    Currency manipulation of the sort often attributed to China is a deliberate attempt to weaken the currency relative to the currency of an economic competitor.

    What you were describing is not currency manipulation.

    So increasing the amount of physicaly-asset-backed currency (real-estate) weakens the currency then right ? It's a yes or no question.

    I'm not sure what you're talking about but any purchase of dollar-denominated assets with Chinese currency should weaken the latter with respect to the former.

    A lot of Americans have been eating Chinese food that they didn't know was Chinese food. This is the kind of companies China owns in the U.S.

    So if a Chinese citizen buys dollar-denominated gold bars with Renminbi (by exchanging it with dollars and then making the gold purchase) it weakens the Renminbi I guess. A house is a different asset than gold but the same thing should apply. Having a gold-backed currency strengthens it - and so it is with any other physical assets like real estate.

    You would just buy the dollars and hoard them if you wanted to weaken your currency, as far as I know. (Or maybe T-bills or something like that, I don't know.)

    Your transaction costs would be much lower and dollars will always be more liquid with respect to a given currency (for when you want your money back) than assets that have to be converted to dollars.

    But if your goal was to buy up a nation's physical assets so that you own that country (the original premise - not the currency manipulation strawman you inserted into the conversation), then you could give your citizenry fiat (paper with ink on it) and then have them purchase the physical assets (like real estate) of that country. On the other topic (the strawman), if you back a currency up with a physical asset, whether it's gold,silver.real estate, oil etc. you strengthen the currency.

    Currency manipulation was not a strawman but my attempt to make sense of your fixation on China printing money, which remains mysterious to me.

    Buying assets with a currency is not the same as backing the currency with them. Neither US nor Chinese currency is asset backed.

    If China wants to buy American assets they can do so as far as US law allows. Farther than that they can do it illegally through proxies (although as I understand it countries like China and Russia do this in an ambiguous way that is not necessarily illegal).

    Either way printing money has nothing in particular to do with this. The Chinese government has undoubtedly a vast budget to work with because China is a very wealthy country that has taxes. Printing money is no more or less essential to their revenue than it is for any other country as far as I know.

    When physical assets are purchased with printed fiat handed to (not worked for or earned) its citizenry for the purpose of owning another country then it's a pretty good gig. I apologize for saying that US currency is asset backed. Oh wait, I never wrote that. If your money supply is converted to physical assets, you are effectively hedging against inflation which is also the primary purpose of backing a currency with a physical asset - so effectively, they are backing it up with physical assets. Regardless of how strong the Chinese economy is, I was writing about the process of taking unearned money and converting it to physical assets.

    First of all governments do not normally fund their expenditures through printing money AFAIK. If they did there would be rapid annual inflation in countries like the US where the federal budget is 21% of GDP (per google).

    But second even if they did...why would this not be "worked for or earned" any more than any other method of government funding?

    Or if you think all purchases of assets by governments are bad for some reason, why single China out?

    As I said earlier I think you are conflating the issue of a rival country making strategic purchases of US assets with some obscure notion that purchases by sovereign governments are cheating because they can print money. The former is a legitimate national security concern, the latter is just voodoo as far as I can tell.

    BTW, Smithfield Foods, owned by the Chi-Comms is a 5 billion dollar company. And they own plenty more.

    Giving people fiat and then having them bring that fiat to another country to buy up all the real estate is what I'm stating here. If you choose to believe this is not occurring or that it is but that it has no effect on the well-being of the economy of the United States or its citizens that is your business. I believe it does occur and that it does affect things adversely.

    Gee, there's that number 42, again. "The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(number)

    Of course, the digits of the number 153, which, I guess, along with 173, forms the 42nd dimension.

    153 ---> 135, as 173 ---> 137.

    Name:

    Getting back to the 153/173 numbers. There are two very basic ways in which these two numbers are connected.

    Firstly, by sums of squares. 3^2 + 12^2 = 153; and 2^2 + 13^2 = 173. The progression that results from subtracting 1 from the first number to be squared, while, adding 1 to the second number to be squared. The next number in this progression is, 1^2 + 14^2 = 197. The previous number is, 4^2 + 11^2 = 137. Note that 153 is "on" 173 because of the way that the 2's, and 3's, shift about the other to make up the 153, and 173. Note also the numbers 137, and 197 involve the numbers 1, 4, 11, and 14. A bit of symmetry going on about the 153/173 turn-around spot.

    Secondly, by sums of cubes. The pattern by which 1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3 = 153, and, 1^3 + 7^3 + 3^3 = 371, may be extended by padding these numbers with the digits 0, 3, and 6.

    1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3 = 153;
    16^3 + 50^3 + 33^3 = 165033;
    166^3 + 500^3 + 333^3 = 166500333;
    1666^3 + 5000^3 + 3333^3 = 166650003333; and so on.

    Similarly for the other side, with the padding in reverse, the new digits go on the other sides of the original numbers.

    3^3 + 7^3 +1^3 = 371;
    33^3 + 67^3 + 01^3 = 336701;
    333^3 + 667^3 + 001^3=333667001;
    3333^3 + 6667^3 + 0001^3 = 33366670001; and so on.

    Another thing I noticed with the numbers from BH was that, eg, 692 = 4*173. Some other relevant "fun" numbers. 365 = 5*73 = (4 + 1)*73; 365 = (-1 + 53)*7 + 1; and 365 = 4*(13 X 7) + 1. As well, forty-two months amounts to 3.5 X 1 year.

