Someone told me once to watch out for dollar hedged international bond funds because the dollar hedging will work against the goal here (betting against the US dollar). I don't know enough to really speak on it, but just be aware and maybe look into it if your goal is to avoid USD devaluation.

You can usually order straight euros in cash from your bank if you want to avoid USD savings. Then convert them back to USD as needed for expenses.

It's fine as a city painter but if you actually value the economy or simulation aspects, it's not good. The economy simulation is broken so they just force through profits to make it seem like it's working. It ruins it for me, bec that's why I play city builders. I don't like exclusive city painters, and CS2 might as well as just delete the entire money part

This sounds like every terrible mobile game I've ever played. Are gachas similar to tap tap games on mobile?

Regulation of predatory practice. Taxation on the games to pay for rehab and support services for people that experience negative effects from it. It's really easy to do, but every single gambling operation gets the big bucks from the heavily addicted. The whales are the entire business.

The widespread deregulation of gambling in the US is heading that way too.

Weird. I only seem to get AFib when I eat Chipotle.

This is obviously where this is going and it's a big part why they're obsessed with labeling people "groomers."

You can invest in foreign funds, but some of them are US currency hedged to help reduce the effect of the exchange rate(s) which will somewhat counter what you're trying to do. I don't know much about this, but keep it in mind when researching funds, especially foreign bond funds.

Giant hubs for industry with massive transportation to them, like an old Soviet city.

That's weird. Russians and Americans aren't sanctioned from working on projects together. The sanctions are mostly targeted towards industry and defense. Tucker Carlson works for Russian media and freely travels between the two countries. There has to be something more to this, like the IP came from a known state actor.
