For example, forcing your bank sector to sell off a bunch of assets that are considered “risk free”, comes with consequences.

“Risk Free” tells me your mental models havent been absorbing recent changes. A US that is attacking former friends and allies and especially itself, who abandons any pretense of law and order, of the netral functioning of predictable markets in a storm of serial extortionism and undermining their own labour pools, capital markets and central banking while going on a wild spending spree of unproductive thuggery and grift. (Pauses for breath.) You call that risk free?

Don’t be the dude left holding the bag. US dollars debt and equities are poison. Contracts aren’t legally enforceable and courts don’t practice law, just applied politics.

Get out while you can. This shithole is going to collapse quickly.

MOAR!

Atlantis was the name of one of his favourite child sex victims. He “has to have it”.

Great, now we’re going to have mutated giant cannibal ants roaming the countryside.

Honey, get me the .375 H&H Elephant gun.

I feel like I learned something, but my brain doesn’t know where to file it.

I think your fundamental error is trying to address disingenuous malicious statements with honest facts and reason.

Do they retreat? Usually they just die.

Pride before the fall.

Like a Monkey’s Paw

All true, but the rules based order did create a period of relative peace and prosperity.

Is wiping ourselves out really the solution to the world’s problems?

Is a straw man fallacy all you got? Weak. I’d rather you not bother.

Yes, but this doesn’t go far enough. The entire world no longer benefits from a strong US. As an unreliable business partner and security partner, everyone should be coordinating the disuse of American tech, abandoning dollars and disposing of debt.

Its all unbacked liabilities now. Market makers can make the numbers go up for a time to incentivise the greedy, needy and stupid, but if there has ever been a clear case of a sinking ship, it’s the US. No one is free to do business anymore. This means that US tainted assets will tank and anyone left holding the bag will be sorry. Pension funds especially. The risk vs return equation just put a singularity on the risk side. No one can afford to do business under these circumstances. Radical market interventionism breaks investment, productivity and returns.

Get out while you still can. Don’t be the last one left holding the bag.

Canada broke ranks with the U.S. on Chinese electric vehicles,” he added.

This is among the most stupid things ever said and destroyed the credibility of the speaker. The US broke rank with everyone, especially Canada and even including the US to itself.

If looking like a supplicant is undignified, Micheal should pull the US cock out of his mouth.

Edit: Michael would do well to remember it was a bullshit political US warrant for a Hwawei executive’s arrest that triggered his equally unjustified political arrest by China in retaliation.

No one trusts China. It’s just trade under realpolitik because the US is an unreliable partner and an active threat to our sovereignty.

How Orwellian in name.

Is liver meat? If so, maybe brain is too. Mostly water, fat, proteins and carbs.

What’s important is how well it is prepared. Taste comes first, service is secondary.

Can someone please explain what this is?
