Another point here:Yes it is, but how else are they going to deal with the inter generational wealth transfer, low productivity is already a problem, when kids inherit mum and dads $3m dollar house, work will be a dirty word.Lol
Precisely. Your generation inherited nothing, but you didn't need to. We meanwhile will inherit everything but are screwed without it.Times have changed, when Dad died I inherited his belt, which was pretty ironic, because I felt it a lot when growing up.
Mum only passed away two years ago and I inherited $12k, so it wasn't el dorado.
not the correct bunch of Lefties , they would rather sleep in than board a plane anywhereWith that being said, if you sent lefties to war you'd have a war fought by a bunch of fruitcakes with nothing more than bongs & dildo's so it's not like you'd be losing much that way anyway.
well at least my generation taught them something usefulthey've got two entire generations that will go to jail before being conscripted so they can't even use that.
Simple balkanisation into regional powers rather than the cold war usa vs russia spheres of influence/hegemony.Bit of a conspiracy theory I've made up but I'll play it here. I've been watching everything play out and the only thing I can think of is that the original one government idea was canned.
We are now breaking into economic zones where those nearest are put into control by the strongest entity. Middle East we see the Saudis/Israel with destabilisation in most of the other areas occurring.
The US is weakening Canada, Mexico, who knows how far the go into Latin America.
Europe seems to want to deal with Russia one way or another.
China is going to need SE Asia to survive and they didn't circle us for shts and giggles. Although India is also in play so haven't really thought about it enough.
Obviously random thoughts. But the powerhouses need cheap Labor nearby as population is in decline.
Covid exposed problems in the current setup.
It would possibly explain some of the madness currently going on.
I think it's just a challenge of superpowers ATM, the problems seem to always be around the US. Fighting with your closest allies just shows everyone your weakness. Trump's very dangerous because he's destabilising the world or helping it to happen.Bit of a conspiracy theory I've made up but I'll play it here.

Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia?Anyone seen anyone talking of a similar theory?

I read somewhere that up to 80% of the USA's internal commerce is generated within the USA i.e. one American buying from or selling to another American goods or services that are manufacturedm or generated in America.Divs is 10,000% on the money here.
The europeans are losing their collective minds for a reason and it's because without U.S assistance they are fcuked.
The fact of the matter is that the americans are holding almost all of the cards here and trump knows it. The only effect it's going to have on the americans is a relatively small net demand for their munitions as U.S military spending decreases will not be entirely offset by european military spending increases.
It looks like the french and brits have actually been the smartest about it - making their own hardware but ensuring it's all cross-compatible with U.S gear.
French jets can land and launch from U.S carriers and U.S jets can launch/land from french carriers for example:
In the case of britain they've just directly bought U.S hardware like black hawks, F-35's etc.
As a percentage of GDP the united states is one of the lowest trading countries in the world. And a huge percentage of what it does trade/sell to the rest of the world is just arms.I read somewhere that up to 80% of the USA's internal commerce is generated within the USA i.e. one American buying from or selling to another American goods or services that are manufacturedm or generated in America.
So the USA can quite easily withdraw from the rest of the world much easier than the ROTW can from it. Even if those figures are too high by 10-20% it still has an incredibly robust economy.
btw I've been meaning to ask, do you still think that Chronos-Plutus doubts Elon Musk has even heard of Bernoulli's principle.

Their internal commerce would be places like Walmart and Amazon, and all their intermediate materials for production come from overseas. It's going to take at least 4~5 years to get large scale manufacturing transferred to the US.I read somewhere that up to 80% of the USA's internal commerce is generated within the USA i.e. one American buying from or selling to another American goods or services that are manufacturedm or generated in America.

worse than that it forward sells them , they sign you up , take some form of deposit/security , give you some training and in a few years you finally get the product ( if you are lucky )As a percentage of GDP the united states is one of the lowest trading countries in the world. And a huge percentage of what it does trade/sell to the rest of the world is just arms.
yep , and that will be educational to watch ( even if they use a large amount of automation )Their internal commerce would be places like Walmart and Amazon, and all their intermediate materials for production come from overseas. It's going to take at least 4~5 years to get large scale manufacturing transferred to the US.
would make the black-market very compelling as a sourceAs a percentage of GDP the united states is one of the lowest trading countries in the world. And a huge percentage of what it does trade/sell to the rest of the world is just arms.
Europe putting tariffs on american arms sales would just be... oh wouldn't that be comical.
