It is because this economic down turn was artificial. Normally when markets crash it is due to issues outside of our control, this time we did it all to ourselves so it is no surprise it recovers very fast.

Wow! I disagree with one point of the article- that it is the death of Capitalism. It looks more like this is removing government devastation of the free market, meaning it is pushing us back into Capitalism.

Lord_Nekro 24 points ago +25 / -1

That's a quote from someone else, not the writer of the article

according to Forbes. “What we’re witnessing here is nothing less than the death of capitalism and birth of something new,” said Mati Greenspan, the founder of analysis and advisory firm Quantum Economics. “It’s quite fascinating, really.”

The writer questions that and concludes with this

"If the Federal Reserve owns more than 15% of America’s debt, it can play it safe and exit at any time, but if they owned, let’s say 50%, their decision to keep this bad investment comes into play. Owning half of the largest economy’s debt may force the Federal Reserve to either declare bankruptcy or ask to be bought out. Or, they may be forced to stop playing games with our politics and pull out their paid opposition. Either way, it’s good for Americans. And the real reason we are seeing crisis after crisis is that fact that Trump has been taking the power away from the elite for the past 3 years. The moment they shut down our economy, Trump backfired with this unprecedented move. Now you know why he was investigated, impeached, pandemic’d, rioted and possibly civil war’d. All for power."

Good luck finding one that doesn't eventually trail back to a Bloomburg article trying to slander the Trump Administration's support of the first virus stimulus bill. There are a ton of people around there which where really happy to take quotes from that article out of context to support their rabid belief that Trump is on the edge of ending the Fed

That's because they are perceived to be right either way by preaching doom and gloom. If things get worse, then they go "see i told you so"; if things get better, than they can claim the credit for saving you from that doom and gloom.

If the foreign capital is US dollars that aren't normally in circulation in the US because they're being used for trade elsewhere that's not really a good thing for the dollar here.

That just means we printed more dollars and now we have more normally foreign US dollars here at the same time.

2
ukr567 2 points ago +2 / -0

Inflation will come. You can not print this much money while large chunk of the economy is not functioning and expect anything else. Degree is the question. If the free cash stops some time soon bump in inflation should be manageable over a period of few years. If this keeps going and going the payback/hangover will be nasty.

This applies not just to US but Europe, Japan etc. Nobody knows what exactly going on inside PRC as their numbers can not be trusted.

It will happen, sure, but it has been happening for decades. (notice how a million used to be a lot, and now we speak of trillionaires?)

Don’t worry about the amount exactly. It sounds like a lot, but remember, the dollar is devalued all the time. In fact you have to continuously create more debt in order to be able to service old debts. People worried about the national debt don’t understand the financial system well. (I don’t either, I only know better than that)

The debt is growing all the time, but the value of the dollar doesn’t remain constant, so 1 trillion today is not the same as it would be in the year 1990.

Aside from that, the reality is that the dollar is a global currency and is relied upon by far more countries than just the US for trade.

Without inflation, not only would the US be very uncompetitive in trade with the rest of the world (who are also inflating), but other countries would collapse as they would be unable to service their debt. (a rising dollar, when your debts are denominated in dollars, means your obligations just grow and grow)

Think of it this way, until the system fails and you replace it with gold or Bitcoin, or something of a deflationary nature, preventing inflation from happening will kill your economy and implode the third world. (remember, the US dollar as the reserve currency is exceptional)

You are thinking in the wrong direction. Investment in Space so that we can mine the Septillions of tons of material on the moon(6% Titanium and 8% Aluminum if I remember correctly) could solve the issue as well. That is not counting on the asteroids which have rarer metals and can be more centralized in mining.

$8 Trillion-$12 Trillion is all it will cost over a 50 year period at the longest. If we build Multiple Mass Drivers specifically only for cargo then we can speed that process up to 10-15 years. 20 tons/daily for one, and if we have 5-10 that is 100-200 tons a day. This is the lowest yield amount since it can be estimated that 20 129 Kg per minute can be done depending on power input and designing. 1 ton is about 907 Kg roughly.

Each Cargo Mass Driver and its related power sources could be $120 Billion a piece. Man power for all could be around $1.5 Trillion. The extra Trillions of dollars are buffers. The next step is building a Hybrid with a space version of a 747 which should cost around $400 Billion, and it should be able to carry 100 people or at least 60.

Building a space Dock in space is the next step which as using the method above can be done in 1 year. 50 times the ISS size with struts spanding so that space ships can be built(thicker ones to build the next space station being 200 times the ISS in the L5 point area using another Space structure like the space dock), and cargo holds(100 feet length by 5 feet diameter)[built in space using the materials shoot up to them] only to hold materials and have 2-4 space ships tug it out there and building a small Mass Driver in the higher orbit of the Van Allen belts to basically shoot the material over to the L5 space station Catcher Net(4000 feet in diameter using mainly wires with hole width being 3 inches in diameter).

The $8 T - $12 T is actually almost double if not Triple the amount needed for a 20-40 year operation. If wanting 40-120 year operation that is the amount that would be needed. the length should be around 2-5 miles at a 60 degree incline with about 2-3 miles being underground and the last parts being up the side of a mountain. There should be around 1200 G of acceleration by the end of it. I would say this can go much longer around 30 miles at a 38 degree slope incline with the same acceleration just going a bit higher in the Atmosphere with the anchor point being the mountain and 2 miles underground so 3 Miles while the rest has to be an active structure. 12 Gw with 4 Gw total capacitor worth is more than enough to satisfy the energy requirements. 100 sm-TMSRs(small modular- Thorium Molten 'Salts' Reactor) of 400 MW should be more than enough to provide several functions with constant power supply, power generation to sell, redundancy on top of the Safety features of the MSRs, and the excessive amount would allow them to have low-medium Stress loads so the overall Lifetime of the structure would be even longer.

That is just my view anyways. The total end part of the money generated by the 20 year mark should be $2 Trillion-$4 Trillion every year and growing after a Mass Driver is built on the moon. That would be around the 15-21 year mark after start of the project. Even then Power Generation can start as early as the 8 year mark of the first Space Habitat. If properly made in size and material could generate 5 Gw per solar Satellite.

Bitcoin hash power is all centralized to two mining pools in China. All it takes is some collusion to butt fuck the "crypto dream" retards. Sure, they can make a fork, but all the cheap hash power is only made possible in state sponsored Chyna.

I know gold is the long term investment to make, but I just don't understand why.

If things get bad enough that I need to utilize the gold, who is going to give me anything for it or who can afford to give me anything for it?

Maybe I'm being unwise and overly skeptical for not having any, but I just don't understand why gold would help me out when everyone else is not doing well either.

Am I missing something super simple?

Interesting times ahead. US debt is soaring. Lots of monies to the usual "too big to fail" mob. To my understanding, the Fed is largely not in Trump's control, and if the USD spirals due to inflation, that will also be out of Trump's control.

How exactly would that happen? How the 1929 great depression happened isn't going to happen, we know how to stop it, and there are many retail investors who would buy stocks if they drop massively.
