@thesilverhermit Sorry to burst your bubble but the dollar is already destroyed. Treasury will undertake short term refinancing while rates are high… in a few months, after the severe downturn begins, they will cut rates and refinance using long term issuance. This is the standard playbook
@C_Barraud They are blowing this out of proportion. Japan is going to weather the storm. They are very efficient and will figure out how to run their economy without fuel
@DonDurrett Don what do you make of this situation ? The yen carry trade looks seriously at risk and I’m worried about the whole thing unwinding with Japanese banks and pensions funds soon dumping USA treasuries
@RealRickRule We need people to live simple lives again, including the ultra wealthy. We need to return to an era where 1 car in the garage, 1 tv in the house and 1 parent working is deemed an accomplishment, and not looked down upon.
@RealRickRule Rick, he actually thinks jalopy will continue for 30 years unabated. The system is in the process of breaking down. The system we have is a Frankenstein of different ideals, and it’s bankrupt and will only get worse as the masses lose their quality of life.
@Vercovicium That’s not true. They can try to conquer parts of the world and expropriate their wealth for the benefit for the western world. This neocolonial plan has started with Venezuela and Iran and will eventually lead us to China and rest of Middle East . Stay strong
@Vercovicium Don’t worry , Hank Paulson and Jamie Dimon are working hard to create a “break the glass” emergency plan in case demand for bonds collapses. They will figure out something . They managed to come up with zirp and qe and will come up with another plan to keep things afloat
@Vercovicium Also in the late 90’s the gilts were much higher but they managed to tamp down the yields and we are almost 50% of those levels today. We have a long ways to go. Go out and enjoy the day
@Vercovicium Please don’t give up hope. The world you are forecasting would result in a cataclysmic drop in standard of living for the British. Do you really think they will just roll over and let that happen without lashing out and embarking on renewed global conquests and expropriation
