What causes air to move around with the globe?
Is it the jetstream?
what about the southern hemisphere?

Just like my pee pee moves in my pants because that image you posted is hot.

Nonzero viscocity and friction of air with the ground. Temperature also has an influence in local pressure distribution.

doesn't the air slow down eventually?
is it really possible for a ball spinning 1000 MPH to push air molecules with very little friction against each other at a speed faster than it's own rotation?

I find it troubling that it is impossible to test this on earth as there is no way to have a system with zero friction on the outside

It makes me wonder what a proper simulation would show

remember that at least half of the air (roughly) is being heated all the time except during a total solar eclipse, and even then it is very close to half

Plus the half thats being heated is constantly being switched out at the edges, and the water and land underneath it is also being heated and releasing that heat differently

Why would it slow down? I'm not sure if you're a flattard so if you're asking why the air keeps spinning with the earth instead of slowing down: the earth keeps bumping into it. It keeps rotating with the earth, and the net angular momentum of the earth-atmosphere system stays conserved. If you're asking why it doesn't just die down and rotate neatly with the earth: mainly the sun adding energy into the system.

what about friction with the moon?

Plus the tides probably have something to do with it.
