing output. it would be pretty hilarious if the rest of the world realizes the only thing we export is toxic culture and assault rifles.

atelier morgan posted:after being homeless for a long time (thrown out by parents multiple times) and at best working under the table i got one bottom barrel job with the state i clung to for a decade before i broke me enough i can't work anymore (well, i could work, if anywhere was willing to accept 'its a crapshoot whether she'll be able to work on any specific workday' rather than sticking to a schedule or plan and that's just not compatible with capital) i can't avoid accepting financial assistance but homelessness makes the act of doing so pathological as well This is rough as hell, I'm sorry it's like this. It makes me sick that this country is a greased waterslide for anyone in this country who deviates from any perfunctory norm. Have you looked into local food Mutual Aid groups? I do a lot of work with food security Mutual Aid in my city and there are a lot of people who really care and are doing incredible legwork to keep food in people's pantries by quickly redistributing any excess the network locates. I hope you can find something like that which might make your life a little easier! Reach out to your area DSA, I bet they'll have a Mutual Aid working group that could point you in useful directions!

australia's probably the most extreme example of a country sitting on a pile of resources (literally a continent's worth) and with a population of 26 million they're probaby among the best positioned to weather the next couple decades

Xaris posted:cars are bad but that's just not true for maybe more than >1 person. planes are expensive these days and 2 ppl in a car is still cheaper lol train and plane tickets can be cheap when properly planned which these people could as they plan their gas guzzling car trip for a year. I am not sure what part of sitting in a car bored for hours upon hours is great I mean it's torture lol. At least on a train if it takes long you can use the various amenities without ever leaving the train and I'd rather have 6 screaming infants than being in a car for dozens of hours

Xaris posted:the route 66 symbolic iconography of "hitting the open road" is also a touchstone in americana culture. it's akin to eating turkey and candied yams on thanksgiving. theres 60+ years of cultural propaganda about "freedom of the open road" and associated pop culture you get more Route 66 era America on a railine than any Freeway. Less name brand fast food so lmao fat chance

Once nobody can afford homes, fuel or cars we'll go back to the old fashioned horse drawn wagons. "Living in a wagon is awesome" - posted from my wagon covered with solar cells on the prarie.
