So I'm no finance/money guy but it seems pretty obvious that people aren't going to want to tie themselves to something that can be taken away/used as a weapon like the US dollar is.

After the events of the past two years, I'm increasingly of the opinion that they are supremely dumb.
I think it's arrogance, narcissism, and entitlement. At least, those are the things that are making them this stupid. Imagine how they'd freak the fuck out if they ever had to do any real labor.

I remember watching a Richard Wolff vid about how he went to all the same classes with Yellen and managed to come to the opposite (but correct) conclusions. How fucking thick is Janet Yellen? Or is she just depraved?
The key thing to keep in mind is that her job is primarily to sell the system, not to understand it.
