What If the Dollar Falls?

The dollar is always worth a dollar. You need to start getting mad at the people who are restricting supply. But that actually requires you getting your fat lazy ass off the couch and we can't have that can we?

A grain of sand has always been worth a grain of sand.

You need to stop wandering in circles.

The dollar is worth less than it was. A lot less since 1960.
In 1960, a gallon of gasoline was $0.30. Today, it is over $4 a gallon.
In just a few years, the dollar has lost half it's value.

I looooove wacky conspiracy theories.

FWIW, IF the dollar did fail, all the low hanging fruit like you, ptif, would fall to the ground to rot. Survival of the fittest and all that.

Oh, you think having a gun will allow you to rob middle-class families if not murder them? Think again, dumbass; most of those middle-class families are armed. LOL

Bill Clinton sold us down the river. Dubya threw the oars overboard. Obama drilled holes in the bottom of the boat. Our most critical manufacturing is all done in China. It's suicidally stupid.

No, it isn't.

Let's talk critical products: food and housing.

Food is manufactured domestically. The United States doesn't import a lot of food. We EXPORT a lot of food though.
Lumber, concrete and portland cement is manufactured domestically. We farm our own trees and mill them into lumber ourselves.
We mine our own ore and smelt it into various metals ourselves, including copper, iron, aluminum, silver, and gold.
We drill our own oil and refine it into gasoline and other products ourselves, including most plastics.
We mine our own coal and natural gas. We generate our own electrical power and distribute it on lines we built.
Even wallboard and the gypsum it's made from comes from domestic sources.
Textiles are made domestically and in many other nations, including China. We grow our own cotton and wool, harvest it, spin it, and make our own cloth. We even use glass as a fiber source.
Most glues and adhesives we use are made domestically.
Most fireworks you see are made domestically.
Most electronic components come from Japan and South Korea, with Taiwan specializing in custom chips. Stock microprocessors used in the States (such as Intel and AMD processors commonly found in PCs) are made in Mexico or domestically. Quite a bit of memory is made domestically (Idaho, no less!).
Displays for computers and TV sets are made in Japan.
Singapore also makes a lot of electronic components.

China is big on mechanicals, such as circuit boards, but they are hardly the largest supplier of those!

Now...care to specify what YOU consider a 'critical product'?

False.

Though having the most fertile farming land on earth in the Imperial Valley of California, the left declared war on California's farmers leading to a reality where most avocados and strawberries now come from Mexico rather than the once golden state.

In 2021 - the last year statistics were available, 77% of fresh fruit vegetables were imported.

None of this is accurate.

The USA imports 39% of our lumber - mostly from Canada. Now this is less than half - but still significant.
