USA of USA of US of A - surreal watching a train wreck - Oldunn warned us

[Nefertiti]

Yues has been a shithole third worlder with a Gucci belt, just that Trump derangement syndrome has made specks clear off for many who thought Unabomber Manifesto was only for Luiggi Mangioneses.

The 3% have been feasting on the whole world 7+ billion people work- now the diet is becoming only Yues residents as other elites see through the evils and nationalize them.

Absolutely. Dollar hegemony - or the exorbitant privilege of global reserve currency - is what has propped up the US for so long. Cheap capital, not any magical production or innovation prowess. We lose that and it's game over. The Bretton masterstroke is a blip in history near-impossible to replicate. Trump despite the MAGA delusions gets it and has quickly punked out of the tariffs after T-Bond yields shot up. Simple: tax the rich or crash the poor with welfare cuts, the rest of the world will not pay for it.

Here is the report card so far:

Because of the dollar, US is the economic centre of gravity. Talent, innovation, etc follow the money.

Check the Nobel prizes: they are 1:1 global GDP ranking. Chinese laureates for instance have risen in tandem to her fortunes and so has the US slid down.

It's not a theory, it's well documented. Bretton agreement in the 1940s tilted the capital flow towards the US. Gold standard drop 1972, petrodollar deal, such significant events moved the needle. Obviously there are other structs the US has put in place - the mega military, stellar schools, VCs, etc - but pop the dollar and it's dominos.

Kenya or Africa is not going to be first world soon contrary to people like RV Pundit's delusions. All you get is crumbs. These are foreign affairs.

The US elephant is entrenched oligarchy which makes it hard to fix inequality and snowballing debt. Second erosion of dollar, competition and globalization... it's a multiplicity of factors.

Like I said, the Bretton masterstroke is near-impossible to replicate. MAGA or tariff war is a tantrum not a solution.

America was built by 200 years of free African labor, and then, from 1900, immigrants from Europe started flocking in by the 1960s, green cards and all forms of immigration started flowing, and slowly, started building the empire. In America, 70% of mom-and-pop businesses that employ less than 25 people are what keep people employed and taxed. Big corporations account for barely 25%, while the rest is Government. If you undermine immigration, which is primarily a source of cheap labor, you also undermine the USA. There is nothing special about the USA! H1B visas is responsible for a lot of patents and ingenuity that have changed the world. Trump seems to understand the impact of H1B visas because data shows that his administration's deportation rates are comparable to Biden's. This change occurred as the economy began to suffer, prompting a reduction in deportations.
 Another thing sustaining America, local counties, and states are fines, bonds, court fees, traffic citations, taxes, bonds, and outright scams targeted largely to immigrants, minorities, the elderly, and the weak in society.  Police are used to make a killing in small towns from speeding tickets, bonds, jail fees, you name it. If you shut down police in most US cities and counties, the whole thing will collapse. You think Kenyan police is corrupt; US police are 100x more corrupt, but it is done in a way that most Americans will not suspect. Before the widespread use of body cameras, allegations surfaced that some officers were planting drugs on black men for cities and counties to profit from jail bonds, citations, and court fees. They are all connected, from streets to courts and judges running the biggest racket in the world. In the 70s, 80s, and 90s they were exclusively targeting black folk, but now they are targeting all people, but still Black people the most, to fund the cities.

If you are a frequent traveler in the US, do a lot of research before hitting the roads across state lines. There are small towns where Black drivers have a 90% chance of being ticketed for minor violations. And in most cases, the officers write 'Must appear" on citations, meaning you have to go to court on that day (Even if it happened in Reno, Nevada, and your home is Newport News, Virginia-You will have to go to court), and if you fail, an arrest warrant or fee increase of 348%. If you hire a local attorney, it will cost you $1000, and usually the attorney is local and in cahoots with the district judge and the whole network. You will always part with 2000 if you go that route. These are small things most people who are new or uninformed don't know about the US. If you are 18-40 as black man you are the target. when you get older, they target you less because they assume you know the scam! Arkansas right now is the worst state!

Yes dollar, slavery, immigration, freedom dividend are the serious levers that propped US.

It is [near] impossible to replicate these contours of history. Once expired or competed away they are gone forever.

If you worry so much about racism try listen to the MAGA "white genocide" cry babies... and they call progressives professional victims! Generally today there is more freedoms, rights, etc than yesteryears. Trump and his fascists are obviously no match for the slave owners. Even my pet peeve Gaza is child's play compared to past horrors.

US was just doing fine - they work the longest and the hardest - for advanced nations - by the crazy south asians (japanase, koreans, chinese) - and their hardwork & work ethic - generated wealth.

The problem trump is destroying everything that has been working - services led economy - for manufacturing jobs for his rednecks base.Redneck will not compete with Bangladesh will to earn 50 dollars per month - something US citizen get in 2hrs.

Manufacturing is gone forever - except maybe transition to Switzerland or Germnay kind of high precision high quality stuff.

Beside manufacturing is overrated - US imports 600B from china - and turn it to 2T - by time consume buys - by creating the value chain from transport, trade, retail and wholesaling.

Europe 400B luxury brand market - they probably spend 2B dollars in China factories - the rest of value is advertizing and brand building in Europe - and stores - retail and trade.

Trump is a fool who is now destroying service industry for manufacturing.

Tourism has crashed due to NAZI fascist immigration policies of shipping people to EL Salvador and Rwanda without due process.

Wall street is crashing - a money printing machine - where wiz kids use financial engineering to create a global capital beheemoth - financing US companies.

Then final act - you kill international trade - embargo yourself globally - and become island of hopelessness.

US has no allies now - Europe their forever reliable allies do not want anything Trump - Africa and global south are gutted by USAID 40B cuts - Asians the factory of world justifiably angry with Trump. South America are getting deported and arrested in thousands. The middle east and islam world are horrified by Isreal killing 50,000 palestians - with 100% of US - turning GAZA into a watefront of hotels on top of 50,000 dead people skulls.

Now he has Russia, Niger, North Korea and horrible countries as allies

You are right about most things, but Europe and America are connected fully by racism. Trump's first order was to ensure 100% of white countries, mostly in Europe, can come to America without restrictions. For now, Europe is playing tough because China has the upper hand in trade/manufacturing, but in short order, Europe and America are Siamese twins. If Europe can find a way to get cheap labor elsewhere, they will abandon China quickly. I think white supremacists still operate in the old world order, where they think they can continue manipulating the world. I think in the last 30 years, a lot of countries, especially china have risen to a point where the old western system driven by racism, capitalism, and the military-industrial complex cannot manage. In the next 5-20 years, Africa will have to break away, too, or will likely face another 100 years of domination again. I see the US spreading lies already about Captain Ibrahim Traore while planning the coup because Europe and America have seen a drop in minerals from that small region. 2025 is the year of change or bust!

Yes White are terrified of Asian - China man overtaking them. They know it over. They wanted to stop it. Europe dont like Trump - not the US. They disagree with him violently on RUssia-Ukraine. They see Russia as China proxy. They also dont like Musk moving around funding right wing parties.

So for me this EU-US tiff will only last 4yrs of Trump - then relation will be reset - and they will try to united against Chinese.
