Only going to worry if the dollar ceases to be the reserve currency. It does make me laugh when someone in the US talks down China for manipulating their currency.

Whats a brilliant reason for the dollar ceasing to be the reserve currency?
Unlimited quantitative easing to bail out billionaires and buy the worlds cheap oil at the expense of all nations and entities who hold dollars -- and this at a time where the US is unfit to bomb you into the stone age for it.
So, now.

I wouldn't call what's currently happening to be "losing ground". A couple pennies swing either way and we're back where we were a month ago.
Dollar is going up relative to pretty much every currency except the Euro. Euro is pretty stable. After Brexit, even GBP's taken a shit.

That's basically guaranteed in the next decade or two. Russia and Iran have already considered, and possibly (likely) started, trading oil for gold. That's the beginning of the end for the USD.
Unlimited QE will only accelerate the demise through inflationary pressure. Especially when the GOP starts screaming about the deficit on November 4th and tries to force a deflationary austerity policy.

This is really the big thing. Even with QE, the USD is propped up by the perception of US military dominance. While I don't necessarily think the US military is unbeatable, it will appear so until we start a war with a real country with an actual military, like Iran or China. The moment the first modern US aircraft carrier touches the bottom of the ocean is the moment the USD stops being a reserve currency and start becoming the same as any other third world bullshit currency.

We will always have money for bombs. If we loose our reserve currency status, I am certain a war would commence. So now, lets spend/support the military industrial complex with our bailout money.

Good video. I'm sure most here won't take the time to watch, so I'll briefly summarize.
The bailout money is mostly just going to the super rich, while the koods of the world remain clueless from reading the New York Times.
For those who actually care what is going on, only a small fraction of the bailout is going towards workers and universal benefits; the vast majority goes to big banks and investment firms at the expense of taxpayers (remember, the bottom 50% now pay a higher tax rate than the top 400).
Stock and asset prices are dropping, while big banks get all the bailout money to potentially buy everything up again.
Meanwhile, the establishment press ignores what's actually going on while trying to pit both sides against each other, even though in reality both sides of Congress are on the same team (helping their wealthy donors).
Everyone wanted to know how we pay for Medicare for All (even though the net cost is less than the current system), but no one is asking how we pay for the current bailout because it's mostly going to the rich.
The surprising thing is that even Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders seem to be going along with this (because Main St is getting a few crumbs). I'm seeing a lot of progressives start to question them...
What's especially interesting is that because of the virus, no one can hit the streets to protest.
Big banks will soon be using taxpayer's own money to buy their assets up from them.
For those who don't have 50 min to watch the above video, here's a fun shorter clip of Dylan Ratigan losing his temper on MSNBC over how both sides of Congress are bought back in 2011 (also included in the video above). 
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

"Trump has told people he wants his signature to appear on the direct payment checks that will go out to many Americans in the coming weeks, according to an administration official. The White House didn’t comment. Normally, a civil servant — the disbursing officer for the payment center — would sign federal checks, said Don Hammond, a former senior Treasury Department official..." https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-wants-his-signature-to-appear-on-coronavirus-stimulus-checks-2020-03-28
I won't get one though because I get direct deposit of my SS retirement $ each month. I'm guessing around April 17 (3 weeks since the signing) for my bribe, paper check probably not going out before May.  We'll see.

It's more the beard thing than the Indian thing.
Also, the name of the show gives away the bias.
There is evidence backing that conservatives understand liberalsleftists. Liberals is the wrong word. Liberal values are good. It's then the other way around. The theory I heard has to do with how most media has a leftist bias. I've watched well over a thousand movies and know the values I was shown as a child.
Money and business are evil, naive ideas of morality
I've been thinking, and the tactics I hate and am probably guilty of implementing just based on being a person and the ease that the brain does this with. 1.Undercut Attacking someone's character or where you think they got information, rather than what they are saying. This person involves 'mind reading' and insults. Usually illegitimate insults.
2.Project This goes along with undercutting. Once you have argued enough with a leftist you'll start seeing their personal insecurities come out subtextually.
The example that comes to mind is when people, usually gay or hideous(in their own mind most importantly), respond to an argument they perceive as an attack with an accusation of homosexuality or being attracted to them.
Accusing others of racism when they back divergent policies for different groups
3.Deflect Completely avoid the point. There are so many ways of doing this that I'm sure books have been written.
I wanted to list this here in case I forgot I've had many convorsations,

I have a completely liberal Democratic voting family, and my friend is a green party voter. This is an observation after many attempts to understand how someone can stay on the left past high school
