This is the best tragecomedy I've received so far this week. To keep from crying, I've learned to laugh out loud at this kind of BS.
"Nominate Your Company for an Exporter of the Year Award"
Now, for any novice readers, understanding this tragecomedy depends on achieving a modern perspective and paradigm. Why would YOU want to send our real resources to foreigners, for them to use in their country? Better to build insanely great products or services that further build our capabilities of and opportunities within the USA. What the heck do you need THEIR fiat currency for, when we already have our own fiat currency? As long as we can build & do new things here that simultaneously improve the confluence of faster+leaner+better, then we can always let less-accomplished nations export things that are no longer rate limiting for us.
However, we should do that only IF they can't self-organize by any other means than agreeing to at least practice by exporting real real goods to us instead of using them to improve the general welfare of their own people. In reality, we allow that only to give them an organized purpose they're failing to do by other means, just as we let them mow our lawns & clean our houses & go to our schools. After all, people with less useful currencies are still clamoring to acquire our fiat currency.
The best things you can do for people in foreign countries are:
1) make USA economic practices a beacon for them to emulate;
2) volunteer to help educate & train them, and help them practice;
3) donate critical resources to them if you feel that's more productive than making your country something even more worth emulating.
Best thing you can do for YOUR country? Don't slow down our relentless progress in "making a more perfect union."
Nirvana = having a fiat currency and knowing how to use it - and demonstrating that to other countries.
Meanwhile, here's the clueless BS of the week, below.
