JEFFERY ROSENBERG, FOR THE LAST TWO OR THREE DAYS I HAVE BEEN WONDERING IF WE ARE GOING THROUGH A PERIOD WHEN WE WILL BE MOVING AWAY FROM THE DOLLAR INTO ANOTHER FORM OF CURRENCY THAT IS IN STEP / ALIGNMENT WITH THE HIGH SCALE MONETARY ACTIVITY WE ARE SEEING EVERYWHERE… NAMELY TRILLION DOLLAR DEALS, THE DEALS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING NEGOTIATED IN THE BUILD OUT OF AI…. ETC…. THESE DEALS ATE WAGING BETS AT AMOUNTS THAT ATE UNPRECEDENTED…. HOW CAN THE USD KEEP UP OR ANY OTHER CURRENCY KEEP UP? UNLESS WE REDEFINE AND DRAMATICALLY REVALUE THE USD…OR DEVELOP AN ALTERNATIVE CURRENCY TO MATCH THE ACTIVITY IN THE MARKETS…. TO ILLUSTRATE MY POINT, I THINK OF GOING TO THE CASINO … NO ONE IS WALKING AROUND WITH BUNDLES OF GUCCI OR COACH SUITCASES OF COLD HARD CASH TO WAGING BETS, OR SPENDING AT HIGH END BOUTIQUES AND RESTAURANTS… THEY WILL EITHE CARRY A GOLD STANDARD CREDIT CARD, OR USE TOKEN AT THE SLOT MACHINE, OR CHIPS AT THE POKER TABLE…. REAL CASH IS TO BURDENSOME TO BE LUGGING AROUND TO WAGE HUNDRED, THOUSAND, OR MILLION DOLLAR BETS….
SO WHEN I SEE THESE AI INSPIRED MEGA-TRON DEALS HAPPENING, AND LAYOFF FOLLOWING, AND THEN PEOPLE ASKING WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IN THIS ENVIRONMENT WHERE THESE MAMMOTH DEALS NORMAL ACTIVITY WHILE SO MANY DONT KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING TO EARN A LIVELIHOOD, PAY THEIR MORTGAGE OR BUY A HOME WITH THEIR SIX, SEVEN AND MAYBE EVEN EIGHT DIGIT INCOME/ SALARIES…. AND HOW ARE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO EARN LESS THAN A SIX AND SEVEN DIGIT INCOME GOING TO FARE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT UNLESS SOMETHING WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE BEGINS TO HAPPEN… SO THESE FOLKS CAN SURVIVE AND THRIVE IN THIS FUTURE ENVIRONMENT
IN MY MIND WE WILL HAVE TO 1. REEVALUATE THE DOLLAR SO IT WOLL BE IN LINE WITH INFLATION POSSIBLE A DOLLAR WILL BE WORTH FIVE, TEN OR TWENTY DOLLARS…. OR WE WILL HAVE TO DEVISE AND DESIGN A NEW CURRENCY WHERE FOR EXAMPLE THE PENNY, NICKEL, DIME, QUARTER WILL BE MADE OBSOLETE. A TIME WHEN, LIKE A CHIP AT THE CASINO A SINGLE DOLLAR WILL BE WORTH $500, $5000 OR $10,000 USDs ….
AND WHEN THIS TOME ARRIVES PAYING TEN, TWENTY, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A CARTON OF EGGS WILL BE CONSIDERED AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYONE…. BECAUSE AGAIN, EVERYONE, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE SET AT A PRICE THAT IS CONGRUENT WITH INFLATION…. THE HIGHER VALUE AND QUALITY OF LIFE WE WILL BE LIVING….
MAYBE IT WILL REQUIRE ALL CHILDREN TO START MASTERING MULTIPLICATION, DIVISION AND ALGEBRA IN THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF THEIR EDUCATION AND LEARNING INSTEAD OF BASIC MATHEMATICS…. BASIC ADDITION AND SUBRACTION WILL BE EQUATED WITH DOODLING ON THE MARGINS OF THEIR TEXTBOOKS WHILE HIGHER ORDER MATH SKILLS LIKE ALGEBRA, GEOMETRY, AND TRIGONOMETRY WILL BE WHERE THE BAR IS SET…. WHERE LEARNING BEGINS…. WHERE BASIC EDUCATION STARTS…. THIS WILL CAUSE A REDEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF "HIGH INFLATION" IT WILL TAKE ON A NEWER MORE HOLISTIC AND NORMALIZED MAINSTREAM MEANING…. AGAIN BECAUSE THE STAKES HAVE NOT ONLY RISEN,… BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE "ASCENDED ON HIGH…."
THERE, WHEN THAT TIME ARRIVES,… WE WILL COMPARE TODAY'S VALUATION TO BE PALTRY COMPARED TO WHERE THE DIAL WILL SET IN THE FUTURE….
CAN YOU IMAGINE A DAY WHEN MCDONALDS WILL NO LONGER BE BOASTING ABOUT SELLING A BILLION BURGERS SINCE ITS INCEPTION… TO A FUTURE TIME WHEN THEY MOST BUSINESSES , SALARIED EMPLOYEES, ETC WILL BE BOASTING ABOUT MAKING A BILLION DOLLARS EVERYDAY OR HOUR OF THE DAY….
THAT'S LIKE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THE US IS Hemorrhaging EVERYDAY IN WARS SINCE OPERATION DESERT STORM…
