Are you aware that a Federal Reserve note "dollar bill" is not a constitutional dollar? Perhaps you are, but if so, do you know what a constitutional dollar literally is? Is it gold? Is it silver?

There is some good news about a weak dollar: It will help us manufacture for export again.

And a million new workers crossing the southern border to run the factory!

Show me where a sound dollar and capitalism causes anywhere near the pain, suffering, tragedy, misery and number of deaths that a fiat currency and a powerful socialistic central government has caused.

I believe the "need" for social justice comes when the income/wealth inequality gap becomes too large.

Inflation hurts the poorest people most, and favors the wealthy. It is a stealth tax on the working class. It promotes inequality and is an injustice to retirees with savings in cash.

from pendō (“to weigh”).

Intereasting. "pendo" like "pendulum" the swinging clock weight, and "pendular" like the weighed down sagging breasts.

I love etymologies.

I look them up all the time on https://en.wiktionary.org/ which is blessedly non-woke so far.

As those who understand history, we know that the fiat dollar was created to replace the literal dollar as pictured above.

But what will happen when central banksters replace the fiat dollar?

Here is one possibility: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/unification-cbdcs-global-banks-are-telling-us-end-dollar-system-near

@unusual_whales
A few days ago, Janet Yellen was answering: "How concerned are you about the long term status of the dollar?"

The US Treasury Department sign fell off.

Yes. Now we just need to add a stable coin like Tether for the next step.

Ppl haven't caught on to that yet.
