US is the world's largest oil producer and gas producer. The US imports very little energy and what it goes import is really used as part of energy training. The vast majority of US electricity is Coal, Gas and Nuclear and there is no threat to that at all. Do not confuse shutdown economics with natural abilities and production.

@b.griffin317 Have you no headphones?

You can try and convince yourself of all of that.

11% interest in Russia will not address the underlying conditions in its economy.

@U.S. Grant Let me guess you think that gold back currency is better.

Crypto has value but trying to establish what that value is will be a difficult task. It is about to become a trading currency for many in the developing world as they will need a functioning currency of sorts.

@ElementaryWatson-123 Supply chain issues are the driving force behind inflation. It has nothing to do with QE. The reason the US uses QE is because too much of its currency is used on a global scale and not enough is available for internal economic markets. The US banking system on several occasions has had a shortage of liquidity when pressure is brought on them. That QE is not used to prop up the US system but is used to try and stabilize the world. If the US was to move away from being the world reserve currency that would bring better long term economic benefits.

Chinese economy has property exposure of about 50%.

The US is going to use an incremental approach every so often that will amount to higher interest rates. So they may get interest to 3 or 4% and then a 2% jump will probably happen.

There is this thing call head phones. You should give them a try.

In part but what many leave out is the fact that the US uses QE not to pay debts or to create economic growth that is just the story that is put out there. The reason the US does this is due to the fact there is not enough currency in the US economy because the dollar is being sucked out of the US. So some of that QE is used to help keep the international dollar demand well funded but also to ensure that there is a supply within the economy. World stability would collapse if there was not enough US dollar out there.

@jbtechcon7434 The money that the boomer have keep bangs and financial institutions healthy in cash. And Boomers tend to be consumers in terms of essentials like their homes, healthcare and looking after family members. The reason why the US does not have a elderly care crisis like many other countries is down to the fact the elderly in the US have good retirement funds.

No country can save it's from its demographic problems with immigration.

@manishm9478 US business debt is low over all.

US is not an export economy.

Nope. Nothing to do with immigration. US Birth rate has remained steady for many years with about 4 million babies being born in the US every year.

Then they will have to increase interest rates and destroy the most productive parts of their economy. The political unrest that generates will be enormous. They have a choice to make.

If Europe increases its interest rates it will impact many of its key demographics. And cause political unrest and economic instability.

US money printing has not caused inflation. The current inflation cycle is due to the economic shutdowns in the US and external to the US. In other words inventory is down which is the supply but the demand is high. Baby formula is the most obvious one right now that everybody can see. There is a demand to feed babies and not enough food. The main reason the US prints money is because too much of the US dollar gets used internationally in an attempt to stabilize the world and then not enough is available to the US economy. When people as well use the term growth in the US what they are really talking about is US government economic growth not real economic growth. GDP does not capture all of the economic activity in the US.

What crap are you talking about?

Some states are going to get crushed while others will prosper. It has always been that way and will continue. US debt tends to be internal and is stable and long term. Most of the government debt is nothing more than an accounting exercise and most of it is not hard cashed based. There is still going to be challenges in the US economically but that will appear small and insignificant to the issues faced in Europe and Asia. Everybody in the US thinks the great depression was bad but forget in Europe they had wars that killed tens of millions of people and the same is true of Asia during that period. With a European economic crisis on top of that.

Yes there is going to be a period in which easy capital is not available. He never said that was not going to happen. He never said everything was going to be easy.

99% of Americans agree with one other and are not hardcore extremists that the media would make out. Most Americans do not sit around all day thinking about politics in issues such as gender and race. The vast majority of black Americans and white Americans work with one other every single day with zero issues. Most Americans want a police force. The US economy is under performing because it is acting as world policeman and trying its hardest to create a stable world but is probably losing that battle. At some point America is going to realize it cannot police the world and will give up.

Research companies that have lower debts, cash on hand, generate free cash flow, produce products that people buy and have a long hard track record. Diversification is key so using bonds, stocks, mutual funds, cash in bank, small bit of gold and paying attention to your portfolio. And last but not least you know best what to do with your money nobody even with fancy qualification can tell you exactly what to invest in. If you want to educate yourself look for the book "intelligent Investor" that was written in 1948 and is based on an older book that was written before the great depression.

@paperandmedals8316 I do not think the average person thinks the US is going to be overtaken by China that is a fear that the media keeps pushing.

The US will control that foreign money coming in and as such will drive demand even higher and the US will be picking the most high quality investments. It will not be a free-for-all. The biggest impact will be when the US dollar is not the world reserve currency is that US wealth will grow. Right now the US has to use QE because too many dollars go abroad in an attempt to create international stability. Certain special partners of the US will still get access and do well. One of the main reasons why the UK left the EU was due to the instability of the EU market place.

99% of Americans believe in America and they all get along in their everyday life. Most Americans believe in their currency and social structure.

@ElementaryWatson-123 It is 100% supply chain related. Machine parts, tools, raw materials, energy, labour, logistics and production output have all been restricted for 2 full years. That means now as a buyer if you go out and try to purchase anything it is in short supply. Shutdown economies on a global scale for a year and then restricting them for a further year has caused the supply of everything to be restricted. You simply cannot get anything in the quantities that pre pandemic supplies. Even the number of houses has dropped because the number being developed has imploded. Every country on earth right now is facing these issues. The idea that you think this has been caused by printing up money is ridiculous and it really is just feeding into your anti federal reserve mentality. Food world wide now is at levels that will cause famine. Several countries are dangerously low on fuel supplies. The market for fertilizer has fallen of a cliff and pesticides through a combination of regulations and manufacturing is at very high prices.

He has a website I am sure you could contact him and give him feedback about his videos. He may not even be aware of the issue of sound.

World inflation is being caused by supply and demand issues from shutdowns. Australia will face that at some point due to the fact Australia has to import many goods and services. Australia should be using its natural resources to build its own manufacturing base that is used to supply its own economy with some excess then being used for exports. There is nothing worse than being an export economy that is based on raw resources.
