     @Jonaschuzzlewit@nicecrew.digital this isn't true. i googled it for you, https://www.quora.com/How-much-money-is-owed-to-the-United-States-by-other-countries-If-this-money-were-collected-by-the-U-S-what-would-the-U-S-debt-be-then is a good explanation and https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/FM.AST.NFRG.CN?locations=US is what you want to look for. we're net positive right now. we are not anywhere close to being "propped up"

     Yes. I stand corrected. The dollar is sound people. Back to investing in Wall Street.
     
     My 401 has definitely done well, groceries are affordable and we can definitely pay off 31 trillion in debt.
     
     Houses are cheaper everything is peachy I had no idea what I was thinking.
     
     Why oh why didn't I just think to Google it.

     @Jonaschuzzlewit@nicecrew.digital bro literally read. we are net positive on our international assets even though we lend out money internationally to almost everyone because we are the best financially. even after all the money printer bullshit, everyone loves the dollar. this is SEPARATE than the money printers taxing everyone by printing money in addition to government spending. yes this directly fucking over me and you but the government "debt" is not causing this, it's government spending. whether the spending is backed by debt or with tax money DOESN'T MATTER. it will fuck over you and me both equally.

     @Jonaschuzzlewit@nicecrew.digital it won't happen but it literally doesn't fucking matter. just keep your own finances in check. work out regularly. train with firearms. build career capital by developing rare and valuable skills, bonus if it's actually valuable and not just rewarded by the market currently. build relationships in your local community and for the love of god stop listening to politicians and start listening to people in the community for what is and isn't a problem. if you can't fix it directly then you can work with local people to pressure local organizations, bigger orgs, and then when all else fails finally national interest groups like the FRC for guns, EFF for tech (although they've fallen off), ACLU (rip), etc and your lovely local and national politicians. but like worrying about the national debt or trade deficits unless it's literally your job to give financial advice to uber rich bullshit people so they can rape the working class 3% harder during pullbacks than they otherwise would then stop worrying and focus on other things.

     What about when the dollar is no longer used globally. I believe that will arrive soon

     @Jonaschuzzlewit@nicecrew.digital nah i mean the fact that us politicians have decided to take a fat shit on the middle and lower class by printing so much money through PPP loans should be more of glaring issue than it is, but i also get pretty pissed at people who have to constantly parrot fake bullshit from politicians or giant media companies (remember when they were going to take your gas stove? don't worry about how I'm using constantly using state tax money to do whatever culture war issue of the week in order to lead up to my failed campaign run. it hurts slightly less when i sit on the country club lounge and am still filthy rich because of your tax money - not just desantis but literally like so many politicians, media companies are just slightly more indirect about getting the fat stacks) when there are real issues everywhere but instead we have to make up fake communists trying to take our gas stoves or whatever else is happening of the week because that's not enough idk man

     Ok man. That reframes it in a way I can definitely agree with.
     
     I apologize for being a bit flippant about my response. I am just pretty sure shit is going to fail but your advice is sound. Ty for your well thought out answer
