on a different note 🎶💵 ...
"that was just the proposal put up at the 1944 conference...
There was another plan that didn't get up, put by JM (Lord) Keynes an economist rather than a politician, which would not have had the US as the predominant global financial power and would have led to an entirely different rule-based #worldorder.
#Keynes's idea was known as " #Bancor", named after the new currency that he proposed. It wouldn't be a unit of money that people could carry in their wallets or, these days, tap with their phones, but a "unit of account" that would be used for transactions between governments and central banks. Its value would be fixed to gold, but adjustable, and all other national #currencies would be pegged to it."
edit "There have already been a few attempts at doing something like what Keynes proposed.
The IMF has an existing reserve asset called the SDR (special drawing rights) and in 2009, the governor of the People's Bank of China called for the SDR to be transformed into a "super-sovereign reserve currency" modelled on Keynes's Bancor to replace the US dollar.
That was opposed by the US and didn't get up, and China didn't have the clout then that it has now."

In this interview, Thomas Karat is joined by Yassamine Mather — Oxford scholar and razor-sharp political analyst — to break down the new wave of unrest across #iran, what’s driving it, and why Trump may be preparing the ground for “absolute change”
Let's talk about power, #propaganda, and the uncomfortable possibility that some actors are trying to engineer the outcome — using everything from sanctions and #currency #warfare to fake reels amplified by #media

We have a very urgent need to help Atha and @Kuniti_shino at @vulpinelabs make car loan and credit card payments that are well past due before the repo people catch up.
The car is needed for day to day runabout and safety. We need to find around $2000 to cover these needs ASAP for two beans who are stuck in cracks in the system and their health.

Currency devaluation in action: Back in January, 8 USD was worth about 8 EUR.
The Dollar has since fallen so far that $8 now equals only €6.90. Unfortunately this means I have to raise the USD prices for new Keila XS subscriptions from $8 to $9.50.
Day by day, service by service we can detach ourselves from the underlord grips.
TIL that I dont need google anymore for reliable avg exchange rate values of currency
