  • OK, I feel like many people here don’t know what this means.

    The US sells bonds to people. These bonds are promises to pay them back more in a certain number of years.

    The EU can’t demand payment for all of that debt. What the EU CAN do, is selling the bonds it already owns, flooding the market. And not buying more themselves.

    This would mean, that selling more bonds would become expensive for the US. Potentially they won’t find enough buyers to fund their government.

    Canada already threatened that (or started to do this, I don’t remember) once already at the start of Trumps term. This might have been a factor for him backing of his invasion fantasies the first time.
















  • Broo the amount of people pretending that they can’t get rice, beans, frozen veggies and some sauce, but McDonalds is cheaper and available is insane.

    “I have no choice, but to buy McDonalds every day” Lmao what? Unless you don’t have a kitchen, that is ridiculous. Even then, don’t they sell salads? Get the burgers for the calories you need and fill with salads until you aren’t hungry anymore.

    Edit: For relatively cheap and complete protein source consider Soy-granulate, sometimes called TVP. It also has a long shelf life since its dry.
