      The point that I am making is that it feels like you’re not bothering to read anything I am writing, and just repeating over and over again that this is a coherent plan by some particular people (which, sure it is) and explaining how the plan works.

      I do understand how the currency devaluation plan works. I actually led off quite a while ago by explaining it, more or less the same way you had. I’m wondering if you know what my explanation was, and what my main criticisms were of applying that theory to the current world situation. I feel like you don’t, and this is one of those conversations where you just repeat your side over and over again until the other person gives up and goes away.

      So tell me: What are my main criticisms? In your own words? I don’t want to give you a link to the exact comment, I feel like that would take away the opportunity for enrichment by finding them and reading them and going through the exercise of stating what it is that you think they say.

            summarize for me: What is my main argument in both fronts?

            Yes boss! Lol

            • Defaulting on treasury bills is bad

            • lack of domestic manufacturing capacity

            • “the history of where global capital chooses to site factories argues strongly against them moving them back to the US even with a cheaper dollar.” – I don’t know if that counts as a separate point, it’s a bit vague for me

            You could also mention accelerated de-dollarisation, a recession shrinking purchasing power, and the danger that the ruling clique will lose political power/backing halfway through the plan.

              Sounds good. What was my criticism of applying this particular theoretical framework to what’s going to happen in reality now? Separate from whether the framework is accurate?

              I’m not trying to be a dick in asking you this type of question, but I’ve repeated myself a bunch of times on it now. You don’t have to agree with it, I’m just curious what you think my main criticisms are.

                Orange man bad? That’s what’s been taking up the bulk of your word-count.

                  Nope. Want to try again?

                  I actually listed a few different examples and supporting arguments, some sarcastically and some not.
