What’s up with that body text? I assumed they’re always manually written by whoever submits the post
It’s auto pulled from the article and the article isn’t opening for me either.
Lemmy automation that doesn’t work. As a poster you can do nothing. The worst kind of automation there is.
It all looks good on my end. Could be the app I use corrects it in translation tho.
Are you claiming to not see this?:
I see that too, on lemmy.today.
fwiw I don’t see that anywhere
OK, but in the standard web interface it’s there, maybe the app removers it, because it’s an automatically added text, that more often than not is irrelevant.
Yup. I don’t see that.
no body text appears for me. I would be annoyed at an automated one. The body to me is supposed to be the start of the conversations from the poster.
I’m on sync, don’t see any body text
Just so you know what I meant:

Yeah that’s not there for me <img alt="" src="https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/12c1fde4-ad0b-4433-8274-8a836164e2d7.png">
Germany should do the same, why haven’t they already?

USA no longer deserves to be the financial center of the world they’ve been for many years.
Gold reserves, petro dollar, global reserve currency, and as collateral damage, the continued flood of brain power coming from around the world will stop. It will all collapse because the American population is too stupid to elect an even somewhat sensible government.
It’s kind of sad, because the ideals USA claimed to protect were fine, it just turned out to be a lie. And now they are not even protected but are falling apart inside USA too.
USA no longer deserves our trust, and not even our respect anymore.
As an American I feel like I should be disputing this but all of your points are quite good.
I were going to make a list here of just the most outrageous offenses the US has done to US allies in just the last months. But the list kept getting too long for the short witty response I wanted to make…
What if you focus on stuff the US didn’t used to do? Because they used to do all the imperialist stuff too, just with more excuses to try justifying it (or, better secrecy).
If they sold gold in New York to buy gold in Europe, how did they turn a profit? Is this some accounting magic I’m too poor to understand?
Dunno and didn’t read article, but buy in Europe first, prices go up, sell in USA last.
“they simply sold the older, less pure gold bars in New York for what they were worth in U.S. dollars as gold prices were reaching all-time highs, then pocketed the cash and bought bars that met their updated weight and purity standards in Europe, as prices conveniently pulled back.”
