re: #75 redc1c4

i don’t see an upside there for us, but i’m not an expert…… %-)

Charles has made it clear he does not want LGF to become a portal for doomer porn… which is good. However, I’m finding it increasingly difficult to think about the future without seeing some very real difficulties emerging (for everyone.)

The current G20 meeting is just one example of where image will likely take precedence over substance, and not see some difficult choices being made (thus my question on reserve currencies.)

As an American I know my life depends upon our trade with many other nations, and we do this favorably (for us) by being the dominant military and economic nation on Earth. That however is fading, especially compared to the days when I was a child (when no one outside the Soviet Bloc would even question the role of the $.)

Times are a changing… and I’m trying to figure out how I should change (I have some large decisions coming.)
