The president-elect wrote that the coalition of non-Western countries “should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy” if it backs a currency other than the U.S. dollar.

      I was going to say epic, but that starts with an E. If we want the word after it should start with an H. ‘The Heavy Depression’? That way we can start to name them like hurricanes. The next could be ‘The Imploding Depression’, followed by ‘The Jumbo Depression’.

          Yup. They’ll bleed us dry and build a moat around their Hawaiian compound.

          Looking at you, Zuck.
