WWII did it more than anything......the "free" world borrowed dollars.....then crude was settled in dollars.....all combined with as you said above we became the biggest consumer/strongest economy.
I don't now that it will be the Yuan....the Yuan is certainly in the drivers seat.....I think...
All of that is true and this isn't a statement of support of current policy but you guys are ignoring the real source of our economic power.....the world trades in dollars. We are the biggest consumer and will be for some time as our poor folks consume like the top half of the population you...
Welcome back. First post in this thread for a couple of months.
So how do you think this whole peace in the Ukraine is going about now?
Not much has changed in the actual situation as far as fighting. Russia has a military that is superior in every way and nuclear weapons. Ukraine cannot win...
OPEC helping out ending this war as much as anyone these days.......60+% of Russian revenue is from fuels. Squash that and this stalemate gets tougher. There is a flip side that it makes them more desperate and thus more likely to use more advanced weapons but at least Europe won't be funding...
It’s the biggest miss in the green movement and should be being used both in large scale 2+ GW installations and modular tech. The best grid would be large base load nuke, modular nuke and combined cycle gas chasing fluctuations in daily/seasonal peak demand, and simple cycle gas/liquid fuel...
The answer is always money. Transmission is extremely expensive. You have large land purchases and have to cover 100s/1000s of miles with expensive equipment. Very expensive specialized construction and maintenance. When I make most of these posts I’ll usually make a statement like “you’re...
So based on what I know.....that's a big disclaimer because they are aren't close to root cause on this......
"Unusual atmospheric and meteorological phenomena" sounds weak. That is no way shape or form an accusation of shenanigans but at this point in 2025 we have a pretty good idea about the...
The brands change faster than the trailers!!! The are Betz/GE/Ecolochem/MPW/AMPAC till they aren’t!!!!
Name on the contract changes faster than trailers get painted.
Re-use and desalination of water will be part of the future and should have been being done for decades. It's also easy and cheap.
There are semi trailers that can pulled on site plugged up with a couple of hoses and a power source and crank out ultra pure water.....I'm not talking drinking...
But again it's the marketing...... I'm not arguing for or against Trans Day of Visibility.
You can have Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter and full on upset a huge swath of America, and make another huge swath of America go "ooof that was stupid". Or make maybe at most 5-10% of the...
When is it ok to take the picture with her top open at the White House?
One pic someone sitting at a table doing Easter things…..one pic someone holding their tits outside the White House. I’d bet the under at 10% of folks who think that is in good taste.
Guess which one wins elections…...
Hey Democrats it’s the marketing!!!! Most Americans aren’t that far apart on the border…..most folks don’t want mass deportation or crossings. Keep it sane. That’s all you have to do. We need immigration reform for real but you don’t even have to that…but you have to win to get a chance at...
