Even US military policy and the reserve currency is designed to exploit emerging markets. The reason the US can print so much money every year to fund all its programs is because other countries are required to trade in USD so will buy it even though its being inflated so much, and if they decide to trade in something like gold dinars they get overthrown.

There’d thundermail coming out soon, which will probably have mullvad included. This also funds firefox too which is nice.
Deflationary currency, where they have to give you specific demotion in pay to stay at the same purchasing power. Also housing appreciation needs to be readded to the CPI so that it raises interest rates when it gets too high.

I see the housing bubbles all over the world and am glad I wasn’t born 10 years later. I’m also screwed for not being born 10 years earlier.

That's a dangerous myth.1·2 days agoIn 2018, due to regulatory and political uncertainties surrounding the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, Kinder Morgan decided to suspend all non-essential spending on the project. To ensure its completion, the Canadian government agreed to purchase Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain assets, including the pipeline and terminal facilities, for C$4.5 billion. This acquisition led to the establishment of the Trans Mountain Corporation, a federal Crown corporation responsible for the pipeline’s operation and the expansion project.
