Is the world mad at America for its decades of reckless spending? (Stock Talk)


I'm upset about inflation, wage stagnation, and asset performance while living in America. So if I'm upset at the U.S. government and businesses because I feel like they're treating other Americans and me poorly. Do you folks think that other countries lower down the totem poll are upset too? I never thought about it this way or was considerate enough to do so.

Because while some have benefited from the U.S.-centered financial system. U.S.-centered macroeconomic policies haven't benefited other countries as much and are possibly harmful to them. It made me think that the change in “World Order” has a very simple reason than the confusing economic pundits say. I think as an aggregate, the world is just tired of the current system and wants change.

So if this is true and America only makes up 350 million or so individuals. If the majority of these individuals are unhappy, then I would expect less fortunate countries to be even more unhappy and have less to lose and more to gain from changes. There is also almost 8 billion people in this world total. While each of these lives under the current system have different levels of “voting” power towards societal functioning, I do think there “votes” count more when they have less to lose and more to gain. Methods of voting become less beurccratic and more physical.

America is 1/22 of the global population. If we all were sent to heaven and people could vote by feet what the world order should be and who benefits from it, this may not be it. So I should be looking at stocks that could benefit from the way things may be changing towards? Or at least parking my money in places that could ride out this storm?

I was placing my money in ETFs mostly in America, but I have the rest of my life till I may never reach retirement to “invest”. So 2 questions:

  1. Is the world kind of upset with the U.S. and wants to change? I mean more so the U.S. financial system and government, not so much the 95% of individuals under the rule of an oligarchy given the false sense of “freedom”. And if so, will those 21/22 or 95% of the rest of the world give or take not entirely benefiting as they could be for their work want to change the current conditions of this world contract? If so, besides gold, where can I place my money? This time could be different because, unlike other crashes, it's different.
  2. Warren Buffet says “never bet against America”. But he never said don't bet on other horses, and he has changed a few times. When Warren met Graham, he had an entirely different investing philosophy. I'm sure people are prone to change. But I also think Warren Buffet has a key role to play in ensuring social stability. So he may not be genuine or honest as he'd be in private discussions like any other celebrity.

Things are always changing quickly. I do think if there are more losers than winners, eventually, the losers get upset enough to quit the game.
