Republicans will kick up a stink and there will be a whole bunch of hullabaloo and then those in power will just do what they were always going to do anyway and raise it.Any chance of a US debt ceiling rundown with timeframe involved in real simpletons language @over9k ?
Would be much obliged to get my head around that issue. Cheers.
I just hope I live long enough and I have enough precious metals, food supply and ammo (lol, not likely), to see what happens if they lose reserve currency status... or even if the debt market blows the f*** up (likely at some point)Republicans will kick up a stink and there will be a whole bunch of hullabaloo and then those in power will just do what they were always going to do anyway and raise it.
Even all that tea party bullsh!t back in 2010 didn't stop them so there sure isn't anything that will this time around.
The yanks haven't balanced the budget for a generation, they sure aren't going to start now.
Won't happen. The really depressing thing is that the rest of the world is in an even direr financial situation than the united states is.I just hope I live long enough and I have enough precious metals, food supply and ammo (lol, not likely), to see what happens if they lose reserve currency status... or even if the debt market blows the f*** up (likely at some point)
It will be interesting, even if the view is from cloud nine
I'd want to be pretty confident I knew something about the future political situation that everyone else don't.I don't do currency trading, but I reckon there's a trade in Lebanese currency, whatever that is.
Political situation has improved and instantly resulted in a ~10% improvement in the value of their currency. FWIW
most will have probably died waiting ( for all the restrictions to be lifted )When everything is opened up again, concerts pubs sports are the place to be I wonder what will happen to all the city folk that fled to the country. Will they suddenly feel empty and secluded and rush back to the city?
Things like that are back up and running in the UK so the figures from London would be somewhat telling I'd expect.When everything is opened up again, concerts pubs sports are the place to be I wonder what will happen to all the city folk that fled to the country.

My BIL is a State manager of a multinational company, he has only been into the office a handful of time since the pandemic began, also a nephew is an IT programmer for a major mining company, same deal he hasn't been to the office at all since the start of lockdowns.Things like that are back up and running in the UK so the figures from London would be somewhat telling I'd expect.
Doubtful, I know a lot of people of my generation/age group (I'm 31) that left the major cities and moved to the secondary cities like wollongong, geelong, newcastle, sunshine coast, albury/wodonga etc etc. One couple even moved to cairns.When everything is opened up again, concerts pubs sports are the place to be I wonder what will happen to all the city folk that fled to the country.

What's not to like about the country?When everything is opened up again, concerts pubs sports are the place to be I wonder what will happen to all the city folk that fled to the country. Will they suddenly feel empty and secluded and rush back to the city?
the nags are to pull the tractor out when it gets bogged ( but you might need a winch as well, they are only two horsepower after all )What's not to like about the country?
Tank water, praying for rain all the time, a couple of useless nags in the paddock that you never ride... Plus a small herd of sheep of which the ram always wants to headbutt you in the nuts...
Weekends spraying weeds, fixing fencing, trying to rank all that damned heifer that keeps breaking into your paddock...
Chopping firewood, then 6 months later freaking out about the massive fire heading for your home... No gorgonzola piccante in the local Coles.
Trying to get rid of the three dozen extra eggs per week you accumulate from your chooks.... and everybody you know also has 3 dozen extra eggs per week... And everybody is just so sick of eggs.
Guinness only by special order from the local Bottle-O... and nowhere within 200 km to service the Lambo.
But...
You can hear the birds twittering, you know your neighbours, even though you can't see them and they can't see you walking around in he nuddie and the most complicated decision you usually have to make is which spray is going to knock off the Patterson's Curse.
It's nice to be close enough to the city to visit, but it's nicer to go home to the bush. Life is real there.
FWIW
