      Hoarding a bunch of US dollars while giving everyone every incentive to disconnect from the US economy.

      It’s like they think the economic world order is a law of nature.

      We could all stop using money today, and decide on a whole different system, and they’d have nothing again but our hatred.

      Keep pushing, morons.

        You’re absolutely right. They really don’t understand that once they have all the money, people just switch to something else and everything they hoarded becomes worthless.

          The only real value is in our resources, labor, and manufacturing capability, and those will still be here.

          This is why I’ve always considered “capital flight” an empty threat. Let capital leave… They’ve done more harm by staying and slowly moving all of our production capacity overseas.

          These idiots think destroying the systems will hurt us, they’re so bought into their own bullshit. That’s the silver lining in all this, we’ll build back stronger.
