  • Wonder how long the US economy can survive without being proped up by other countries using USD as reserve currency.

    As soon as USD no longer becomes international reserve, the US debt becomes unserviceable because countries that hold and buy US debt will no longer want debt in a relatively worthless actively devaluing currency. That will trigger complete and total economic collapse in just a few short months as the fed replaces debt with money printing and the USD becomes wallpaper.




  • I have no allegiance to the Democrats. They suck balls. However I take a practical view and recognize that I am currently stuck in a sham democracy still using FPTP voting. As an individual voter, my power lies in messaging and lobbying, while damage control is the best I can do at the ballot box for any race that’s outside of my local city/county. Following my “true conscience” at the ballot box and splitting the vote only leads to situations that we are now stuck in.

    Thank you for putting words in my mouth though, as every hardcore third party “progressive” loves to do on Lemmy.
