I wouldnt get too excited (those who are at all concerned with how the world works), essentially there has always been a global currency. i.e. The US dollar! And it was and will still be a shitty idea for the majority of Americans and the rest of the world. What does it mean? It means that the world is no longer at the whim of the USA on paper, rather a coalition of 'globalist' nutjobs who will by and large fashion our destinies with their shitty products and 'modes of being' are simply coming out of the closet. It is being pitched as beneficial to "developing" (stagnant, and economically regressive countries) in the same way the IMF and corporatocracy were intended to help these now bankrupt resource rich countries. Westerners (namely north Americans) will be pissed because it levels the playing field of slavery and creates an even wider imbalance between handful of wimpy rich people and the 6 billion strong powerful poor (and that poverty extends on a specturm from physical poverty as in the third world, and a psychological and spiritual poverty in the so called 1st).

So yeah our overconsumptive superficial lifestyles are going to suffer (which is good), just remember this isnt what people should be fighting for. Freedom isnt coca cola and other excesses and everything american corporate culture has come to represent. I dont defend this kind of free'dumb', we need to concede some of our materialism for the sake of the poor in degenerate nations, but not under a phony guise such as this, that does the opposite of what it states. And this potential 'solution' offered by the elites is the false answer to those fixated on abolishing the federal reserve (the private company that makes money whenever it wants to and buys stuff with it!). The Fed is typically protested for enslaving Americans, but "make no mistake" it fucks the rest of the world over too!!! The fed benefits a bunch of dual citizened larcenous nomads who are simply changing their name.

Nationalism aside this IS a global struggle, against the givers and the takers, and we must unite across the globe, and find our common ground before the system swallows us one by one.

Or just get shitfaced and enjoy your bubble!

I have compiled a list to demonstrate the depth in which American forced tax payers are taking up the you know what. On the left side is the ranking of total revenues for 2007, on the left is the total profit for the same year of companies who already have or are likely to benefit from 'bail outs'. Note! This is only from last year:

8th Citigroup 3.6 billion.
9th Bank of America Corp. 15 Billion.
11th Berkshire Hathaway 13.2 Billion.
12th J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. 15.4 Billion.
20th Goldman Sachs Group 11.6 billion.
21st Morgan Stanley 3.2 billion.
37th Lehman Brothers Holdings 4.2 Billion.
38th Wachovia Corp. 6.3 billion.
47th Pfizer 8.1 billion.
74th Prudential Financial 3.7 billion.
75th American Express 4 billion.
85th Aetna 1.8 billion.

How much of your own money did you get
