Well put, the world bares the pressure of the US Federal Reserve printing money. The US 40T debt it carried by the world.

This is because the US Dollar has been the reserve currency of the world.

People are so unaware of how good the USA had it before Orange started ruined all our socioeconomic ties around the world. He's vastly accelerated USD not being the world reserve currency anymore. US Citizen have no clue how much that will hurt us, it's unrecoverable too. Once USD loses that status, it will never get back.

Covid really underlined this for me. When things just kept ticking after everything went down cause they printed a bunch of money. The entire game is rigged in favour of keeping that established power structure in place.

If it ever stops being the reserve currency that’s it for the US empire. It’s a wonder everyone let the US have its way for so long, at the same time insane that the US is just ignorantly throwing it away now.

This is the intent. Crash our economy, buy up big swatches of wreckage for dirt cheap, and finally push your own crypto for further grift on the desperate.

Greed. We used to think greedy people were trash, now people idolize them.

But we're not really printing money. We're borrowing money. Usually from ourselves. 80% of the debt is owned by US investors.

Nonsense. When the fed does quantitative easing without a sufficient amount of tightening a shit ton of money is put into circulation that is created out of thin air. This absolutely happened over the last decade.

It is put on a balance sheet as debt. The debt is purchased. At no point is money being created freely. The "reserves" created for banks to stabilize aren't circulated.

How does that work? How can a country be indebted to itself?

Institutional investors, banks, and regular people just buy treasuries.
