  1. US Dollar continues to reign supreme. Flight to safety plus hawkish Fed. International Capital adores austerity for the masses. —————————- Employment outlook - storm clouds on the horizon with 50% of firms surveyed planning layoffs https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-18/layoffs-are-planned-at-half-of-all-companies-pwc-survey-shows

  6. Good grief . . .
  7. “Carry to bury” laws are barbaric.
  8. Nationalist Christian Party (“Nat C”) is alive and well in America.
  9. ‘There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”’ - Isaac Asimov, 1980.
  10. “Imposed” is spot on. The efficiency gains from decades of neoliberal economic policy are crumbling. On-shoring will become more important for American economic stability.
  11. GB with a 10% inflation rate. The US is the prettiest ugly chick at closing time right now.
  12. Explain ultra-accommodative Fed with minimal GDP growth.
  13. A reminder of what normal transitions looked like before Trump:
  14. Bad news is good news for the markets. As the risk of recession grows (hard landing), the Fed should slow down or pause rate hikes. The rub is the Fed is a little touchy about its reputation as dovish, which raises the possibility the Fed will stick to its hawkish stance longer than merited by actual conditions - worsening any downturn. To the Fed, inflation is worse than recession. Your mileage may vary.
  15. “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies . . .”. The animal spirits play a large role with inflation. It is known. Cost-push or demand-pull inflation is fought with the same tool: demand destruction.
  16. Not really. More supply chain trouble in China ahead. Butterfly flapping wings in China affects globalized capitalism. Same as it ever was - since 1980.
  17. China has the flu. More supply chain trouble ahead.
  18. “Eugenics without a mandate.”
  19. Treason would depend on what he did with the information. Too early to conclude whether treason is on the menu.
  20. Transitory? Everything is transitory if you.give it enough time.
  21. As a Texpatriate, Beto gets my support. Texas has descended into a dystopian reality that would be comical if real people were not in the line of fire. It is due for a correction before it is fully regarded as a joke. If I could ask one thing of Beto is that he stand with two feet on the ground when making a point. He presents as shifty when he wildly animates his words. The words get lost when the mind attempts to translate the gestures. It is a small criticism and certainly not a substantive complaint. He is miles better than the alternative.
  22. The Fed put and has become the Fed call?
