[05:07] IsambardPrince Find some that have dual citizenship in the US and Japan and put them on those seats. [05:08] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR3], This is the beginning of a long line of "investments". [05:08] IsambardPrince That are really just selling them assets with money they could otherwise demand payment on by redeeming Treasuries. [05:08] IsambardPrince They've been snapping up Treasuries for over 40 years to prop up the US Dollar. [05:09] IsambardPrince They now have an incentive to call that because they aren't doing too well economically. [05:09] IsambardPrince But if we have to pay them, then that means trouble for us.

[05:11] schestowitz[TR3] a form of financial engineering [05:11] schestowitz[TR3] instead of financing engineering [05:11] schestowitz[TR3] which is what japan does [05:11] schestowitz[TR3] the us does not grow its economy [05:11] schestowitz[TR3] iiit tries to "grow" wall street [05:12] schestowitz[TR3] it's like putting on more makeup [05:12] schestowitz[TR3] instead of improving your skin [05:12] schestowitz[TR3] the makeup may just damage the skim [05:12] schestowitz[TR3] *skin [05:12] schestowitz[TR3] but you want to see how long you can hide it for [05:13] IsambardPrince Yeah, Trump is bragging about all this money pouring in from Japan. [05:13] IsambardPrince But that's not a good thing. [05:13] *koo5 has quit (Quit: http://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.) [05:13] IsambardPrince The "good" effects were when Japan gave us money and held on to some bonds for decades. [05:14] IsambardPrince Because we had money we could spend, and they didn't demand anything then and there. [05:14] IsambardPrince So we were living high on their money for a while. [05:14] IsambardPrince But now it's like having some foreign creditor seizing assets. [05:14] *koo5__ (~quassel@vmi579006.contaboserver.net) has joined #techrights [05:14] IsambardPrince That's literally all this is. [05:18] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR3], There's really no good way to unwind over a trillion and a half in Treasuries. [05:18] IsambardPrince So probably the best way to do it is to "invest". [05:19] IsambardPrince Yo don't want to financially ruin the currency you're being paid back in. [05:19] IsambardPrince Demanding $1.5 trillion as it comes due would do that. [05:19] IsambardPrince And Trump already threatened a sovereign default. [05:21] schestowitz[TR3] what would that do? [05:23] IsambardPrince Nobody even knows. It's happened to other countries before. [05:23] IsambardPrince But not ones that were as important. [05:23] IsambardPrince Russia in 1998. [05:23] IsambardPrince Argentina a while later I think. [05:24] schestowitz[TR3] i was about to say the same [05:24] schestowitz[TR3] same countries [05:24] schestowitz[TR3] and [05:24] schestowitz[TR3] that we don't know [05:24] schestowitz[TR3] nobody knows [05:24] schestowitz[TR3] some people pretend to know [05:24] schestowitz[TR3] but they don't [05:24] schestowitz[TR3] same for the tariff wars [05:25] schestowitz[TR3] that didn't go well [05:25] schestowitz[TR3] then they withdrew [05:25] schestowitz[TR3] but damage donw [05:25] schestowitz[TR3] rms calls him, [05:25] IsambardPrince It happens to unstable countries that have serious internal problems. [05:25] schestowitz[TR3] """the wrecker" [05:25] schestowitz[TR3] which seemed apt [05:25] IsambardPrince Trump is acting like it's a negotiating tool. [05:25] schestowitz[TR3] right [05:26] IsambardPrince It doesn't ultimately solve anything. [05:26] IsambardPrince It means your borrowing costs shoot through the roof and it forces you to cut things to the bone so you can live on incoming tax revenue. [05:27] IsambardPrince The government would have to cut spending by over $2.5 trillion a year somehow without touching mandatory spending. Well, it can cut out debt service if it's defaulting. So that's a trillion I guess. [05:27] IsambardPrince And that only accounts for the problem of not being able to borrow. [05:28] IsambardPrince Pretty much everything has to come to a halt. [05:28] IsambardPrince All your assets that are offshore are subject to being seized. [05:28] IsambardPrince Other countries can start sanctioning you for not paying your bills by cutting you out of their banking system. [05:29] IsambardPrince Overnight, the Dollar would no longer be a reserve currency. People can't really spend them because they're bookkeeping entries that the Treasury won't make good on. [05:29] IsambardPrince Nobody will be willing to accept a negative current account. [05:30] IsambardPrince And since most of our current accounts are negative, that's a problem. [05:30] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR3], the Germans got out ahead of this and started demanding their gold back about 10 years ago. [05:30] IsambardPrince Gold they trusted us with for many years.
