Currency outflows refer to the movement of financial assets out of a country, often due to factors like political or economic instability. This phenomenon can lead to a depreciation of the nation's currency, as decreased demand reduces its value.
investopedia.com
Mechanisms of Currency Outflows:
Capital Flight: Investors may transfer assets abroad to safeguard against domestic economic uncertainties, reducing demand for the local currency and leading to depreciation.
Trade Deficits: When a country imports more than it exports, foreign currency is used to pay for these imports, increasing currency outflows.
Foreign Investments: Domestic entities investing in foreign assets contribute to currency outflows, affecting the exchange rate.
Impact of Currency Outflows:
Currency Depreciation: Increased outflows can lead to a weaker currency, making imports more expensive and potentially fueling inflation.
Interest Rates: To attract foreign capital and stabilize the currency, central banks may raise interest rates, impacting borrowing costs domestically.
Foreign Exchange Reserves: Countries might utilize foreign exchange reserves to manage excessive currency depreciation resulting from significant outflows.
Understanding currency outflows is crucial for comprehending a nation's economic health and the factors influencing exchange rate dynamics.

{quote} A lot of farmers from rural farmlands in US voted for him. They are reaping the seeds they have sown. No one knows better than farmers how that works.
We are due for inflation, We are do for even higher interest rates. The idiot bragged on the interest rate drop. That's only because people are fleeing the stock market. And are buying bonds. The demand is driving interest rates lower. The market is setting those rates lower. Its not a good outlook. Consumer sentiment is dropping. Cars and pickups just got a price hike. It's all coming to a head.

I asked "how many non government workers are needed to support each government worker. The multiple is 10 to 20.
The latest I got is 30,000 government workers fired. The multiple is 300,000 to 600,000 non government workers. Minimal is 330,000 workers may lose their job shortly. With more to come.

The exact number of non-government workers needed to support one government worker varies significantly depending on the specific government role, industry sector, and economic conditions, but a commonly cited estimate is around 10 to 20 non-government workers to support a single government employee, meaning that for every government worker, there are 10 to 20 people in the private sector providing services that indirectly contribute to their work.
Key factors influencing the number:

  1. Government job type:
    A government worker in a highly technical field like engineering might require more specialized support from private sector professionals than someone in a more administrative role.
  2. Geographic location:
    The availability and cost of services in different regions can impact how many private sector workers are needed to support a government employee.
  3. Economic conditions:
    During economic downturns, the number of non-government workers supporting each government employee might be higher due to increased unemployment and reliance on government services.

He was the accelerator for sure. Over the past 7 yrs. The tax cuts did not pay for themselves as promised. They have cost 2.666T per year on average. They expire this year. He wants to renew them and add another 4.5T. The debt now it 36.6T. 18.6 of that is what the tax cuts added. This year at the expiration it will be an additional 2.666T more. That gets us to 39T. More if the unemployment rate rises, rate increase.

Well, he has a stellar record of 6 bankruptcies. He is going for the 7th. It's going to be so huge the likes of which no one has seen before and of course it's all Biden's fault.

The market dropped nearly 7%. A 20% one may be where the outflows turn. -20% is considered a bear market. 19.9/10% a correction. Near 20% usually springs back. With the exception being the Black Friday like crashes. We may continue to see outflow (usd pressure) until closer to the 20% mark. Inflation has not equalized with the out flow pressure. When it does a hard EU drop would be in order. Bond demand may lessen up in the 20% area. Stock investors come back. The s/p may be eyeing -5,000. See chart 4,917

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. It took the Germans about 6 weeks to lose it all. We are at the 6 week mark now. If its all lost, it's a reset. It starts over from scratch. No debt, no law, No law means we own nothing legally, land, home car, pension, social security, etc. It may also bring a new currency. Meaning any wealth in the currency may be 0. If they get what they asked for. They dont realize it. 0 dollar value has happened before in the U.S. Just ask the confederates. If its lost, all rights have to be fought for again. The guys with the followers make the law. Those guys may be across the ocean now. But hey the dice were tossed.

I thought fool me twice was about Trump getting elected again which fits.
In the name of cutting and savings, he is destroying various institutions in other to centralize the gov which he is in charge of. With the checks and balances gone, he can finally become the dictator he always wanted to be and do what all dictators do and create an elite ruling class of people he chooses. Totally a Putin style of governance. After that, he will build it back up with what will keep the system as such. So far he is successful at it.
