We always get recessions for a short period. No big deal. At all. We also already have inflation. If a little inflation is the price for continuing to service the debt, then it can be done. Like I said, the "debt problem" is not much of a problem, minor one at best.

Makes no difference. If that happens the Fed will just print.

Completely false. You should read the Bell Curve and educate yourself.

Yes it is. Which makes it so bizarre that Canada, alone among nations, has decided not to build up any gold reserves. Biggest stupidity of all time maybe.

That's stunning. You spoke Thai and still she wasn't happy. But her refusal to switch on her cam is an indication that she was not very interested to start with. In any case looks like she did you major favour. How old was she?

Yeah, his corona policies were superb for business. Great business man that Xi Jinping. Especially Shanghai doing great now.

All that Mr Adolf Hitler prophesied before his untimely demise has come to pass. The cultural and economic destruction of European countries. Jeffrey Epstein, Bernie Madoff, Sam Friedman. Just sayin'.

Witches next please!

I much prefer Batman, DC comics, of course another gift from the US to the world. You're welcome! Unspeakable riches. Not just financially, culturally too.

Think about it, you take women drivers off the road globally -immediate end to the pollution. You take women out of the work force - instant jobs for the unemployed (plus women need men again - happy relationships). It's women! Women are the problem. Or feminism to be more precise.

No, it's definitely women.

Kuta is where all the backpackers and Australians are. You want to be in Nusa Dua.

There are Australians in Bali though. Something to consider.

Yes, you are like little Gods, you know so much, you know everything. if only you could make the real world resemble what you know to be the case. But there is such a big difference.

The Trump haters are like little Gods, who think they know how the world should be, but alas, they lack the power to make it so. They try to talk the world into the state they know it should be in, but it never works. It's so sad to be one of these Trump haters.

Something does not ring true in this story. No man starts pulling a woman's hair and attacking her, just because he's had a beer. Richard is right, we need to hear the Indian man's side of the story. Most likely she cheated on him.

Drive to Chiang Mai Airport, get a flight to BKK, then Saigon, then go to Phu Quoc.

Yah, that's a steaming pile of caca de toro, unfortuantely. You see every single country in the western world is in the same position, overspending and going to the capital markets to fund its spending. However, the US is different. Unlike other countries, the US is not dependent on exports, it has its own giant domestic market. Yes, it also chooses to fund spending by using the capital markets, like any sane country would do, however, the USA is significantly richer than any of these countries. Its currency DETERMINES the value of other currencies. As you can see now, live and on TV, the US can restructure global trade at will. The economic power of the US is unparallelled in human history. Not just its economic power, of course, its military power too, if the US were so inclined it could loot and pillage any country it chooses. It just doesn't need to do so yet because its economy is so unspeakably powerful. All this nonsense of "oh the us economy can't go on", where's the evidence for it? Stock market worth 111 trillion. Real Estate worth 50 trillion. GDP 29 trillion every single year. Some homework for you, discover how rich the USA really is.

But he was questioned after he sobered up presumably? And then said he thought she cheated on him? When he was sober. Or did I misunderstand something?

So she cheated on him?

The place to go now is Phu Quoc in Vietnam. They built a dream tourist island, a la Nusa Dua, but a whole island.

There is no debt problem. The US economy is comfortably able to service the debt it has, as it creates 29 trillion USD in GDP every single year. The total market value of the US stock market is another 111 trillion USD. The total value of US real estate is another 50 trillion USD. In short, the US is so rich, nobody even knows exactly how rich it is. But it is richer than God, and easily able to service its debt.

But why? Why not just let the Japanese, Germans and the rest of the world finance the debt with IOUs? Why is it a problem now? The US economy is still creating 29 trillion USD of wealth every SINGLE year! I mean aggregate this over 20 years.

This is nonsense of course. The US economy is considerably larger than 36 trillion USD. The US creates 29 trillion USD of GDP in wealth every single year. But this figure does not account for many other existing assets of the US economy.

The reason is Germany. Germany declared its intention to rearm and warned the markets that this will entail a massive debt orgy. As a result the prices of bonds have fallen across the board as investors dump assets that have lost value. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/bonds/germany-defense-government-spending-boost-bund-yields-global-bond-selloff-2025-3
