US politics is a money and beauty contest

Subject: A Few Thoughts I Wanted to Share: Money Game and Beauty Contest By Johnson Choi May 2 206 主旨:分享一些想法. 金錢遊戲與選美比賽. 蔡永強. 五月二日 親愛的 DH: Carmen 和我已經決定參加一個和朋友們一起的小型巴士之旅。我以為你離開了 APAPA,所以很驚訝知道你回來了。 老實說,我從 1983 年雷根總統時期就開始參與美國聯邦、州及市級的政治工作。經過 43 年,我學到一件事:美國政治是一場金錢遊戲和選美比賽。亞裔幾乎沒有機會影響美國政治,更不用說在地方層級以上為我們群體帶來任何實質改變。那些有錢人打著參與政治的幌子,頂多吸引目光、獲得一些名聲與認可而已。 Carmen 和我寧願把我們的影響力用在為華裔美國人謀求更好的處境——不是那些有錢人,也不是那些腐敗的中國官員或把美國稱為「甜蜜的家」的商人。我說的是草根的華裔美國人,他們想離開這個稱為「地獄」的美國,回到家鄉、回到中國大灣區退休。當他們每月 3000 美元的美國退休金在美國只代表貧困,但在中國卻能過上豐足快樂的生活——因為 3000 美元在中國的購買力相當於 15000 美元。 我們這一代夠聰明、看清這一點的華裔美國人,是最快樂的一群。他們選擇「刪除美國」,盡情享受人生。我有幾十位客戶正是這樣做。每次我在中國見到他們,有些人含著眼淚感謝我。 在美國 53 年,我從未見過這麼多年輕的 ABC(美國出生的華人)——多數擁有高情商和高智商——放棄美國公民身份。世界變了。我告訴我的兒子和他的三個兒子(我 3 到 6 歲的孫子):等他們長大,美國會比現在糟糕十倍。對我們 50 歲以上的人來說,我們正活在美國的最後一口氣上。對我的孫子們來說,如果他們留在美國,他們就完了——沒有任何如果或但是。如果他們不聽,他們的愚蠢會害死他們,我甚至不會為他們感到難過。 野獸的法則不會變:只有最適應、最聰明的人才能生存。這個法則經過時間考驗,永遠不會改變。 最好的問候,蔡永強 DearContinue reading “US politics is a money and beauty contest”

Krugman and Kindleberger essentially argue that using the dollar to conduct business is more convenient and efficient for the world

Krugman and Kindleberger essentially argue that using the dollar to conduct business is more convenient and efficient for the world. A weaponised dollar, though, is neither convenient nor efficient, but downright lethal. That is why many countries, including those of the Brics+, have been busy devising alternative currency transfer and settlement systems. All that willContinue reading “Krugman and Kindleberger essentially argue that using the dollar to conduct business is more convenient and efficient for the world”
