Sadly a lot of people can't think for themselves. If a problem is coming they wait for the government to tell them what needs to be done rather than come to a conclusion on their own.

Seriously, everyone should have one of these:

1. A garden where they can produce enough food to eat well and feed others if need be.
2. A generator for your own electricity. (Wind turbines are nice and simple to make.)
3. A well. You can use a dowsing rod to find one or pay someone to find one for you. (Tap into it, straight pipe all the way down with a hand pump attached. Cleaner than you think.)

When you become self-sufficient and no longer need to rely on services you thought you had to pay for, you'll realize how many "problems" are easily solved.

Well, no, i think you're not so in danger. I mean...you mean when jougoslavia was conquered by usa-europe and splitted in two or more states (so my risiko map was fucked up) and all that story about oil, war, religious stuff and fake governments, right? XD

I don't see how it could happen.

Yugoslavia's dollar value went down so low, that billions of their dollars, were worth one or two euro's.

All of this happened beause they printed money. America is also printing money.

Lower the money make grow the Exportation and low the Importation. In fact, exporte mean Sell and Import mean Buy.

Lower the money is a tactic to grow the commerce economy to fight the freeze of the market and estabilish an average economy in the country.


Actually i don't know nothing about create new money, anyway, so i can't understand why they are doing so. The only thing i know is that lower the money value is, imho, a smart tactic if you are a big productive country in the world and have a big part of the world with high prices in exporting.

Sort of like China world exporting at low cost.


EDIT:
Oh lol. To lower the money value you have to print more money.
..Right...rotfl.

Yugoslavia had a thousand and one other problems that caused their entire economy to collapse. The US has their problems, and things could go belly up at any time, but I don't see it happening in my lifetime (short of a true global disaster). And I'm the one that is normally talking doom and gloom around friends and family.

I don't know much about economics myself but from what I understand part of the value of a currency is in how much there is of it. If you keep printing more money it basically lowers the value to nothing. I bet Burgingham would know more about something like this, or Jorb. They're very worldly when it comes to this sort of thing.

That's the only reason I can come up with why those kids "go to sleep hungry" in USA.


You understand very little about the US then. Their income distribution is swiftly getting worse and worse. Even though the country has money, it's becoming more and more concentrated in the hands of the ultra rich. Furthermore, jobs for the lower and middle class citizens are drying up and disappearing.

And it has nothing to do with people being "lazy" or "disabled".
