US Dollar Collapsing Today!

the dollar has been fluctuating between 1.35 and 1.38 since may, or even before, usually holding steady around 1.37 always with rumors that the story talks about which would screw hard working Americans.

I may be naive to the whole currency thing though. But I feel, that money is inhumane anyways. Look at what it would do to all the hard working people who just want to get by and live a simple life, because of a dependency on money, all their hard work could be for nothing.

 

1.40929..I think I'll go out right now, and get a big bag of rice and canned beans and other such food...just in case

 

Oil is up to $83, per barrel, a record.

 

Yah I mean there are official statements on quality of life which I have looked at, but it really depends on your lifestyle and how you personally live: eat healthy and workout and already your headed towards a peak quality. sure there are external forces we have no control of, which are really hurting, but someone living in the country ranked with the highest quality of life can be living worse, because of what they do to themselves, than someone in a country ranked 150. I think it is more subjective and hard to look at any country collectively, because of the vast amount of individuals. France has been ranked #1, but some of those people in the ghettos of Paris would beg to differ for sure! My life in France or US is the same level of quality, for now, outside a few shitty external factors which are trying to make the US a lot shittier now, but so far I have found different means to maintain a quality that makes me happy. I get by, eat right, excercise and feel my body is operating at optimal quality, which means in my book, internally at least, quality of life is great. I just have to find ways around the external factors, like I said, that I can not control. if that means stocking up on food while it is still cheap, so be it. Of course with the growing police states in Europe and USA, I think QoL is becoming less relevant anyways, as soveriegnty over our own bodies decline and external factors start to ruin internal ones that we ourselves should be able to control.

anyways, QoL is so subjective and I take the official rankings with a grain of salt, as each study differs, France being 1 in some, 10 in others and barely top 20 still in others. QoL projections, you have to look at who did the studies and what those researchers may have to gain or what biases they may hold and I say that with no country in my own personal mind.

anyways, as long as we can push off these external factors or get around them and fend off the growing police state and STOP IT, we can still make our QoL fine, though I am in no way dismissing the many obstacles that are being put in our way, more and more each day, like the declining dollar and decline of liberties. I realize that and the challange it presents towards internal strives for QoL.

Its up to us to determine QoL for ourselves in the US and Europe at least, not a study researchers did.

 

and skip I do realize that what has allowed US to have such a high QoL in the past, especially in past decades, was the tremendous amounts of debt people were allowed to get into to live beyond their means. and now it is coming back to haunt us.

a credit card is really unheard of France. sure you take out a loan for a house or what not. But Americans especially tend to be really good at living beyond their means, buying all sorts of gadgets and crazy toys, coupled with a lying media (war especially), and that is what is really doing us in. things are coming back to haunt us, past mistakes, maybe collective karma for that US, who knows. But I think people realize that the way they are living, those days may be coming to an end unless they decide to act out big time.

 

Does anyone think this is the prelude to the hypothetical "Amero?"

 

Well, I just did a google search on this and LOTS came up.....

"US dollar collapsing today"..... I'm glad I have lots and lots of rice and dried beans here but this is rather frightening and interesting.....


Ps- found from free internet press

"But the latest turmoil in mortgage markets has, in a single stroke, shaken faith in the resilience of American finance to a greater degree than even the bursting of the technology bubble in 2000 or the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, analysts said. It has also raised prospect of a recession in the wider economy."

and....

"This step would logically follow the rapidly cooling housing market, since Americans have spent heavily with money borrowed against rising home values. "



---- I had a feeling the housing bubble collapsing was connected in some way.......

 

I think so.

There is a famous equation

something like

create problem, have a solution ready before problem and than implent it. and maybe there is something else.

But it is a reality. The media won't say anything for the most part, because media is irrelevant. But a little blurb was mentioned on CNN that it is coming, just so they can cover their asses and say they did try inform people...yah a 2 minute blurb is really informing.

 

A lower dollar makes U.S. exports more competitive, which is good news for American manufacturers but spells rising prices for imports to the U.S. The dollar's decline also diminished the spending power of American tourists while attracting to the U.S. foreign visitors who seek cheaper accommodations and shopping.-By Jackie Farwell, AP Business Writer

well if we still actually made many things, which allowed this country to flourish, the news wouldn't be as bad

oh well, what can we do?

 

Which article HHB? I was gonna delete my last post because I saw the date was in 2006 but I decided to leave it up anyways because it's still relevant.

 

that article is almost a year old as well...

 

well getting food is all good, but get shit you can eat cold.

if the dollar declines, things become more expensive, so that means lights out more often and no gas stove the majority of the time.
