Jun 17, 2022- 'USD strength is killing me as I holiday in Ecuador-
-Dollar index is up 7% this year, as it outmuscles other currencies,
-I’m feeling the brunt of this as I holiday in Ecuador, where the official currency has been USD since 2000,
-Dollar only strengthening relative to other fiat currencies, however, as assessing price of goods tells us,
- "I’ve never lived in the USA. I work for an English company (British Pounds), grew up in Ireland (euro) and live in Colombia (Colombian Pesos). This is relevant because I want to discuss the strength of the US dollar, and why it is not what it seems.
I got to enjoy one of the perks of working for an English company the week before last, as a delightful four-day weekend came my way to celebrate the Queen of England’s 70th year on the throne (“Platinum Jubilee”, to use the official term). I’m not a royal family fanboy, but I’ll certainly take the double bank holiday.

So, I booked a little trip across the border to Ecuador, where I’ve got to see not only scenery of breath-taking beauty, but also experience in person the immense strength of the US dollar." -

🃏This aint an April fools day JOKE🀄️Let the 👹Paros / Strikes👺 Return with a Vengeance⚔️🛡💣🔥01APRIL 2026 - 📈 Prices of basic necessities are rising.📊 "The #SRI (Internal Revenue Service) is applying a 15% VAT to everyday food items such as processed milk, yogurt, bread, noodles, and more.
In practice, going to the market will cost more, and money will go less. This comes on top of rising fuel and transportation costs. The cost of living is increasing, and the burden of the crisis is once again falling on the people."
