Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

@MajinBlayze @tacoplease If I heard or read that, I've forgotten. However, I've been following the economy for a long time (parent was economist). I've been waiting for the dollar to be trashed by the evil out there and turned into rubles. Can't have a strong dollar when democracy is being killed off.
Technically I've overstated it a bit, the more correct framing is that a major contributor of Trump's economic policy, Stephen Miran, also wrote a paper called "a user's guide to restructuring the global trading system" which advocates and provides guidance for removing the dollar as the primary reserve currency of the world.
But that seems like a distinction without a difference to me.
I don't think that that necessarily means we'll see the ruble in it's place though.
What’s you idea behind how the Federal Reserve came to be, what it is, and how that might differ from how it’s perceived? Anything? — just curious
Far as we remember, banks have always been a thing in one way or another, however one too many banks got robbed, destroyed or worse, everyone cashed out all at once; caused the US gov to initiate an insurance policy, which needed a treasury to fulfill those insurance policies, it was a way to help banks.
We think that was the beginning of the US federal reserve; if our memory serves us right. Idk the year or specifics, just that tidbit from history. If we’re wrong then please lmk lol
Wouldn't it be "luk"? Lol
Pfft haha yeah true, though for most of the abbreviations we try to keep it to original/generic for other ppl not to get confused as to what we mean. But when we word it out, yeah we would say let us know.
Google is that way ⬆️
I’ve formed my own opinions. I was more or less curious how ours might diverge. Appreciate the response nonetheless.
I'm not going to stumble through my limited knowledge about the entirety of the history of the fed to see if it happens to overlap with whatever you're getting at. If you have a point, make it.
No point. I am just someone who is curious because I like to learn new things, and thought perhaps I could spark some discourse toward that effect. It’s my fault for being so unconventional, off topic, and clearly having overestimated your limited knowledge about it. All is well, I would prefer your composure and not your stumble. Have a good day.
