Financial corruption to ponder
How about this... All the countries who have been pillaged financially and physically by the US get together, create a gold backed currency (BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa +100s of other countries) and leave the US to play alone in their sandbox?
Ah, when this happens, Trump says, "we'll pose a 100% tariff on your goods". Sounds like a lot of ego and whining to me.
When did the people ever consent to 0.00001 exchange rates with the US dollar? Why is that deemed ok, but when the USD is falling to the gold backed BRICS countries, the US cries, screams and stomps it's feet that it wants to be the king of the sandbox.
We don't need any kings, queens, people who think they are better than everyone else. The people know how to fix things and much cheaper than a corrupt corporation pretending to care.
We don't need a financial system. It's just a means of control. Bring out the synthesizers, free energy (zero-point energy) and the people can cooperate to build a wonderful society that our children can thrive in.
Right now, the corruption is being exposed. The people are being forced to create a new way of living that supports the people and not corporations.
I see a news article about Russia's ruble is falling. They're already gold backed and the US is buying their oil under the table. Turn off the "news" and go outside. Play with the kids.
