16:49 signpost wild that they're going with the destruction of the reserve status of USD.
16:51 signpost I suppose at some point the propaganda that sustains "of course we're not exporting our inflation" seeps into the bureaucracies themselves.
16:51 signpost mmt of course being paper-thin cover for this.
16:51 asciilifeform signpost: wouldn't such destruction require presence of a better-looking horse in the fiatola glue factory ?
16:55 signpost asciilifeform: check out this pleading for example.
16:55 signpost US is giving it away with this mismanagement. about to print however-many trillion more.
16:58 asciilifeform signpost: e.g. cn, not printing ? afaik errybody's printing
17:06 signpost there's been chatter re: establishing a "BRICS" currency, and CN in particular has been hovering up gold like mad.
17:06 signpost of course the chinese will lie, cheat, steal, but question is whether the world's tired enough of our shit to try out their imperial management over ours.
17:10 * asciilifeform not convinced that cn is decoupled from anglo reich to the degree implied in this hypothetical
17:15 asciilifeform and for that matter, imho the popular framing of 'fate of usd' as a spontaneous catastrophe of whatever kind, is a lol. is, rather, controlled demolition.
17:17 asciilifeform ^ apparently links go to ??? in billymg's logotron
17:18 signpost reserve currencies end. it'd be upon the person claiming this one wont to say what's different.
17:19 billymg asciilifeform: is that a different item from yesterday's discussion?
17:19 bitbot Logged on 2023-03-12 16:07:02 asciilifeform[6]: billymg: pheature req : if yer bot aint logging #a, plox to disable, when you get a chance, link munging for same.
17:19 asciilifeform they end. then story repeats.
17:19 asciilifeform billymg: same
17:19 asciilifeform billymg: well, with the diff that pest logs also desynced (this has 0 workable solution until proper log-serving pestron is a thing, afaik)
17:20 asciilifeform ( the correct link ftr )
17:20 bitbot Logged on 2023-01-20 14:50:09 asciilifeform[4]: signpost: the crash in question strictly among the white folx with 'unreasonable' expectations (such as not living 7 to a room, or making use of hospitals, etc)
17:21 billymg right, other than just turning off the munging for nsa log links (which i'm doing now)
17:21 asciilifeform billymg: ty
17:22 billymg try now
17:25 * billymg went into the code today somewhat dreading having to load it into head again, sees comment: # For Other_Loggers (see config) -- "ah, nice, i made it a knob"
17:26 billymg !. uptime
17:26 bitbot billymg: time since my last reconnect : 1d 14h 26m
17:26 billymg might need to restart bot though, only seeing its echoes in the web logs, not in the irc client
17:29 signpost asciilifeform: what about the Saudis moving to settle oil transactions in non-USD currencies? also non-event?
17:29 * signpost obviously rooting for a particular outcome here, fully admit.
17:36 billymg !. uptime
17:36 bitbot billymg: time since my last reconnect : 0d 0h 3m
17:37 billymg ok, bot restarted and echoing in channel again, also nsa log links on www no longer converted to bitdash log links
17:42 billymg i don't fully buy the "east/west is the new red/blue" theory. not that i think china would somehow be a better master or anything, just that i can't see china (or muslims, or russians) looking at US elites and thinking "these are reasonable people, maybe we could work with them"
17:43 billymg i think perhaps at one point they tried that, and then the US responded in bad faith, as they do (sanctions, color revolutions, exporting inflation and degeneracy, etc.)
17:44 billymg why would anyone want to go into business with a party that acts the way the US does
17:44 billymg unless you absolutely have to, and they no longer do
