    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.

    Please link to them so I can know

        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.

                  I did. You ignored it. That’s why I am doing this alternate approach.

                  I actually specifically addressed the characterization of what I said as “Orange man bad,” by way of a contrasting example with some pro-Trump stuff I would agree with.

                  If you’re not really able to read and comprehend, or get offended at the suggestion that it might be important that you do so, then I think I don’t care what your opinion is on these economic theories or these world events. It might be filtered through whatever conceptual blinkers are making it so hard for you to comprehend what I am saying here and causing you to default back to just repeating what you wanted to say.

                    uh-huh uh-huh, now get to the point

                    What was your criticism of connecting this particular economic framework to current world events in the real world?
