      Interesting video, a lot of positives for the USA. Interesting the % of their GDP relies on international trade vs other countries.

      Transportation of grain on the efficient Mississippi River is 1/12 vs on ground. No surprise.

      The map showing where solar and wind power is feasible will make the greenies lose it.....

        Great video, thanks for sharing. I agree with so much of it but other parts were news to me. It has changed some of my thinking on the longterm strength of the US dollar.

            It is always amusing to hear and read so many of the uninformed analysts and people cheerleading the downfall of the US and the US dollar, while they completely ignore demographics, trade, energy, military etc. Many of the same people who are also cheerleading the end of the world due to CO2 in fact, and being wrong continually never seems to bother them in the least.

                Lol that's fair. The alternative is metals and i can't take it across borders, Wal-Mart won't take it, and FDR set the precedent making ownership illegal. There's no alternative. When/if there's loss of confidence in currency, guns and ammo will be worth more along with physical food.

                  There are consequences for weaponizing the reserve currency. For example the IMF is advocating for a cryptocurrency based on the SDR with a gold component. EU is advocating for an alternative to USD. China has created the Petro Yuan with convertability into gold. Alternatives to SWIFT are being established as well as currency swap agreements. Putin is recently quoted as saying, "We are not abandoning the USD, the dollar is abandoning us." The Saudis are also entertaining the notion selling oil in other currencies. The hifive handshake between MBS and Putin at the G20 shocked the world. The US sphere of influence is rapidly decreasing.

                  Do whatever you like. If the fed rachets up interest rates and maintains QT the dollar may rally for a while.

                    I agree with you on the end date of the dollar is coming. Think we just differ on how it approaches.

                          I like that people think the $USD will be replaced as the reserve currency. This may happen, but wont anytime soon. In the meantime, the greenback will be worth holding and I will continue to look for US assets as most of the rest of the world is. The 10 yr treasury yield is back down below 3% which indicates that the hot money is still flowing back to the US. China needs the US but the US don't need China. Not even to hold that giant debt.

                            Skip to the 39 minute mark and hee highlights the economic and infrastructure reasons that Alberta and Sask should join the US. Also mentions that due to Quebec's actions it's opened the door for any province to leave Canada ....
