Currency Crisis in the US

[JackOfHearts]

Where did you move to? I’m actually thinking of moving out (been thinking about it for a long time).  I don’t know if I’ll get the chance I don’t think I have enough time to save.

Actually started living and working in China for now. Its really not bad like everyone in the US of certain persuasions complain about. I'm in the US right now at the moment but will be renewing my contract with my job in China and renewing my passport this summer most likely. If I can get that done then I won't need to come back to the US any time soon while all this stuff is going on. Its true that China will still be hurt if the US economy has a meltdown but they will get by after an adjustment period like everyone else. They already have plans for their belt and road initiative which is trying to make them less dependent on anyone country. 

I do see this as an opportunity as well though. If hyperinflation happens I'm sure certain things will definitely get a lot cheaper and since I will be getting paid in another currency that will be a pretty good time to buy up stuff. I do believe that , as Shannon said, the US we know afterwards won't be the US we used to know. Wouldn't be surprised given the stark divisions right now that the US might "Balkanize" into smaller countries. Guess time will tell what happens.

It's funny I have been watching various french journalist that aren't corrupted, and France is being destroyed like the USA. Both government officials seems to blame China, but China did it's job very well compared to the USA and France. There is an interview I watched with a Belgians journalist asking a Belgians  journalist living in china for 10 years what happened in China. What he said mostly is that China Government did his job very well, there weren't perfect but react rapidly, did what a sane person would have done to prevent the virus from spreading. So the results is that China isn't infested like Europe or the USA even if it should be the opposite since the virus started in China, as it took China unawares. Europe and the USA knew the virus was coming because China told the WHO and they did nothing, worse, in France they gave bad very advice to the population, so worsening the situation. I didn't follow the USA progaganda as much but they probably did a similar thing in the USA. 

So well maybe we should leave for China   , I'm half kidding but well times are hard. One of my friend was in China when the virus happened, he told he wanted to stay in China but couldn't, the guy came back fascinated by Chinese like he saw Santa    well compared to where I live it's quite something I have to say.

I was watching this before I came to read the forum here, the journalist in that interview made me laugh when she said:: " We are the wealthiest country in the world" 
I wonder do you really believe USA is still the wealthiest country? maybe on paper I would say. 

While staying at home due to the virus I spent a bit of my time playing video games while also reading a lot of books. While playing games I realized how much I don't like most game made the USA, probably not all but a lot of them. And games after games the only games I kept playing was games made by Japanese. A lot of USA made game left a bad taste in my mouth. Same for TV series, I started hating on USA stuff, me who loves the USA, or used to love it. Crazy stuff 

There is a serious deterioration in the west, not just USA to the point it's touching a lot of contents that we don't realize ( I didn't at least). I don't think it's only the government, the mass plays a role as well. A movie like Wolf of wall street show well how crazy we have been behaving, there is a serious problem of education/culture. 
How can we watch such trash on the TV and still be sane, how can we play GTA5 and not realize how crazy this is. I used to like GTA3, but after a point it started to become so depraved that it no longer felt funny, the point of no return you might say. When I watch Japanese manga or play their games there is none of that, it's  the opposite, it feels alive, like there is purpose there, it's art, it's beautiful. French made stuff aren't that good either, yesterday with my GF we were talking how most of the french/USA anime are trashy, vulgar and toxic. Not all but there is a pattern for sure, and that pattern doesn't seems to exist in Japan. 
I love Games of thrones, but I can't say it's beautiful though   speaking of games thrones maybe the USA is represented by the Lannister in King's landing    




Hopefully we will survive this crisis. I'm welcoming the change personally, I want stuff to change. In France good alternative Media are starting to be watched due to the president being the worst in history. More people are starting to realize we were blindly following the TV government Propaganda. Change is happening, hopefully there is no civil war, because this is curiously starting to feel similar to one in France, with the police hitting harder and harder. But this was before the Virus. With the Virus On, it revealed the government stupidity to the point that is is hard to ignore it anymore. No body is trusting the government, but the government is need in that crisis 


PS: I watched a french documentary on Japan recent Nulcear accident at Fukushima, at one point the French president came in Japan to talk with them, but he was there just to say that we should be moving forward with Nuclear, that is was just an accident. It was the prime Minister I think who received him but he didn't want to as he was handling a very serious crisis. In the meantime the French President just came to say hi, and the help he gave was useless, even annoying as it served nothing but waste time.
I was amazed by the Japan prime Minister, he couldn't do much but he actually wanted to help and recognize his errors, something that I never saw in any of our government party.