    How can the basic algebraic results and properties of numbers matter? Well, if we take the math to be numbers, and the physics to be dimensions, then there is a dimensional equation beginning with where the mathematical point coincides with the physical point. Then it can be determined which dimensions are the very basic ones, from where numbers such as the above coincide to form the turn-around dimensions.

    Any and all corrections welcome. "Wonky" numbers are easy to get jumbled up. Maybe, tomorrow, I can get around to tying up some loose-ends about the number 644, from Deech, and the numbers that Monet seems to spout out without knowing it. I don't know that Monet knows what he's talking about, half the time, but some okay numbers come out of him. Ha.

    Shut it down, LMR. = Low Mind thRust, (invar.)

    555 = 111 + 4*111 = 15*37, or 37*15, as 153, and 7, or, 371, and 5. As 153 on 371, to 5/7 left, as 6 +/- 1.

    3/21 to 8/22 is 153 + 1 days. 321 = 107*3 + 0; 123 = 3*71 + 0. To 1/0. 822 = (-1 + 7)(37 + 100); 228 = 57[6 - (1 + 1)], ---> 11411. 15[3^2] = 153 + (5 + 1). 154 days is ~ 42.08% of year 2020. 451 = 11*41^1.

    Well, tomorrow is here. It's good to, again, have a bit of free time. If a few numbers aren't your thing, then just skip this post. I'm not so much into the internet betting stuff, but, I wonder that there will be another surge in virus cases, after this one plateaus, and, then, dips a bit.

    Here is Monet's post, from the grocery thread. I will leave the number stuff at Monet's shopping trips to just this one.

    No lines this time and they had everything I wanted in stock.
    I didn't see any limits on any items but I didn't check everything.
    I bought 11 lbs of chicken, 6 lbs of beef and 5 lbs of pork.
    I got a bunch of oranges, lemons and other vegetables.
    40 eggs, a gallon of milk, 2 loaves of bread and a marble cake.
    Got a few other snacks as well and the cart was full before I realized it.
    125 dollars later I was out the door.
    The digits of the second part, of Monet's post, are, numerically, fairly straightforward, and, stand on their own.

    40 + 2 = 42; or, 4121 = 317*13. And, 125 = (1)5^3.

    The first part is what tied into the number, 644. I was amazing how virtually most of these early numbers tied together.

    Put the 11, 6, and 5, lbs together for 1165 lbs / 5 pm = 233. 2*233 = 466 ---> 644, Deech's number, by doubling the 4 where the 6's are.

    As with the post about 644, also 466 has representations by 4's, 6's, and 9's. Of course, though, these representations didn't work out nearly as neatly as with the number, 168.

    644 = 9*72 - 4 = 9*9*8 - 4 = [9^(1 + 1)][10 - (1 + 1)] - [1 + sqrt(9)] ---> 91111119;

    644 = 4*161 = sqrt(16)*161 ---> 16161;

    644 = 14*2*(24-1) = (4 + 10)(1 + 1)(10 -1 + 14) ---> 41111114.
    466 = 2*233 = 2{-[(9 + 1) / 2] + 2*119} = {-[9 + (1 + 1)^0] + 2*2*119] ---> 9111111119; and

    466 = 2*233 = 2{-sqrt(9) + 2(-1 + 119)} = {-[sqrt(9)]2 + 2*2(-1 + 119)} ---> 91111111119.

    466 = 2*233 = [2(116 + 1) - 1]2 ---> 111161111; and

    466 = 2 + 116*2*2 = (1 + 1) + 116(1 + 1)(1 + 1) ---> 111161111.

    466 = 2*233 = 2[(4 - 1) + 2(1 + 114)] = [(4 + 2) + 2*2(1 + 114)] ---> 41111111114; and

    466 = (114 + 2)4 + 2 = [114 + (2 + 1 / 2)]4 = {(4 + 110) + [(1 + 1) + (1 + 1)^0] / (1 + 1)}4 ---> 4111111114.

    So, there's a way to do each of these representations with eight 1's. Some have nine. I like to try for the same numbers, or, to have the numbers average out, in other ways.

    Incidentally, I found another two ways to thusly represent 644, in terms of 6's.

    644 = [(-10 / 2) + 166]2*2 ---> 1111661111; and

    644 = 2*161*2 = (1 + 1)161(1 + 1) ---> 1116111.

    Neither manner quite fits in with the separate 4's and 9's that have six 1's in between.

    https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...l=1#post110269
    Incidentally, the (1 +1)^0 trick seems a way to make the (1 / 2)611 work out. Well, (1 / 2)611 = {[(1 + 1)^0]611} / 2 ---> 11611 / 2 ---> 42 / 2.

    Damn, the virus and snow has caused me to become a hybrid of Monet and LMR (try putting them both together in the same room).

    If you take Jackie's: RBI total minus Batting Average minus Home Runs minus Steals of Home (a major league record at the time) minus date of debut divided by number of all star appearances…...what do you get? Number 42

    734 - 311 - 137 - 19 - 15 ./. 6 = 42

    I showed my wife this equation with enthusiasm. She demanded that I take my first drink of the day.
    Those numbers not including 42 add to 1222 = (1 + 1)*611 ---> 11611; 42 = 6^2 + 6 = 6^(1 + 1) + 6 ---> 6116. This is like the number 611 facing outward, or inward, with overlapping 6's, or 11's.

    In other words, you can go from 1222 to 11611, to 6116, to 42.

    Anyway, always likely another error or two. It's not much fun re-trudging through a bunch of numbers.
