      Something I don't agree with. He says the war in Ukraine was something that had to happen because Russia needs to protect secure its eastern flank. That's bs since Russia has nukes. That's why NATO planes aren't bombing Moscow right now. We aren't in the 19th or early 20th century anymore.

What happens if our economic growth begins to decline, while other countries work to exit the dollar as fast and hard as possible, and we haven't even yet begun to decrease our national debt load while at that point no longer affording to pay even the interest on our debts?

      Yeah, he made it simplistic, but its a good explanation as to why the USA dollar is still the stalwart of international finance and why Brexit or the Yuan are both non-starters. The Euro was a big competitor when it got started but as he mentioned the E.U. has some policy issues that have rendered it kind of internationally impotent (but still solid) compared to the USA Dollar.

      Peter is not a "news source". He is a very polished and fairly well informed version of "Baghdad Bob". His analysis and insight contain enough truth to come across as plausible, but his conclusions - at least in the short term (read the last three of four years that I have been following him) have missed much more than they have hit. He is a polished shill, selling an agenda (an agenda that I wish was right and hope is more right than wrong). He is always hyperbolic, always boldly confident sounding and always builds in hedges. He moves on quickly when his "predictions" don't pan out and on occassion addresses them to explain why they didn't pan out (presumably after being called out on them).

    Welcome to the exponential age. Thanks for the answers on AI and labor. The chip shortage as a catalyst for further divergence of economic participation is disturbing. That road leads to conflict and repression. Productivity gains of 3% a year are low. I'm looking at 100-300% in ten years. Steps to take now are preparing for guaranteed minimum income, retraining, and demand programs just to keep the market economy pumping. Lots of destabilizing change coming - we have a little time to work on balance.

      This is why I hate these statements coming from Peter because he’s generally defending the people with a questionable fax who are calling out everyone else has living outside of reality. Well, they’re corruption festers in their little DC bubble. The 2020 elections were obviously stolen, NATO is asinine, and America is proving to the world that it is a basket case, severely influenced by foreigners and corporate profits, which seek war as a way of plundering the American taxpayer. The massage in pedophile honey traps seem to be fairly well understood by the general population, which somehow makes them conspiracies they arrest, according to the news media, which is controlled by the same intelligence services. You literally have to be stupid not to see this at this point yet Peter circles around the wagon for them because at the end of the day Joe six pack doesn’t pay the bills and those that print the money can give you all sorts of consulting and speech revenues.

In order for a country to maintain their standard of living, while operating using their own currency, they would have to be able to produce replacements for so many materials. It’s possible that we will see regional markets that use a different currency, but I don’t see many countries cooperating on such a scale.

      Lots of people are reenacting the Soviet stuff these days take a look at all our aircraft with doors, falling off and wheels, rolling off and tell me that we’re not reaching the end of empire. We literally are at the point of incompetence because the corruption has filled the system with incompetent people in order to steal and take graft, or for ideological reasons that I have a long time ago been scientifically falsified. I’ll let you figure out with us last part means.

      Newt Gingrich was the architect of that, not Clinton. Gingrich was one of the only clean, well-informed Speakers of the House we've had in the last 120yrs. Most of the rest are plants by organized crime, positioned to steer pork barrel spending to cronies.
      Paul Ryan and Mike Johnson are also outliers in that Speaker format. McCarthy, Pelosi, and the others literally come from Mafia-stooge families. Tip O'Neil, Tom Foley, and down the list is a very interesting insight in how corporate kleptocrats and organized crime have controlled the US budget for well over a century.

    Did you say that a “Clinton” proposal (during his admin.) to reduce national debt, if passed while he was in office, would truly have wiped out the national debt by now? If I heard you correctly, it should be more widely known. Why was the Bill/proposal not enacted? Man, perhaps there may be some hope. Kindly confirm🍁

      We've always lived in a world where information was controlled by those in power.
      Because of the internet, there's a struggle over that power base and people are ignoring legacy media tunnels with abandonment of corporate advertisement-based groupthink.
      When Peter referenced the lunatic fringe conspiracies that used to be espoused by the left percolating into the right in US politics, he didn't specify which conspiracies, but he's right.
      The main ones are:
      * JFK assassination had US government involvement in both the murders and the cover-up via the Warren Commission. This was a pillar basis of politically-active academics and journalists who affiliated with Democrats from the 1960s-forward.
      There were also people across party lines who thought it was a conspiracy, didn't buy the WC narrative. These are just the facts about people's perceptions and instincts, supported by the Church Committee, Assassination review Committee, and ARRB acts from 1975-1992.
      * Another big one is pharmaceutical giants' manipulation of media and ads through corporate media, while concealing their harmful products.
      People on the left and right are seeing more eye-to-eye on these types of topics, which is alarming to those who are used to ruling through division.
      Peter skips over these details, though he has discussed the overall trend towards a new populist political movement in the US.

  • @ngc-ho1xd
    @ngc-ho1xd 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Talking About messaging from 13:49 Pete describes it as communication "problem" with the last several presidents. But I think he's missing an important subcontext. Namely that people busy or otherwise, rarely spend much time if any communicating with people who they see as unimportant insignificant or superfluous. The lack of meaningful communication represents another indicator that the US political system is completely detached from the American population.
