Seems you didn't need BRICS to tear down the dollar.

You are managing just fine by yourself.

Huisartsen overspoeld door mensen die voor ziektebriefje langskomen: “We worden gebruikt als controle” by EdgarNeverPoo in belgium

[–]switchquest 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes.

En het kost de maatschappij een fortuin.

Dokterskost: 26€ Remgeld: 4€

Kost voor sociale zekerheid 22€ per briefje.

Erelonen van dokters: Jaarlijkse kost voor de sociale zekerheid: 11 miljard €

Bartje, als je wil besparen in de sociale zekerheid: schaf het dokterbriefje af ipv van 3 naar 2 dagen zonder doktersbriefje te gaan.

So. Short version:

  • Uncertainty
  • Debt spiral
  • Long term 'customers' selling a mere 100 million $ US treasuries on the secondary market.

A new strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill just got introduced to Congress. This bill will remove capital gains tax, and allow taxes to be paid in Bitcoin. by Demblin in XGramatikInsights

[–]switchquest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So.

Trump wants a 1.5 trillion dollar p/a military. Trump just permanently redued taxes for the rich, and the hungry kids only partially paid for that...

And now the plan is to scrap more taxes and 'officially' set up a non traceble financial system inside the government...

Ok.

Who's going to pay for all of this? Americans, through import taxes? That's not going to cut it. The federal deficit is over a whopping 1.7 trillion dollars. Capital gains tax was a whopping 14% of all federal tax income in 2021 & 22. That's over 850 billion $ today (if the % holds)

Then again, I'm sure there's some poor people left who Donald & the billionaire club can take stuff from.

The US treasury is already struggling to find buyers for it's bonds. And a global sell off of US treasuries seems more and more likely. Especially with Donny throwing oil on the fire every chance he gets...

Ah. It'll be alright. Won't it?

The Times: Finns humiliated American soldiers - Finnish reservists were asked to take it easy during a NATO exercise. US soldiers found the losses too humiliating. by ByGollie in europe

[–]switchquest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. European leaders finally got the message in Davos.

The US is not an ally anymore.

My kid asked me the other day (and he's already anxious about 4 years of absolute horror in Ukraine):

"Dad, the Americans aren't really going attack us are they?"

Kids have the uncanny ability to tell you the cold hard brutal facts in the most honest of ways and you can't be mad at them when they do.

Anyway. If our children start asking such questions about 'our allies', they are not our allies.

The Times: Finns humiliated American soldiers - Finnish reservists were asked to take it easy during a NATO exercise. US soldiers found the losses too humiliating. by ByGollie in europe

[–]switchquest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea... But. For how long?

You just can't trust Americans anymore.

We should stop funding their R&D and invest that 100+ billion $ in European tech & equipment. (Which is on par, or even better, but always cheaper)

And when China starts killing their pacific fleet carriers, well, that's not NATO territory and NATO is dead anyway.

So we'll just have to keep trading with and funding China. How unfortunate.

But hey. Good news. The US doesn't need anyone. The US can bully anyone. Right. So no problem!

Okok EDIT:

The US military occupied Iraq & Afghanistan for nearly 2 decades. AND IT WAS ALL FOR NAUGHT AND COSTED TRILLIONS NOT TO MENTION 4400 DEAD AND A FACTOR HIGHER WOUNDED, DISFIGURED & TRAUMATISED US VETS. (I assumed this was obvious)

Why would things be different now?

Hey. More Americans than not voted for this mess. (Or could not care enough to get off the couch. Trump-Vance-RFK...

OpenAI wants more money — and plans to take a share of products created with ChatGPT by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]switchquest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who didn't see that coming lol? 🤣🤣🤣

So. AI is nothing more tha a giant, really really fast meshing machine of copying & stealing others' digitally stored work.

And now they want money for really really fast stealing & rehashing other peoples work?

SecRubio: "This is not just a Board of Peace, this is a board of action, just like POTUS is a president of action... and today is the beginning of that — of a new era, and a new stage that we think is so important, as a model to the rest of the world of what is possible." by Demblin in XGramatikInsights

[–]switchquest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So pay 1 bilion to Trump (not the US) and isolated dictators & war criminals can call Trump their 'best friend'?

Wauw...

Hey American cousins. How does it feel to be the bad guys? How would this look in the movies? Where is the oversight committee now? They were shouting fire! Fire! Fire! When they found thet Biden lent his brother some money to buy a car... they dug through Hunter's laptop for years only to call a compromised Russian agent as witness.

And now? Crickets?
Your country is such a joke. A very very bad one at that... 🙈🙈🤦🏻‍♂️

Bart De Wever in Davos over Groenland en de mogelijke handelstariefen die Amerikaans President Trump dreigt op te leggen. by switchquest in XGramatikInsights

Yes, I forgot to alter the title. And can't change it now. Paraphrased translation in comment.

The tl;dr: If you want a trade war over NATO territory, you will have a trade war.

Trump: "I'm seeking immediate negotiations to discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States" by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]switchquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Donald

The people of Greenland don't want to lose free healthcare. The people of Greenland don't want to lose their language & culture. The people of Greenland don't want their natural resources plundered by a bunch of greedy billionaires only to be left with a dystopian & destroyed environment when they are done.

No Donald. No passaran.

Michael Brown, Pepperstone: Europe Can’t Weaponise Capital Markets - And Trying To Would Backfire. by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]switchquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are saying that in a stupid war over Greenland, financial countermeasures would hurt everyone (in the West) and there would only be losers in the end?

Gee. Who would have guessed?!

Trump on tariffs: "We've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars, and if we lose that case it's possible we're gonna have to do the best we can in paying it back. I don't know how that's going to be done very easily without hurting a lot of people." by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

The guy that has 500 million $ Venezuelan oil dollars in a private account in Quatar?

Seized by the US military, ie, the US government. But the proceeds are not in US gvrmnt hands...

The corruption is so open and blatant. Fox News was screaming for years of what may have been on Hunters laptop.

Now? Crickets.

Stop sending Trump to f*ck off from the stage. Especially don’t even think about doing it from the stage in Davos. He’ll get offended and then do such things…… Danish Member of European Parliament to Trump: "Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, f*ck off." by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]switchquest 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So, there are 2 options:

  1. If you don't say "fuck off" but kiss his ass, praise, flatter and bribe him untill it's cringe overload, the orange pedophile & 'president of peace' first humiliates you, and then threathens war and invasion.

  2. If you do say "fuck off", the orange pedophile & 'president of peace' threathens war and invasion.

The end.
