Governments always dominate money supply even when a coin was worth its face value it was ONLY minted by the Governments and they got to decide what money is allowed to be used by the public and for trade. This system dates back to the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece and Egypt, even further back Sumerian empire, the dawn of humans living together in a large state. So we can think that Governments are gaining too much power but they always had that power.

Confusing comment, US bases is a benefit to EU economy becasue they have to pay for EU services and manpower with US tax money. That is just a net gain at no cost for Europe

Nothing is autonomous you need servers, network and large manpower to run it. Software, offices, network security 24/7 it is not cheap. You need engineers to build and maintain it all.

 @abdiganiaden Are you a bot or a real person? Your commend makes no sense. What has that got to do with Russian owned western bonds?

During the Soviet Union the communist powers feared a large road network would threaten stability and risk enabling opposition forces organizing so they focused on rail as it could be shut down pretty easily. However roads and rail are equally important today, you need rail for urban transport and heavy freight but you critically need roads for low urban areas, low and middle size businesses and most importantly expansion. You really need roads for expansion as the first are always the people looking for opportunity, to start a new business to live somewhere cheaper as prices rise, this is true and proper expansion and you must have food roads for this or else you just end up with urban centers that keep growing instead of a nation expanding equally all over the nation. This is a problem in western Europe the lack of ability to expand from the ground up and instead focusing on urban transport, dictated population growth from the top down and large industry choosing where to expand. This however, limits growth very greatly.

@lucascheidegger1625 A business owner still costs him money when you pay in cash because the owner needs to count it, and get to a bank to deposit it so there is a cost it might just not be that obvious. If a baker needs to spend 30 minutes a week dealing with cash he has 30 minutes less to make products so the cost might be higher or pay for a money pickup service like BRINKS or whatever that is not free.

GDP per capita is not accurate representation, if a country has large wealth in resources (Middle east, Russia, Netherlands), in large companies that park wealth in the country (Ireland, UK) or very high level of inequality (South America countries, South Africa) You end up with GDP per capita that does not tell the true story of what life is really like. In the case of Italy, USA, France, China, South Korea, you get to see a very even spread of these economic forces so that no single force has enough to tip the balance. Germany has heavy weight of manufacturing, France has very high levels of Government spending as part of GDP like 60% or whatever, and USA has money from around the world going to Wallstreet but the rest of all 3 economies is very balanced so GDP per capita might be more honest the other countries.

VERY well made video on a touchy subject. I have one statistic that is more positive, in France around 21% of Christians attend Church on Sunday while 23% of Muslims attend Friday prayer service. Now, I am not sure how legit the numbers are that I found so might need to find better data but if it is accurate then the general religious public at least in terms of attending service seems pretty even between Christians and Muslims in France. But the data could be bad so good data might look very very different.

Regarding recycling I must say that recycling electronics for rare earths like magnets requires 1 of 2 methods, an army of poor people to take apart the electronics by hand so maybe ship the items to Africa but commit to buying the raw materials back? Or #2 burnt the item and melt it down, this is very pollution creating process so most likely not going to go well in Europe so yeah, recycling is not looking very likely.

Nonsense. The west has no interest in liquidating bonds at the moment as it would then need to absorb the shortfall so a large drop in money or forced to auction off the equal amount in new bonds with both higher interest rates and pressure in the bond markets.... Yeah not going to happen. Maybe in a year or two form now when interest rates are falling and bond auctions are stable we shall see. Anyway, if you want to give Ukraine money there are better ways to do it then this complicated process, liquidating bonds, giving the payout to Ukraine but then having to auction off new bonds to make up for the shortfall in debts? That is just stupid.

@abdiganiaden Ah got it, thanks.

@reggie69. Japan and China are not ditching anything they are selling bonds to fund their stimulus programs to save their economies, China just premised another 135 billion to save the housing market so that means either issuing new debt or selling assets.... That has nothing to do with faith in US bonds. Keep in mind that Japan has almost 2x more debt than US and China has at least the same debt as US so your conspiracy has no legs.
