yep agreed, I really appreciate your posts and write ups. I'm like 5% through superimperialism

so here the Federal Reserve can sell government-backed securities (US treasuries) at a specific rate (say 2%) to set the minimum price of borrowing

It's my understanding that treasury rates are set at auction, so these rates can be driven by demand (and not just internally as bidding is done by outside governments). The easier way to affect interbank lending is through interest on excess reserves - https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reserve-balances.htm

This very transparently sets a floor while discount window rates sets the cap on interbank lending, and of course feeds back in to the treasury auction results as banks will allocate excess reserves to treasuries if they are paying substantially more than the interbank/fed IOER rates

I was looking for something like this, thanks. Still pathetic that average voter equates illegal immigrants with jobless criminals by default.

Apple suing Tesla for design theft would be moderately entertaining, I'll allow it.

Does this genocidal asshole really not want to fuck off into the sunset? He wants to be the proverbial cowboy clutching the reigns of an exhausted horse for 4 more years?

Really???

He's seriously not trying his absolute best not to throw this election to his bottom of the barrel competition?

10% of me believes he would be so pissed if he won reelection and have to do another tiktok video about the Superbowl

How does it compare to the air quality in a river of cars rolling 3mph through dystopian city scapes?

Whatever it takes to avoid the excessive snacking debuff

I can't tell if this is the usual coordinated anti-China prop or a big ad buy from Huawei, because the net effect is I really want a Huawei phone now

It's a pretty funny bit

This. Is. An. Investment. In. Democracy.
