The cannister fillers allow you to create 25kg bottles at a time, and require dupe interaction to do so. If you build a rocket platform, any engine, then replace the engine with a gas cargo tank, plus of course a rocket port loader, you have a cannister filler that produces 11t bottles without dupe interaction.
Using the new move to-command, you can use this to bring 11t bottles of oxygen along with you to oxygenate a fresh base on a new planetoid, using the cannister emptier. 11 tons will last many cycles. Also you don't need to wait the stupidly long times for these to fill when you build them on the real rocket, which could be flying again instead of waiting on the rocket platform.
Yeah, so as I understand it, the US is able to have this huge trade imbalance because they can pay for their imports in currency they can print themselves, and other central banks will take the dollars because it's the reserve currency and because petrol products are traded in dollars. It is a rather delicate balance, that allows the US to consume with unlimited credit, that will work as long as others want dollars.
I understand how other economies would like to break this relationship and get in on the putting everything on the credit card, or to break it just so that the US doesn't have so much economic power over the world.
What I don't understand is how an American, much less the president himself, would want this balance upset. Even as a European, I believe it's in my economic interest that the Americans consume.
Do I have a better understanding of this than the American government??
