It's very a strange thing for people latch onto. One that doesn't exactly pass the smell test.

The US in 2023 exported about 4x more per capita inflation adjusted goods than we did in 1975.

In raw manufacturing, in 2023 we manufactured about about 8% more than 1975 when adjusted for pulopulation and inflation. Let's call it the same amount in raw $$ when all adjusted.

Clearly we not only make stuff here, we make more than we used to in the 70s. Note: perhaps the 60s was higher, I would need to run the numbers.

A key difference however could be that the share of GDP fromanufacturing is massively less today than in 1975. Along it 'feel less'.

Yes, they absolutely need the government. If the US and all states decided to make it only legal to pay debts, trade and taxes in gold, Bitcoin, or liberty notes, the dollar would plummet to zero instantly. The fed would cease to exist. There have been a few central banks, the others don't exist anymore.

Lol. The federal reserve isn't company. It is a quasi government arm that is privately owned and partially privately run where all profits go back to the Treasury.

But if you want to include them, ok.

What does the federal reserve need to continue operating? The government...they need the federal reserve act of 1913, aka, a law, to continue operating. Without it they shutdown. Without the government, nobody would listen or use them.

I rest my case.

Yes, because they thrived in the high c02 environment. The planet is constantly changing and always adapts.

To think that humans adding a tiny bit of CO2 to the incredibly benign .04% of co2 that exists in the atmosphere will harm the earth is a bit silly, don't you think?

The earth existed long before and will exist long after humans are gone.

Ah. Well my friend, I have some amazing news for you.

The c02 levels in 2025 are less than 1/10th the levels of what they were 50million years ago and the earth is still here with an atmosphere and everything. 👍
