Unfortunately as long as the US remains the global financial hegemon through the dollar, it'll continue to be the most lucrative place to obtain assets globally.

Double Unfortunately the dollar is probably going to reach 1985 plaza accords levels of strength vs other currencies, but without the global economy working together to help the US like it did before.

An overly strong dollar will likely destroy the US's ability to export goods.

Do you have any sources about this?

I had suspected stuff like this happened at the end of WW2 but I've never heard any concrete stories

I've heard this called "social chaff"

AIs generating false data for you to hide behind may be one of the few good things to come out of the LLM craze.

USB-C is pin-compatible with every single other USB plug, so you should be able to get away with all USBC cables and some adapters for whatever plug type you're trying to plug in.

There are only 3 types of pin sets, USB-C(USB 3.0 pins + 3 extra pins), USB-3.0(USB 1.0 + 5 extra pins) and USB-2.0 and lower. Everything else version wise is the controller on the actual board, not the cable.

Cable-wise you only need one to get the benefit of every other plug on the market.

The falcon rockets are fine but SpaceX has been raising prices on their launches since they won the majority of the contracts.

It used to cost 20 million a seat on the Soyuz until Russia became the sole provider of crewed launches, then they raised the price to about 80 million a seat.

Along comes musk and promises 20 million a seat and low and behold after the contracts are fulfilled they raise the price to 80 million as well.

SpaceX is falling into the same rut every company that becomes a monopoly enters into, and Starship is Musk's personal meme rocket the taxpayer has already shelled out 4 billion for, and there's not even a launch with a working payload.

SpaceX looks cool flashy as shit but they over-promise and under-deliver at the same rate Tesla does. Early success giving way to overconfidence and an inability to deliver on their lofty promises.

I don't see this as a bad thing, maybe china landing people on the moon before us will light a fire on both sides of the aisle to stop fucking around with commercial space contracts.

Over-reliance on SpaceX is causing the same problems to Artemis that over-reliance on Boeing caused the SLS program. A year and a half behind schedule, blown their entire budget on a meme rocket that only potentially lifts half the tonnage promised.

I would not say Johnny Harris is a reliable source

The thesis also elicited that elite overproduction tends to favor political change in the dispossessed elite's favor

It posits most revolutions, including communist revolutions, were pushed by elites who weren't given the station they were promised.

It's your queries + your IP combined with the rest of the data the net collects from you that identifies you.
