I think the "fred" sock sounds a bit less like Mr. P because he ran it through his Azari impression first. 50 or 60 more of these socks and eventually it will take you more than two posts to figure it out.

YGBFKM.

I meant to give you enough rope to hang yourself, but holy shit. You tied the knot and tested the trap for me.

Where to start...

That map seems to imply that the future belongs to the Stalinists and the Maoists.

[noddy]

well their governments have all the money, even if the people dont

still, i think its out of date - the usa should be a very dark brown now because its closing in on 100%.

Worrying about the US debt is a bit overwrought. Yes, one of our most valuable commodities is the faith the world has in our markets, but there is also the fact that if we cannot pay back our creditors, what are they going to do about it?

[noddy]

indeed, what *are* they going to do about it.

better brush up on your south american and asian history and see what the west did to them, then hope its only that bad.

maybe i was being overly dramatic - maybe i wasnt, sure is going to be interesting.

cant say i have any recent historical examples of something the size and power of america going broke - russia is the closest and thats hardly a fairy tale.

i do see chinese confidence and the ability to enjoy shaudenfraude at america eating its own rules in your outcomes... especially if it isnt explicit and public - the current CEO's just answer to new shareholders and boards of directors, the politicians still answer to the same CEO's... same same, but with different hands on the leash.

it has been cute for you to take freds side
