I blame very low interest rates. These low rates meant the rentier class was able to borrow vast sums of money (much easier than younger adults) and buy up a significant share of single family homes. Maybe I’m misremembering but I don’t remember hearing about a housing shortage pre-COVID.

It’s always been about white Christian nationalism

One step closer to a top 4 pick in the draft. Hopefully it’s a good draft coming up. Lafrenière and Kakko never lived up to their draft slots (1 and 2 overall). I will never blame management for those picks because they were the consensus picks at the time of the draft.

Trump isn’t 6 foot. So it’s possible.

The real issue isn’t the presidency, it’s the fact that shorter men will always have a much harder time climbing the corporate ladder. The C-Suite is disproportionately filled with white men over 6 foot tall.

The King

We all know inflation is really 3.0%. You can’t lower rates at this point. Furthermore, the elites want low rates so they can swoop in and buy more assets cheaply, furthering income inequality. I’m on the side that very low interest rates harm the middle class in the long run.

A reminder that several individuals in the Nixon administration went to prison due to the Watergate scandal, including John Mitchell, the Attorney General.

If he was an American Republican. A significant amount of our population, who makes less than 50k per year, would be pissed off for him.

We chose this path because being a bigot (anti-LBGTQ, brown, Muslim, etc) was more important than qualifications, decency, and democracy. Our country deserves everything it gets going forward, unless drastic changes are made quickly.

Putin has some serious shit on Trump.

International investors ultimately control long term interest rates. Not the Fed window.

Are we about to enter the find out stage if Trump doesn’t chicken out (Taco). It’s possible nothing comes of the Greenland debacle but it’s possible that Trump’s tactics to distract is the “Black Swan” that derails the markets. I thought it would be AI but maybe it’s Epstein that pops the bubble

Yale economist Irving Fisher said in the middle of October 1929 that stocks had reached “what looks like a permanently high plateau”.

The market crashed 2 weeks later.

His claim about how good things have been have a history of going south, quite quickly.

Start the rebuild (again) sooner than later.

With regards to Greenland, couldn't Europe start dumping U.S. Treasuries as a retaliatory measure? That would cripple Trump's economy but could they do it without MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction)? Or maybe we could coin the phrase MAED (Mutually Assured Economic Destruction).

This is why home prices should go down when rates go up.

The Rangers either score 5 goals+ or get shutout. This team isn’t all that good. I wanted Drury to be successful. Local kid, wore #23 because of Don Mattingly. I just don’t think he is any good. I liked their direction under Gorton much better.

Buying the dip has been the right play for a while now. It even worked pretty good in 1929, after the crash.

At some point, it’s not probably not going to work anymore. This AI bubble could keep the markets stagnant for a while, until the shakeout is complete. Or maybe I’m completely wrong
