Relax with the insults, keyboard warrior. I didnt translate anything.

I did however make a typo with the original remark so let me clarify this: the US absolutely tried to kibosh China by NOT increasing their interest rates. Reasons?

The Chinese govt fought this like they thought Soros when he was buying up Hong Kong in 1998/1999. By pumping money and keeping all major companies/infrastructure in place rather than needing to sell foreign investment.

China has a huge stockpile of USD which is the most universal currency. So if the interest rate gets kiboshed, theyll just use USD directly. They also invested into a lot of foreign assets using USD to minimize impact since they know the US will use the same playbook if China is viewed as a threat. Since this dragged on for too long with an impending election at the time, the Dems had to do something get votes.

Federal interest rates-wise US is only country with major impact globally. Hence why the Dems were willing to screw over their constituent base in an attempt to kibosh China if it meant targeting a global competitor who isnt quite ready yet to go toe to toe with the US yet as taking care of the dogs is absolutely no problem.


jumping from one pile of steaming bullshit to a different pile of steaming bullshit does nothing to improve your credibility

US interest rate policy is strictly used to influence domestic price stability
it is controlled by the Federal reserve which is non political



no rational economist in the western world would ever state us interest rate policy was used to 'screw' over another country


besides
" US increased their interest rates in an attempt to screw over China this year, even at the expense of their own ppl."

doesn't appear grammatically correct by adding a "not" as if this was the typo you now claim

" not US increased their interest rates in an attempt to screw over China this year, even at the expense of their own ppl."
or
" US not increased their interest rates in an attempt to screw over China this year, even at the expense of their own ppl."
or
" US increased their interest rates not in an attempt to screw over China this year, even at the expense of their own ppl."
or
" US increased their interest rates in not an attempt to screw over China this year, even at the expense of their own ppl."
or
" US increased their interest rates in an attempt to screw over China not this year, even at the expense of their own ppl."

it just does not fit or make sense

the only place this statement makes any sense is if it is Chinese propaganda misinformation

so we are back to
there are only two possible reasons why you would state
" US increased their interest rates in an attempt to screw over China this year, even at the expense of their own ppl."

1. you have zero economic training and have not read any business news for 2 years and are stupid beyond belief
2. you cut and pasted translated Chinese propaganda and did not proof read your post

i do not believe you to be stupid beyond belief, but you tell us
which is it ?

and they don't seem to learn after much self reflection...still blaming "uneducated white women" "misogynystic black men" and "racist white men" oh and also Joe Biden for not withdrawing his candidacy early and endorsing Kamala is also part of the blame game...

It's disturbing. They've turned the loss into an identity politics grievance marathon.

They are spiteful propagandists.

Kamala lost because she was an absolutely terrible candidate running as Biden 2.0 when the Biden administration was already unpopular.

It doesn't get any simpler.

I did win.
I didn't want to poke my nose in this and I may be setting myself up for an ass kicking. But oh well. lol.
I just wanted to say a few words as I read all those posts.
A win for you in this case would have been Josephine and Kitty agreeing with you and coming to your side.
That is a true win.
What you did here was to browbeat them and shut them down.
You called Josephine weak.
Sharing a humiliating or embarrassing experience in public, takes trust. And that takes strength.
You said she and Kitty need to be sterilized. That is horrible.
Even if they were wrong, and perhaps said something to offend you or annoy you, you did not have to be so harsh in your response.
Forget affective empathy, cognitive empathy etc.
There is no need to intellectualize this or be too academic about this.
You seem to consider people as left or right fundamentally.
I believe people are more than that.
You may feel egged on, on this forum, because of some likes and loves you get from some guys who are right wing.
Dont let this get to you.
Be a little more considerate.
Who does that hurt?
You may take a shot at me now, trash me or whatever else.
I won't respond back and will instead duck for cover. :)

The democrats have lost the plot I agree.
They are more concerned with virtue signalling than actually pursuing progressive policies.
But any past Republican, say Raegan would be equally appalled at what the Republicans have become.
The last Republican I actually respected was John McCain (RIP), even if I disagreed with him on policy.


it is not just the democrats. it is your left ideology that needs re-evaluation (ie respect for the rule of law, what defines success etc.)
Sure Reagan would be appalled with Trump but after watching the current loonie left he would have puked in disgust

if you don't buy that well......... the electorate agrees which is far more important and should be the sobering issue
if you want to lose again keep pretending you have the right to identify as a cat or boarders are meaningless


If your potential date rejects you in favour of Quasimodo, a new suit , haircut and breath mints is not going to cut it , you have bigger problems
claiming Quasimodo to be ugly wont work either

But the country rejected Trump in 2020.
Was that a rejection of the right?
So did anything change with the right since then?
No.
So this election is not a rejection of the left, but rather the result of a vapid campaign by the democrats.

unfortunately the left has become completely tone deaf to the real issues that are affecting everybody

and for a good reason

they are the major cause of the harsh reality we are in now

ancient history
Why did the nasty mean spirited prick lose to this guy below:
1. slow response to the pandemic
2. the prick does have an off putting personality
3. a big pile of mysterious votes which I cant explain, nor can you, odd how the 2020 vote count was such an anomaly
4. The electorate still had some confidence in the democrats (that's gone now)

your missing the point

if your potential date rejects you in favour of Quasimodo, a new suit , haircut and breath mints is not going to cut it , you have bigger problems
time for the loonie left to re-evaluate

We had a vaccine in 9 months.
No debate on point 2.
There were no mysterious votes. The election had a higher turn out.
True. And this is the reason. They need to fix this for 2028.
