With Trump and the U.S. dissolving NATO, I would expect that in the future, oil won't be traded in dollars anymore since U.S. influence is decreasing. There is no protection incentive anymore and the U.S. market itself is becoming less accessible.
With that happening, I would think the dollar's reserve status is threatened and a debt crisis is looming. Printing money won't be a way out.
It will be a moment when people realize on whose backs the U.S. has been living.

You have crops, products that were part of a regular contract with the feds and that contract is now on the blocks and you're stuck with a crop/products surplus that you can't offload?
Dump 'em at your local Tesla dealership since Musk likes being an efficiency and govt procurement master. Let his team figure it out.
It's also fantastic visuals for media and a good opportunity to tell a story about how what happens at the fed level touches a local community.
1. Organize (secretly shhhhhh) with others. Make plans to also find a community use for some of that surplus.
2. Drop a press release.
3. Do it Live on TikTok or Insta (or YT). Or not.
4. Give an interview or two. Or not.
5. Drop a press release about that surplus product being shared with a mutual aid autonomous group/purpose.
6. Give an interview. Or not.
Keep doing it.
Just got an annual @kagihq family subscription, because I'm a believer now - even before the trial ran out.
It just proves to be totally worth it not getting search results, that need to fulfill any monetization needs either by ranking or inserting ads.
The customizations are great and the UI is really snappy!
I would only love to be able to pay via SEPA in the future to bypass the US creditcard duopoly.

That's cute... You think there is a "standard" contract.
There are entire structures and teams from the artist, through their representation team, to entire structures and teams on the Apple iTunes side that all work together to ensure weekly and monthly royalty checks are properly paid out.
It may even be so routine that even Spotify, Pandora, and other companies have found similar solutions and processes that have similar (if not identical) outcomes.
I don't enjoy discussions of intelligence or genius as intrinsics. Every time someone brings up the "Pareto Principle" I get grossed out.
It may be true that certain individuals are able to outperform others. But what are the conditions that allowed them to do so?
It does not remove someone's accomplishments to say they had help in getting there.
But a system of intentional disparity means that the majority of people get left behind. We have to sell that this is fair somehow.
@_elena sounds wonderful. I'm working through the Lego technic Earth, Moon and Sun set. It's too easy so I'm trying to drag it out.
It'd be good to see a photo of the typewriter when you're done!
