Thanked: 174Yes it's probably true, America is in true financial trouble. The $ is weak and heading in one direction as the populus riddle themselves with debt and think that is the way to go. Loosing your house certainly focuses the mind, but there's still the credit card to get you bye.
It's also true that Hitler is not really a person to whom I would look to for guidance on... well.... anything.
I can remember maybe around the early 80's (1980) that the Russians used
barter to trade. Barter means things like, I'll give you 10 ton of corn for 1 ton of copper. They would barter for major supply contracts.
How much would you give Microsoft for a computer operating system for example. Would you give them anything if it didn't work? (sorry I digress)
In England there are communities that barter because they don't trust money or banks. You know, things like, I'll cut your hair if you fit a new plug socket for me. But it gets a lot more complicated with people earning credits that can be used to buy goods and services, just like money. Whole communities are using the process. No taxes, and true value for money.
The banks don't recognise these people. Mind you many people (the majority) don't trust banks or any of the financial institutions. From Insurance to banking to the stock market to the value of the £ all is no longer believed to be secure.
But in 2008, the real issue is how the world is being pulled apart for oil. The money supply is being squeezed because the cost of transport and power is putting pressure on peoples incomes. It has already increased food prices to a level were the really poor are already dead and millions are lining up to join them.
Whose fault is it. Well it is in part the greed of the owners of the power supplies and one significant supply is oil. But Russia is cashing in as well on it gas. It is also the consumers fault for becoming dependent.
What's the answer?
Well in the West, we have the expertise in terms of ".knowledge" to kill the oil industry outside of Western control... overnight. Stop supplies, stop education of foreigners, stop sharing expertise and bring home nationals working abroad. The oil industry outside of Western powers would stop in months.
Nothing to do with chasing Bin Laden. Just stop the greedy *******s who are holding us to ransom for oil until they come begging for food and water,
and they will. In reality, it's not as if they have anything other than oil.
But you will have to go cold in winter and do without your cars for a while to regain control.
Don't believe me, well ask Hitler.
