I think we could break thru exaggeration, spin and over-simplification if you could point to me one negative impact "de-dollarization" has had on the US economy.
That's generous of you, Cliff, allowing me to "break through" the log jam of "exaggeration, spin and over-simplification" by pointing out one negative impact of something that hasn't yet happened. Never let it be said that you set the bar too high.
Allow me to revert on that by a decade or so, as I'm off to the timeless place to ask Gandalf and Saruman for pointers on how to prove the future.
Phew! That was a really interesting decade.
Gandalf was busy doing card tricks at posh restaurants and told me to seek out Sauron for the answer to the end of the one currency:
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
