>Saturday evening
>this would normally be the peak of the weekend and I'd be feeling comfy
>feel sad because past two weeks have been a holiday
>completed 3 short video games, finished a book, did fuck all else

Today I woke up, played vidya, did some chores, went for a walk, binged on junk food, browsed the internet, completed the video game, am currently browsing the internet, and I'll go to the gym later.

I have a low work wfh job, though I may be called in to the office during the next few months. The upcoming weeks of work will likely be low work due to a reorganisation that has been stretching for months and I'll be having my usual 2 hour lunch breaks and vidya/reading on Friday afternoons: but even then, going back to work is demoralising.

I'm still coasting at work and I think I benefit from things being disorganised. But there are some routine feels every weekday.

>shitting / shaving during the first 30 minutes of every workday
>pointless meetings during early morning
>answers annoying email requests
>having many ideas about what I could do at work but losing all motivation because I'm in an ignored, under-resourced area (though this means no pressure)
>going for my routine 1 hour walk at lunch time while listening to podcasts
>eating lunch
>barely working for rest of the workday
>have a weekly meeting with my manager, who doesn't work in the same area as me; get nervous before each of these because of bad past experience but I think my current manager is even more checked out than me, and I feel relief after every meeting
>on Friday afternoons I do nothing

I will see this as the golden age but I'm not enjoying it.

>futes
Oh wow, another dead cat bounce. Shocker.

I don't think America cares, because that's not how the economic plumbing is set up. Do you know why most of those countries have parked over 90% of their external reserved in USD?
Nobody forced them.
They do it willingly, because it is stable, because Americas economy is stable. It's isn't mismanaged in the sense that you could potentially have a dictator come in next week and just break the rules.

>Meanwhile, Egypt has an inflation of 36% and a zealot government.
>Argentina has an inflation rate of 113% and has basically collapsed.
>Russia's ruble reaching toilet paper status, with a dictator on a opponent killing-spree. Future extremely uncertain.
>South Africa is a failed state, and it will only get worse from here. We all know why.
>India has some upsides, albeit overblown.
>China is facing either several lost decades if they switch to a service economy, or keep up the old model and implode, coupled with terrible demographics and a closed off economic system that could be flipped into nothing overnight.
On and on.
Of course they're fucking pissed, because they've pissed away their own economies through bad decisions and think that sticking it to those doing good will somehow reverse it. Doing trade in these volatile currencies will only worsen their position.
