    IDK. Seems like as long as the US Military holds a grip on the world, or continues being the mercenaries of Capital, the USD Hegemony will hold off any collapse that would affect the elites. The rest of us are probably fucked though.

      The power of the US military is what holds the dollar up, but the dollar also holds the power of the US military up. A lot of our war machine relies on the importation of raw materials that will be harder to acquire should the dollar depreciate.

        hmm, idk. I don't think there's enough space between Capital's interests and the strength of our military for that to be much of a concern. I mean, you and I will be fucked, but our soldiers are still disposable and Lockheed's CEO is still going to be sipping on top shelf martinis.... If our military's grip collapses we're looking at much more than just the US, we're talking about the all the colonial powers that take advantage of it as well. #OneBigEvilUnion

      Yeah, but as US hegemony weakens, it makes sense that at some point that would affect the dollar also. Not sure where that tipping point is though.
