@sidprabhu Honestly never really considered the first part of this. Like the US could just lend dollars to the world and be scooping an interest -transaction- fee. Yet because of the bailouts, and honestly that plus the über consumerist culture in America no one saves and moneys printed?
@quantymacro So, from a half retarded place, the first mm system I build wasn’t always fast enough…so I’d just base my orders off whoever was top of the book until I tuned things properly.
@sidprabhu This is exactly how I feel. The US is on an unsustainable path and taking away the punch bowl before the party ends (or more aptly, slides into chaos) was never going to be well received. That said, finesse is required. The current approach risks being worse than the sickness.
@sacredrobe@APHClarkson I don’t see 50% tariffs anywhere and 20% on Chinese goods is a net win for the American economy. Tariffs are a pseudo currency devaluation such that in the medium to long term, domestic production increases and things stabilize.
