I’m watching Putin’s speech at the BRICS summit. The economics of the world is about to change and the American government is about to shutdown. Ukraine is about to be the least of America’s worries.

Mr Ruble-Nosedive shouldn't give talks about economy.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

He didn’t take your advice.

And that is why the Ruble is still plummeting.

Well, that says a lot about you, but nothing at all about actual things happening in reality.

Are you drunk?

I’m watching Purim’s speech at the BRICS summit. The economics of the world is about to change and the American government is about to shutdown. Ukraine is about to be the least of America’s worries.

Are you psychic?

I give you credit for bravery, my friend, I wouldn't be anywhere near where you are without satellites broadcasting /s around me.

People take life too seriously. Someone posting today on here will probably bite it before tomorrow. We should enjoy each other while we have the chance.

The data suggests otherwise...

The world bank? Now add the other 40 countries that want to join including Saudi Arabia. When the petrodollar goes, so will that GDP.

[-] morry040@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Ok - here's what it looks like if you were to group the GDP of each country into regions. If we group all of the regular trading partners and allies into "The West", they comprise 58% of global GDP. BRICS and the 137 other countries would be 41%.

I didn’t know that GDP is constant and can’t change. Surely nothing will change in the future. The PetroYuan is definitely not a possibility if Saudi Arabia joins BRICS. And that definitely won’t hurt America’s economy, reducing it’s GDP. America will always dominate the world. /s
