102 --- 167 --- 195 The U.S. $ had BRAND LOYALTY for all sorts of reasons like the USA having THE BIGGEST ECONOMY now eclipsed by China (acting as a world bank for Latin America + Africa + Central Asia) + Hollywood + Disney Land + THE DOMINANCE of U.S. technology before Samsung, Hua Wei, Linux + U.S. GOOD WILL because of their Peace Corps + THE European MARSHAL PLAN + the USA "refloating" the Japanese economy after the war with Japan. THE STRENGTH OF THE U.S. STOCK MAEKETS. ALL THIS ALLOWED for THE PRIMACY of both THE U.S. DOLLAR + THE PETRODOLLAR. Today, the USA is synonymous with DYSTOPIA: a politically rudderless country whose actions undermine the value of the dollar that puts it on an "irremediable" DOWNWARD SLOPE making it MORE RISKY - by the day - to hold onto the U.S. $. Its "product life cycle" is ON THE DECLINE: it's NOW TIME to let go of it as the USA sinks into ECONOMIC RUIN after "DECADES" of SO MANY UNJUSTIFIED, UNPROVOKED, UNNECESSARY WARS - instead of making THE UNITED NATIONS WORK. :D Ken, Toronto, CANADA
