Will America experience Hyperinflation one day or never?

Imagine paying trillions just for a loaf of bread or a quadrillion to buy a house.

Horrifying possibility similar to what happened to Germany and Hungary and Zimbabwe.

Not in the short term because the dollar being a reserve currency guarantees a certain stability

Definitely a possibility in the medium/long term

@Elessar
The US Dollar guarantees nothing because the US Dollar is not based on anything that guarantees it's value.

Elessar · 31-35, M

@swirlie Exactly like every other currency. So long as other countries keep a reserve in USD the value won't fluctuate much. When they'll do it's game over

@Elessar
Well, what you're saying is not correct either. The US Dollar is not a stable currency because it is a fiat currency. That is why the US Dollar is on it's way out and is in the process of being replaced as the stability of the USA spirals deeper into decline as evidenced by the spiraling US National Debt load, now reaching $39 Trillion and impossible to ever pay off with current US GDP potential.

@swirlie It's been a fiat currency for long and as I said virtually every other major currency also is, nobody had an issue with that until 2025.

It's going to be replaced because in ~11 month the USA has thrown 250yrs of diplomacy and stability in the fire. Add to that the fact that the world is also moving away from fossil fuels, which is the main reason why countries keep a USD reserve.

@Elessar
Why would you think that the world's move away from fossil fuels is the main reason why countries keep a USD reserve? 🤔

Elessar · 31-35, M

@swirlie The opposite. The world moving away from fossils has less incentive to keep an USD reserve. Trump's economic f*ckup accelerates the process

@Elessar
If it's the opposite, then why did you say that the world's move away from fossil fuels is the main reason why countries keep a USD reserve? ... 👇🏻

Add to that the fact that the world is also moving away from fossil fuels, which is the main reason why countries keep a USD reserve.

Elessar · 31-35, M

@swirlie "which" in that period refers to "fossil fuels" not to "moving away from fossil fuels"

@Elessar
But that's not what you wrote. What you are stating now is the exact opposite of what you actually wrote.

Elessar · 31-35, M

@swirlie That's exactly what I wrote. It's not my problem if you don't understand valid correct grammar

@swirlie Call me back when you'll have figured out how "which" works in English

swirlie · 31-35

@Elessar
Your sentence structure needs some work, Elessar. What you've demonstrated is what happens when one tries to jam two separate thoughts into one sentence.

Elessar · 31-35, M

@swirlie My sentence structure is perfectly valid

@swirlie Misleading ≠ incorrect. It's perfectly valid. Go back to school

swirlie · 31-35

@Elessar
I'm already in school, Elessar. What else would you like me to teach you?

Elessar · 31-35, M

@swirlie Clearly not in one that teaches English grammar.

As for the question, English grammar.

Imagine being schooled by someone for whom it is a third language
