Ignore this at your peril: The USA is going down

Anything other than a blonde or boag's st george is like trying to drink a loaf of bread.

Still, a kg of silver is only about 500 bucks so it's not exactly a huge bet we have on.

We need the humorous posters like @frugal.rock and @barney. Take their comments with a pinch of laughter, it'll be good for the soul.

Thanks Aus. I actually really appreciate that comment (that's my chuffed look)

I know @frugal.rock has a slightly silly SOH so if anyone is taking him too seriously, please re-think

Personally, I've been off the air a bit lately for various reasons, but its great to see so many posters (new and old) participating. ASF certainly has a great blend of excellent posters. Discounting the odd kerfuffle, @Joe Blow should be proud of the community he has assembled

Have missed you @barney, was nearly about to send out the troops.

Was dismayed to hear on the ABC news that the US cop that shot the fellow human in the back, then spat on him and jumped up and down on his corpse.
Judge, jury and executioner.

One could hear a watcher in a nearby car complaining, "c'mon man, we got kids in here".
That's very distressing to me, as it implies that the parent/s were used to that kind of behaviour from cops.

Long time no see my man, great to see you keeping in touch.

Aren't we all busy, I am as busy as ever coming out of the lockdown as well. But somehow find a bit of time (let's see... holy crap it's 3am) for this wealth of knowledge and the odd bit of humor on ASF.

@Chronos-Plutus @over9k
Interesting bet.
If this helps , spent 2y in China
The change of generation :standards education is massive US is beaten flat
One thing about China is trust: do not trust their figures
Your nice age pyramid is in reality 1.5 billion..or near ,the 200m extra are undeclared kids: brothers and sisters of one child policies.young...
That will already twist your figures
Moreover China does not care about global warming BLM or metoo
All energy is focussed on growth.:
work hard harder 24/7
In my last trip to NY, i had the feeling i was in a retirement village compared to Shenzhen Shanghai or Beijing.
I do not idealise China believe me: i worked and lived there but in 10y yes China will be bigger and take over the US..buy silver now before a melt up...
The only reason it may not is controlling the yuan so that dollar is inflated higher artificially for your gdp figures.
Chine imho will take number one position by 2030 but i think it will just stay there for 1 generation as with CCP it is unsustainable.
In the meantime, it will crush the West which is what the West wants anyway.

Very informative info from your travels qldfrog.
