The hyperinflation predictions of about 10-15 years ago actually turned out to be inaccurate I think because the conspiracy crowd overplayed their hand. Basically they ignored that people in the regime may be a bit insane, but they are not actually that stupid, and they can adapt if need be. And they have, although it took them being on the doorstep of hyperinflation before they did.

The Fed completely changed its policy since 2021. Now they are letting interest rates normalize, letting money they printed roll off their balance sheet slowly, and they have said they want to get completely out of the business of owning MBS (which they had done since the 2008 crash). The interest rate repression since after 2008 has been reversed. They want to go back to the old way of doing things using "standing repos" (where if banks get in trouble, they can get short-term loans from the Fed at higher interest rates).

The regime apparatchiks don't want to move too fast or change things until they have to, but they are not immune to doing so IF it is an existential threat (which I believe it was, to US dollar hegemony, had they failed to address the situation and we got hyperinflation).

the goal is to cool the economy not to crash it

but that doesn't sound sensationalist enough for right wing influencers

people listen to whoever sounds the most hysterical like Alex Jones

the things people worry about aren't entirely unfounded but the world isn't ending, the sky isn't falling, Jesus isn't coming back anytime soon and more generally there is nothing new under the sun

the Jews didn't just magically spawn when you or i became politically aware - they have been scamming humanity for the past 3,000 to 6,000 years

the two things that ARE genuinely different this time are:

1 - China

2 - AI

if America falls it won't be because we printed too much money - it will be because the intelligence of our workforce has dropped below the level of both Chinese and AI

this is why i support H1B because it's realistically our last hope and actually is better than having our own children. because H1B doesn't just provide America with skilled workers but DEPRIVES OUR COMPETITORS of these workers.

this is what nostr:npub1n5r9lpxqewnmpmux7hfdz40xecq30z52x0sef7vend6f0vdjyqds020ngn said on X yesterday, namely "An enlightened immigration policy would drain the brains and beauty from the rest of the world."

Evil ! I love it !

don't be selfish bitches !

Yes as you say the problem with the "our own children" option is that Western society is fundamentally broken at the family formation level which will take at least a generation to fix IF we started now AND it wouldn't go into effect for the decades it would take for the new generation to grow up. And there would need to be fundamental reforms so that we don't end up with more generations of human trash as we have under the current system.

It's all too hypothetical. That's why H1Bs are a temporary solution. And I say that as someone who doesn't like them - try debugging their code or getting them to perform at a high level. But the point is they are industrious enough for the immediate needs of the US tech sphere.

China and AI are both existential threats and with the idiocy of about the past 40 years we will be lucky to survive them.

yes we are getting owned by China *right now* not in some distant future

and the Chinese hate Indians even more than we do, which gives us an opportunity to use Indians against the Chinese

i wish it didn't come to this but there is only about HALF a billion whites on earth, about 1.5 billion Chinese and a 1.5 billion Indians

Indians speak English and we must use them against the Chinese ...

our VP Vance has Indian wife ... those are Vance's kids in the pic below from his trip to India to meet their PM Modi ( in White ) ...

of course we have to be selective about which Indians we let in. it should only be the ones with degrees that are in high demand in US ...

i absolutely reject Liberal BS about us needing Mexicans to pick fruit - most of the fruits we buy is imported from Mexico. they can stay there and just send the fruit to us. and American farmers can continue to grow crops that lend themselves to mechanized farming.

we don't need cheap labor. we need taxpayers. an Indian with a PHD pays taxes. a Mexican farm laborer does not - if he even exists outside of Liberal imagination, because most Mexican Illegals live in places like NYC and i have lived in NYC for a long time and never seen a farm there.

No es por posicionarme en un bando, pero china lleva ventaja, y es más estable hoy en día, además USA y la UE se desmoronan.

if we had Russia on our side it would have been better ... i don't know why the west pushed Russia way ... Putin said he also doesn't know ...

but regardless, Russia went to China ... so India is our last hope

even though India is part of BRICS i follow this pro-China account:

https://x.com/zhao_dashuai

and all it does is shit on India

i have also seen Chinese speak negatively of Indians in the past as well

of course that may simply be because India is a shithole and Indians are subhuman but what other choice do we have ?

Out here in the Midwest they definitely use illegal aliens for cheap farm labor. However, this is another thing that could be fixed with time because they used to just give those job to rural kids.
