Now the currency will fail, like a great slow motion catastrophic train wreck.

Yes, but the rest of the worlds' major currencies will probably fall first. The liabilities of the eurodollar market of debts non-Americans owe themselves is twice or more ($70T - $90T) than what the US government does. So they need to print more of their own money to buy dollars to just service that debt - not pay it off but just service it. On top of that, they need to raise their domestic interest rates or see capital flight right at a time when they can not let that happen.

This is what the BRICS fluffers do not get or simply refuse to admit.

In the movie there's a scene where the reporters are trying to buy gas. The gas station owner tells them 300 will only buy them a sandwich: ham OR cheese.

Then Kirsten Dunce says: "Canadian' and the dude changes his tune.

In a real civil war scenario, the Canadian dollar would be worthless too as 90% of Canada's GDP is now tied into America's.

Afghanistan is our Afghanistan. Maui and Palestine Ohio were fairly small, but highly embarrassing.

Our Afghanistan is a fraction of their Afghanistan in lost lives and materiel. Maui and Palestine Ohio are two nothingburgers blown out of proportion by chicken littles.

Take out Cook county and most of IL should be on this map south of I-80 and West of I-39. I have an M plate in my driveway right now. I know these government types inside and out. I am one. I can get pulled over with open containers in my car and the cop just says "John Doe, go home." No, I don't do this.

I don't get people that commit crime. Petty violations like speeding (I don't do that) are fine by me. I know plenty of people that have a road soda and never get pulled over. Talking with local cops, they just don't want to enforce anything. Their bad day can end up with them in jail over a speeding violation. That's where we're at. I'm a geezer when it come to driving, but most people know this and give zero fucks knowing the cops won't do shit if they do reckless things on the road, which is generally job #1 for cops.
