So connect 4, but he can't count that high...

[–] FalschgeldFurkan@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine playing Connect 4, or any game for that matter, against him; halfway through the game he'd yell "STOP THE STEAL!!!!!"

Stop counting your points! Keep counting mine!

Connect 4 is still played in two dimensions tho...

That’s what THEY want you to think! Wake up sheeple!!!

I'm really starting to question the world and that dude from reddit was probably ahead of his time.

2 normal dimensions and one very very small one?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 93 points 1 day ago (9 children)

I wonder if this is the final nail that will decouple the world economy from the dollar.

But then, I suppose the plan was to decouple the world from the dollar all the time. Trump is clearly playing 5D connect-4.

If anything Trump was trying to prevent the change away from the petrodollar standard. That “currency” allows the US to run up debts because nobody wants the dollar to collapse and wreck everything traded in USD.

I don’t know about the quality of this site, so be skeptical: https://factually.co/fact-checks/foreign-policy/was-iran-threatening-to-abandon-petrodollar-275c36

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Iran has been out of the petrodollar system since the maximalist sanctions the US imposed in 1995. Sanctioned countries don't have a use for dollars.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump has singlehandedly destroyed the Untied States place in the world

Eh, he's pushed around and bribed to make certain decisions. He's the right man for the job of accelerating the decline of the empire and the beginning of the multi-nodal world, whether he and his followers know it or not, simply because he truly has no spine, no morals, no ideology, he just cares about his money.

I hope gas goes up $10 a gallon. You oil dependent suckers.

Get a bike

[–] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Except then you'll end up paying more for everything else too.

A lot less good for my disabled ass but go off I guess.

[–] maturelemontree@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago

I don't know why you are getting down voted. It is a harsh reality that yeah cars suck, but if there is a near instant harsh transition away from cars that will directly harm the more susceptible groups like disabled, elderly, and very low income families far far worse than the people who are the actual problem. I feel for you and hope you do alright in this shitty future.

[–] Syndication@lemmy.today 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish it were that simple. Unfortunately we still get screwed even if we don't drive, how else would food and supplies get delivered to shops? It's all dependent on fossil fuels... Everything is going to be more expensive. I guess this is what Trump supporters think "owning the libs" is.

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

That assumes the market just sits still when oil prices rise. It doesn’t.

Yes, higher fuel prices can raise shipping costs in the short term. But they also create strong incentives to shift to cheaper alternatives. When oil becomes expensive, companies move freight to rail, electrify delivery fleets, source goods more locally, and invest in more efficient logistics. Higher oil prices don’t just make everything permanently expensive. They change the market.

Price pressure pushes businesses toward transportation methods that use less or no fossil fuel, which becomes more competitive over time.

Markets adapt. That’s how price signals work.

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Topped off the tanks yesterday. Since I mostly bike each tank lasts a month or more depending on how many times I have to shuttle kids.

I’d love for gas to go to $10 a gallon. I5 would be a ghost town. No traffic, save the environment (kind of). Oh yeah!

So glad I got those solar panels, and an ev when Sleepy Joe was in charge. And I'm in a town small enough for most of my errands to be by bicycle. People are already having an affordability crisis, so this will hit them in the pocket, and they'll blame trumpy, who quite obviously is the sleepy one. Every tiny lever against the current administration, every one, counts, and we should keep pulling those levers.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Really regretting putting off that panel installation.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You can DIY relativlty inexpensivly, at least until it gets to the electrical interconnect.

Im eyeballing a home battery pack from ecoflow:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/ecoflow-delta-pro-ultra-smart-home-panel-2-review/

The newish one, newer than that article, can take 6k of input panels with it built in solar. If you go with that smart panel, it seamlessly integrates with your house. 15k for the battery + panel + install, 2-3k for the panels if you DIY the install, which will just be climbing on the roofs, drilling racks, and running an electrical cable to the battery pack.

It likely wont power your whole house, but 6k is a good start. You can also double up on the controller and install 12k of panels if you want, so on and so forth.

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

I kind of forgot about this angle. That rich libs in the middle classes are affected less than the lower classes that were duped. It’s all really shitty honestly.

[–] TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

That’s an ambitious perspective for a stick figure artist. I respect the effort.

Wait. So the president do control gas prices? It's so much different this time!

Silly question for the lemmy brain trust: what happens when most people are priced out of commuting?

Seems like that would inadvertently bring about a general strike.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Unlikely. Lemmy is, like, 50% doomers who think everything in their lives is hanging by a thread at any moment and that everyone else is the same.

The reality is that even the doomers have far more slack in their lives and options for alternatives than they realize. People will tighten their belts, bike or take transit, carpool, start private transit businesses, move closer to work, get jobs closer to home, move in with family/roommates, etc.
