That plan sucks, and I know we can't fight China.

actually, we have mega tons of gold in our own nation we haven't even mined yet

and throw away any shred of possible peace in the world? whats plan C?

Plan C is we get on the OBOR

obor?

One Belt One Road

we wait til iran throws a nuke, then test the soil afterwards, adjust a nuke to match it and make it show up near under water gold field

i have heard of it, idk it in detail though

I measured it out, we can build bridges from alaska to russia, they won't even be as long sas some of the Chinese bridges

so then they go to war and what? we all get screwed by a screwed atmosphere? brilliant

The OBOR is pure genius,but it means the end of the petrodollar (which is dead anyway)

can't build the bridge out of concrete. it won't handle well in frozen weather

its already had a funeral and is six feet under @natxlaw

steel should do the job

btw, i think we're already producing more oil than we need, so i guess we're exchanging oil for gold now

We are going back to being a producer, which is why we need to get on the OBOR

we are, we have been producing enough oil for a while. just now we are using it

idk about the OBOR but the jobs are coming back, slowly but surely

You are not going to be able to be competitive shipping your products on boats, when 2/3 of the world can do it with Trains.

however, the economy has to correct and it wont be pretty

the trick is to produce transport that uses it effectively with little usage of it, and don't sell that tech

so we would lower our usage of the oil and get more gold

that tech should be open source

how about stop thinking in terms of having "more" of anything. more gold, more oil

But I am not buying that the collapse happens in 4 days. I have been thinking 4 days for the past 7 years.

hey, right now in my dairy state, gal of milk is almost 5 bucks, i want it to go back down to a buck of gallon

Why not just use what you need and give back what you can

ya same, it was just the grumblings from the ground @natxlaw

thats inflation sir wolf

only 2 things keeping me from drinking choco milk all day = cost of milk and i was born with a yeast infection

And the damn Chinese keep pushing the PetroYuan back

and while they wont tell you, its more than double what they say it is. and that data is a few years old

well it's time for deflation

time to bring back value to the dollar

itll come. mass inflation and then sudden deflation to almost 0 will happen

Hyperinflation and deflation go hand in hand. What you need hyperinflates, and what you got deflates.

in this economy

in this year most likely

Your milk costs 10 bucks, your used care that you need to sell to get the milk goes from 10K to 3K.

increasing wages just increases costs

the dollar is fiat, its value is what we give it
