"Yeah, for example China's position of overwhelming strength vs. weak little USoA meant that China's wages have risen by an order of magnitude and their technology catapulted into the present century, building them in to the world's largest economy."
Just a subtle subterfuge against dollar if I had to guess
In fact, I live in Australia. So when that poster said "Australia in particular has been subject to unprecedented economic coercion and manipulation by China. It's not pretty." they were completely wrong. Australia suffers far more from our own policies than from anything China could do to us short of military action.
2. I just made a top-level comment saying "don't buy the dollar". You don't need to analyse my comment history to figure out where I stand on the dollar. Or you could just ask - I think it is a a dog of an asset and managed by incompetent bureaucrats who do a lot of harm to their own society.
I'm not saying cash is so terrible that a nervous, confused and delicate grandma can't just eat the losses for security. I mean, sure. If you think you're probably going to lose money anyway then <10% a year is better than >10%!
But a 25% allocation by default is just giving money to wealthy men wearing suits. They already own suits, they don't need it. Keep the wealth. Donate it towards lobbying for Georgism instead of new wars, maybe, if you feel like burning a few % on a cause.
