Burger bros forget that money is a means to exchange goods and services. Goods and services are what contain actual value and money is an easy way to get access. Money is not valuable in itself, as Apolcalypse bros like to point out. In the case of the Petro-dollar, the dollar grants easy access to petrol, but what good is dollars if the government can cancel all the dollars you hold because they don't like you? So, what we're seeing is the Global version of the Canadian Bank Runs. Combined with environmental policies, the US doesn't have the largest supply of petrol either, which shifts it to the OPEC nations and Russia, so the leverage the dollar has is decreasing every day in international affairs.Article | Archive
CHINESE national oil company CNOOC and France’s TotalEnergies have completed China’s first yuan-settled liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade through the Shanghai Petroleum and Natural Gas Exchange, the exchange said on Tuesday (Mar 2.
Approximately 65,000 tonnes of LNG imported from the UAE changed hands in the trade, it said in a statement.
TotalEnergies confirmed to Reuters that the transaction involved LNG imported from the UAE but did not comment further.
CNOOC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
China has placed an emphasis on settling oil and gas trades in yuan in recent years in a bid to establish its currency internationally and to weaken the US dollar’s grip on world trade.
Russia has increasingly embraced the yuan amid Western sanctions.
During a visit to the Saudi capital Riyadh in December President Xi Jinping announced that China would “make full use” of the Shanghai exchange as a platform to carry out yuan settlements of oil and gas trades. REUTERS
I keep saying that de-dollarization is occurring and nobody believes me because "breh its always been settled in US Dollars." The stupidity of the sanctions and attempts to just unilaterially seize assets from the oligarchs has pissed off the global community and they're beginning to hedge by destroying the petrodollar into a basket of several currencies. The schizophrenic policy out of the US State Department under Biden's admin and nonstop pushing of globohomo is coming to a head.

That is a big ol yikes. The dude in the comment section talking about the ballot harvesting practices is a legit question. So these people did in fact donate with Act Blue and then they use their "socks" to launder money. Holy crap.

The most feasible demographic is the government themselves and/or the real estate faggots (so CCP).
We JUST had the tech bubble exploding being avoided, they probably don't want the housing bubble to pop too and offices getting fucked could create a cascade effect, again.
As I want more property, I am all for WFH and propert values finally fucking tanking. Over and over.
Or at the least another bailout, bailouts are always funny to me.

No, if they did, they'd at least be making it more entertaining in a fun, forget the worries sort of way. Though, I'm just gonna continue to reveal and laugh in the face of the absurd doom pill.

Anyone seen or heard any updates about the "power grid attacks" that were for the sole purpose of knocking out the power to that drag show? Funny how that kind of thing is never mentioned again, just like the science projects they were shooting down after the balloon hysteria.

Right, because they had an extremely vested interest in ending WFH. Apple isn't going to spend billions on a gigantic campus only for it to sit empty and lose value.
Not every company is Apple or Google in terms of being able to force employees to do things. There are thousands of companies doing WFH that don't want to because they know if they tell a team of 12 to come into the office, they're going to get 10 resignations currently.
You also don't need a VPN for a video call - most companies just use off the shelf software (Teams, Slack, Hangouts, Zoom, whatever AWS sells these days, etc). Fucking Congress is doing meetings on regular ass Zoom at times. For huge "company wide" meetings they don't have tens of thousands of people all slamming the VPN at once (most bottom tier workers should not need a VPN ever to do their jobs).
It's also not about the law, it was simply pointing out that the corporations that want to end WFH by any means necessary are the ones that have money tied up in corporate real estate.

Re: the RESTRICT act
Apologies for not remembering which one of you fine spergs said it, but I recall recently someone posted regarding dissent, how governments worry so much about loud public dissent when what they should really worry about is when people start meeting in private groups and talking in hushed tones about how much they hate the status quo.
The RESTRICT act is interesting because it's like they're creating that exact environment. If people can't complain and mildly fedpost on twitter etc without being taken to court, that's not going to stop people from having those opinions, it's just going to take away something else (their place to vent for catharsis) and lead to people meeting in small groups and whispering amongst themselves about how much they want to see DC lawns painted with a fine red mist.

I'm sure he doesn't have any idea. I doubt that he's being briefed honestly or thoroughly or even regularly. And he's always been dim and incurious, so I'm sure he isn't asking questions or seeking out info on his own. Politicians don't know anything without being briefed. The question is, who's doing the briefings and what are their aims?

But unlike the USSR did with Chernobyl, the Swamp's hegemony just won't die. Or at least, not fast enough.
And even when it eventually does, the ones responsible will get away scot-free, while the shit falls upon the masses of decent people.

I get there will always be some theatrics and directions in politics, but this is just grating.
