This truly does not make sense, WHO would pay this for a 7600/3060 (equivalent). What is going on here?

The steam machine price, Um.....

I guess they just don't actually gon' sell it?

Unless they're doing a crazy price upfront, and then drop it "BIG SALE" by $xxx,  and be like, get it before it's gone?


Honestly don't understand, you can build a 9070xt PC for $1400.

Ok, so you got alot of these cycles saying, HEY xxxx business will improve, xxxx business will get worse.

EconomiP4 says::

It's all going to be bad.

WHY,   anytime you have a recession/contraction/depression/all the sions,  DISCRETIONARY SPENDING FALLS.

What is the difference between 2026 and 1973.

WELLL,  a MUCH LARGER proportion of capital and markets ARE  Discretionary.

This is the case because we've long-since maxed out the Necessities.  So all growth sectors/perceived wants are in discretionary.

Nintendo/GPUs/AI/eLeCtriK cars.   

<NONE OF WHICH> are <NECESSARY>

 <ALL of WHich> in <A BUBBLE>



The best any sector can do is HANG ON.  Outside of protected sectors such as agriculture/energy/medicine/transport,  everything else will go to pewps.

The Alphas 60s kit is very nice, a 1u Delete would be preferred to the 2nd sparkle novelty though.
Also, thank you for the CapsLED kit (Extension).

People don't get it.

The primary currency of "the World." is not Dollars,  it's OIL.

We held the middle ease Hostage, because all of their money MUST go through our banking system.  That OIL money MUST return into our capital markets.
 
We then borrow against that "incoming" "recycling",  Allowing, us to PRINT,  which amounts to a disproportionate influx of "Resources/Buys" INTO the American ground base.

NOW,    That WHOLE THINGAMaboob, is blown up.


We can NO LONGER enforce this system..  Ontop of the fact,  that "Our Vassals" (the human rulers in the mid-ease) are "Extremely Unpopular.",  These were merely the mud-hut people the British installed when they left and handed the keys to the 'Murikns

For example, Bahrain (royals), they straight up left, poof, if they went back, they would be killed.

That is to say, that whole region may enter Civil war.   and IN CIVIL WAR,   No one controls anything,  that unpredictability makes the coordinated investment REQUIRED to EXTRACT OIL and SELL OIL,  virtually impossible.


This is WHY.... KPLER... project that the Mid-Ease may only achieve 45% of Pre-War output  FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.  Representing a 15% immediate contraction of World Energy, and as you know the association between GDP and Energy is .95-.99.


Tp4 doesn't necessarily agree with this,  if they side with the Eastrn security architecture, in principle, the Eurasian powers DO have the economic and industrial capacity to restore Extraction rates,   BUHHHhhhhh,  this makes no difference on OUR end,  WE LOSE. 

So, the power on the "Muriknu' side has to decide, our options are some combination of,  Stagflation, World Conflagration, Deep Economic Depression.  The only other option is to Continue the war, which will lead to Hyper-Inflation in the West.

At this point in time, the only thing that looks certain for America, is Insolvency, should there be a CALL- exercised on part of "The rest of the world".

Assuming they don't do that, basically our wiener falls off anyway.

It's kinda weird that we don't have the technology to do such a thing.
