Only in America do we find a kid wearing $150 tennis shoes, drinking a $5 cup of coffee, typing on his $1000 cell phone complaining
And ironically all that is still possible thanks to China and Russia.
How, you would ask?
Go check that China and Russia still consider dollar (and petrol-dollar!) as world money. What does it matter you may ask? Well, as long as the USA dollar represent world money, USA can print enormous quantities of dollars. Trillions. And more. And still, global value of dollar would be preserved thanks to obvious support from China and Russia, which we see by rapports that confirm how China and Russia continued to buy USA state bonds and accepts USA state money securities.
You know what that ultimately mean? China and Russia preventing cataclysmic inflation in the States.
You know what THAT mean? That means that main global powers, their magnates, do coordinate. In which extent? In great.
Daily politics in mass media is one thing but, unofficially, global powers hold to their mutual relations. Logically, for many reasons.
