Thanks! They are a bit more than I expected but still not bad even at $249.

They sound neat. I'd like to try some, what did you get?

That's a pretty fancy way of saying "We are going to use our money to buy things we need." I mean that's sorta to be expected.

It's also not a comment on "value of the dollar is about to beaten into the ground". There doesn't seem to be a basis to support the theory that purchasing too much NG will cause the US Dollar to decline in value.

The USD will likely decrease in value but it will happen because of Republican stupidity, not due to mass purchases of goods from US companies.

Got a link to an article or something discussing that?

What I do not get is why Trump isnt championing this as the right move.

Trump isn't aware of anything more than 1 foot from his nose. Frankly he doesn't need to be aware of this, the US Is already selling a crazy amount of LNG on the Global Market. Here's the graph of exports.

Oil is a different matter. The US can produce plenty of crude but is seriously constrained by refinery capacity. No new refineries of significance have been built since 1976 and all of the existing refineries are already working flat out. It's why the US was importing so much refined petroleum product (Gasoline, Diesel, etc) from Russia prior to the Ukraine war.

The move to green is the way forward,

It is part of a strategy to unload their dollar holdings.

Ya gotta have the currency in order to spend it. If a Nation runs out of USD while they still need NG (or anything else traded in USD) then they're going to have a bad time.

The value of a dollar is about to be beaten into the ground.

Possibly but the U.S. Federal Reserve has the ability to blackhole a LOT of dollars and if the inflows exceed their ability then the price of NG will climb until it balances.

If you doubt me then line up this chart of US NG Exports with this chart of USD DXY. The effect predicted by the strategy isn't visible.

Frankly I'm not sure there's enough NG demand in the world to tank the USD via purchases.

In another couple of years. If Hungary and Slovakia are willing to play along (they aren't).

That isn't exactly true with Steam. Valve does allow a dev to offer a discount at a different store as long as that same discount comes to Steam in a reasonable amount of time.

Straight from the docs:"It's OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time."

Samsung Dex already does this with Android.

I always forget about this perk of my Amazon subscription so thanks for posting this. I jumped over and claimed all the GOG codes. I've never tried the Lego games using Proton so I hope they work.
