You actually have it backwards, buy hey, you are a fortunate American – lucky to be alive during the best time in history for an average pleb so it’s understandable you think that way if you have never been under the boot.
BRICS countries have at one point, or another, been colonies of Western superpowers providing cheap commodities to their masters for next to nothing. And many third world countries still are.
But now these ‘colonies’ (third world economies) are waking up to how the West has duped them all these years and are now demanding more (worthless fiat currency – and soon – gold backed currency) for their valuable national treasures and work.
Can’t blame them.
Anyway, not trying to be controversial – just accurate.
Gotta go
