Yes, let all of your hate out.

Admitting to your hatred is good for the spleen and reportedly eases the pain of koutou calluses.

Part of Virtuous Victorian Values = looking after elders: China the civilisation state has the productive assets to transfer to the pension plan, at the stroke of pen, done, in thanks to the elders who gave all to build up the state, round-tripping investment by dividend


GDP when measuring flim production and flam economics does not provide food and other good things. If Flim + Flam = big heaps of military might people can still starve even if the sum of Flim + Flam = a huge GDP.

Dilution of people holding US$ is a slam dunk [includes me contrary to my decades-long rule of not holding cash other than short term while moving it somewhere else]. Dilution has been phenomenal since the gold standard was abandoned and started before that.

That huge dilution has not caused hyperinflation yet because the Federal Reserve has been a bit careful to not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and because Made in China low pay production covered up the crime and the stupendously fantastic productivity phenomenon of Cyberspace and computing and a million technological inventions in engines, medicine, genetics, rocketry and everything allowed dilution even more without causing price increases. The computing power within a metre of me is more than all the computing power in the whole world in 1974 when I bought my first engineering calculator. [I admit that's a casual claim with no fact checking].

The dilution game can run for a while yet.
