They are so tedious, our elite. Their homogeneity is totalitarianism with a trans face. No one but they and their woke acolyte cancel critters gives a damn, except to stay out of their way. But we are going to have to get up in their face, aren't we? I'm hoping we can drive the woke and transhuman ideologues and our elite particularly in the military, intelligence and health care into the sea....by about 2026.

Wealth seeks refuge in the USD in times of crisis. So whenever the global financial system is shaking, the USD gets stronger.

EUR will fall before USD, even if the problem is caused by Washington's recklessness.

It's not fair, it's not just, but so it is.

The monetary problems are worse than widely known, OTC Derivatives are at $632T.

Meanwhile -

40% of all Dollars $ ever created last 2 years.

World debt $305T

World GDP $100T

We and the world are in a deep hole. It's a Dark Age with Nukes yawning before us [of course nukes will be used in the next serious or global conflict, grow up].

We need a way out - and it's Energy Money. Money directly tied to Energy.

The Petrodollar's logical and now essential next step.

The way to solvency at least for America is Energy Money. The Petrodollar taken to the next logical step. It can take any form as long as the currency has value, as energy is bounded only by the amount of technology applied I suggest the KwH dollar, which *roughly* rounding down current US prices would become the $0.1 Kwh [Kilowatt Hours] Dime - it's roughly $0.13 or 13 cents now.

This finishes the journey of the petrodollar to a sane conclusion, and we can't print or pixel [create money with keyboard entries] forever.

As it happens we also need boundless energy for the nation and humanity to survive, never mind grow and prosper, and space won't be settled by bankrupts. Space won't be settled by non-Westerners either, they simply crush from family up and into the State Mandarinate anyone like Edison or Musk and have for millennia. That won't change.

The IoT internet of Things will also need electricity, MORE.

The value of money in real life and in policy isn't in it's scarcity of course but in abundance and utility, nothing could have more utility than energy money. The BTC and crypto money idiots - they are - were greedy and scammed. In real life policy for decades if not centuries is the value of money is abundance not 'scarcity'.

Making the conversion into KwH allows more possibilities and flexibility than say a literal petrodollar, everything we use needs electricity. A BOE - Barrel of Oil - is 1700 KwH.

A KwH .1$ Dime or if people do want instant inflation to pay debts KwH dollar also harnesses animal spirits [greed] and allows people to coin money that can't be counterfeited - electricity is this much volts and amps or it isn't - gets America out of the hole.

2022 American power generation 4116 Terawatt's. An increase to 5000 Terrawatt and we're...solvent.

The best part - if you generate more energy the 'inflation' of energy currency *bends the cost curve of energy down* - the rising energy costs since coming off the Gold Standard in 1971 are what destroyed all gains and what is harming us now with the current worthless fiat inflation.

Energy money 'inflation' lowers the cost of energy, causing the price of everything else to drop.
