Obama should have spent even more. But the US is a fricking weird anomaly that normal rules of economics don't apply to. When the US Congress peepees around threatening to default on the debt, treasury yields go down because "m-m-muh uncertainty, better buy a billion dollars of the safest assets in the world, US Treasuries... "
If your biggest geopolitical rival is willing to trade you solar panels and real steel to fix your collapsing, busted-butt bridges in return for paper dollars (that you, and you alone, can print from thin air, mind) then you do that trade all day every day and twice on Sunday.
Argentina is not a global hegemon and can't print petrodollars, so it's constrained by the rules of ordinary reality.
If your biggest geopolitical rival is willing to trade you solar panels and real steel
Real steel
Neighbor what? Chinese steel is crap and their QC is nonexistent. Literally just lies on paper. No one is building any bridge or building out of chinesium (except China who's buildings start to crumble after a decade).

Actually that is sort of a good counterpoint. I dunno, not steel, then: some other unprocessed commodity that it's harder to ruin with crappy quality control.
The point is if people will trade you real shit for IOUs with 0% interest, it's a great time to go shopping and make it all back later by increasing productivity using that shit.

Absolutely nothing, if the year is 2002 and you're a 14 year old Ron Paul fanboy who's never held a job or taken a single economics class but knows everything about the world economy.
Yes even the people who downloaded monkey pictures for 100k are more intelligent than, “let's print more money for free Chinese steel!” Lmao. Honestly I think flat earthers and the ufo disclosure people are a step above too
Many years ago I worked in an industrial setting where we bought the same small motor from 2 other factories, 1 in Chinxland and 1 in neurodivergentmayoland, identical specs and blueprints. Chinese batches, maybe 10 out of a 30 motor pallet would work when delivered, the rest were scrap (completely fricked, out of tolerance in every possible way, bad steel, etc). German pallets would usually have 1 or 2 motors that needed resealing and would then work. Chinx bad.
Tbf that was like 25 years ago so maybe they suck less now
in the audio world Chinese used to sell crap and audiophiles would get German or American only audio equipment. Then the chinese started cloning them and eventually they started getting really good at it and started going more up market.
As the other thread said you get what you pay for. When you pay good money for stuff you get good stuff. The only problem is as soon as there's a good Chinese company making $$ upmarket then these other chinese ones come and clone them with shitty QC. And then people on Amazon cant distinguish between Linsoul Audio Comnany from Shenzhen Yinyoo Energy Technology Co, so their reputation still sucks

The phrase "a rising tide raises all ships" does not translate well to Mandarin. It's all about the race to the bottom.
I stan capitalism more than most, but it's hard not to see the flaw here, which is that the whole thing only works well if information is reliable and available. Not that any other system would be better.

Idk I think it's a solveable probem. if amazon invests more in catching fake reviews then it'd be sufficient IMO.
They have gotten noticeably better at banning people who change products for reviews. They just need to pin the original product description to the review itself and you'll see a difference.
google search results used to be littered with SEO and they massively reduced it. Amazon will do the same eventually. Maybe hire a Reddit jannies to do real work for spam.
There is a Chinese forklift company I nearly worked for. I asked a few end users their thoughts on the product.
One guy had bought two lifts. The same model. Ordered at the same time. They had different peddles, the hydraulic lines were different (paper thin on both) and the steering wheels were completely different.
Would have mad a killing being the regional rep when Toyota got shut down by the epa but wouldn't have sleep well selling that shit product

Because it fricking is. Eurodollar however is a real thing - that is a need for a large body of US dollars to facilitate international trade, because whenever you exchange currency X to Y you do it by buying/selling dollars. This includes oil trade, but it applies just as much to baby shoes trade or motorcycle trade.
Yes, Chinese attempts to replace the USD are extremely r-slurred - especially since they interfere with their currency to keep it low compared to the USD.
The dollar doesn't get to be the world reserve currency if you start bombing it. It has to actually be managed well enough to prevent switching. If you lose the strength of the dollar, the US looses global supremacy.
