Just printing the money.
Basically, since Nixon took us off the gold standard, the printing press has had no reigns on it other than the interest rate.
The inflation we see is a direct result of the value of our money shrinking. Remember when a postage stamp was 5 cents?
The 10 cent candy bar?
3.99 per pound NY Strip steaks?
Change back from your dollar at Mickey-D’s?
All that is a result of devaluing of the dollar.
Another top figure in China has suddenly disappeared
https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2023/09/15/another-top-figure-in-china-has-suddenly-disappeared-n578415
Excerpt:
Back in June China’s foreign minister, Qin Gang, suddenly disappeared. By mid-July he hadn’t been seen in weeks and rumors began circulating that he must have done something to displease or embarrass the communist party. Some suggested the married foreign minister was having an affair with a Chinese TV presenter who had also suddenly disappeared. Qin Gang was removed from his position about a week later. To this day, no one knows the precise nature of his career-ending mistake.
Now it seems to be happening all over again, this time with China’s Defense Minister, General Li Shangfu. No one has seen him in about two weeks.
As is the norm in China’s opaque system of government, little is known about why Li Shangfu, 65, has not been seen in public since Aug. 29. But a rush of reports in the Western media, as well as public comments by a top U.S. diplomat, have fueled growing speculation.
His future is of great interest in the West, which will be eager to see if Li might be the latest target of a crackdown by the increasingly powerful President Xi Jinping.
So what did happen to General Li? The Washington Post is reporting that he is under investigation for corruption.
.....It sounds like Gen. Li was lining his pockets. China is unlikely to ever say publicly why he was removed but, regardless, this is a big deal. Gen. Li’s title of defense minister isn’t really the equivalent to the US post of that name. However, he was one of just five state councilors to Xi Jinping, placing him at the very top of the the Chinese government. Qin Gang, the foreign minister who got dumped last month, was another one of those five state councilors. So whatever is happening in China is causing a great deal of disruption. It’s also another big embarrassment for Xi Jinping.
Mr. Xi still appears politically unassailable, with the Communist Party leadership, military top brass and security services packed with his loyalists. Even so, the sudden downfall of such high-ranking officials has exposed the pitfalls in a system so dominated by a single leader and has raised questions about Mr. Xi’s judgment because the officials in question had been promoted by him.
Su Tzu-yun, an expert on the People’s Liberation Army at the Institute for National Defense and Security Research, a think tank in Taipei that is funded by the Taiwanese government, said he was more than 90 percent sure that General Li had been removed from his post.
“For Xi Jinping, this is a loss of face, and in the Chinese military and across China, people will notice, even if they don’t say so openly,” Mr. Su said. “It’s not going to force him from power, but it will erode his prestige as ruler.”

Why do other countries value it and accept it?
Stellar set of memes!

What? I zoomed in and am not sure what to look for, or where that even is.
3 or 4 camouflaged fighter jets
I believe there are 6 fighter jets flying to the left
The recent expansion of BRICS indicates that they may not value it as much as they used to. Which is, of course, the ultimate plan of our WEF lovers, left and close to left. Remember the picture of Obama with the book, “the Post-America world”?
The dollar does still have value, but it’s diminishing. I mean, what backs the dollar? Our production - our REAL production of tangible goods. A little coercion from our military strength?
Of course, other currencies are also suffering due to over-spending as well.
Thanx a lot
Make that 8 Fighter Jets

But I was right that the Easy Bake was warming up.
Okay, thanks. I was able to see the camouflaged jets, but only by looking on TinEye and finding a sharper image. Even knowing where they are, they still don’t register well for me from the meme’s image - the more I zoom, the more pixelated it looks.
thanx a lot.
there’s a reason you’re #1
