No don’t stop. This is the kind of nerd shit I’ve missed!

China needs buyers. If the US stopped buying from China, it would be the same situation in China. Their economies are so intertwined that a war between them, even just financially, would ruin both

The US pays it’s bills. China defaulting devalues it’s currency, making payment necessary in dollars. The US has a hard limit on how much yuan it will exchange for dollars to prevent a run on the currency. China cannot get enough dollars to pay the bill, while the US is the one country in the world to which China can’t just say “lol no.” Assets will be forfeit or one sided deals favoring the US will come out of this. The devaluation of the primary currency of a major trade partner means their goods cost less and their interest increases

I guess you missed the news story about China defaulting on $1 trillion in US debt?

The gray area where I live is that streaming is not piracy. I didn’t pay for it, but I also didn’t retain a copy.

Putlocker and Wootly were my go-to spots in college because I wouldn’t get a piracy warning from my internet provider.

If there are better places these days, please let me know. I miss seeing new movies the same day they hit the digital marketplace
